Manuals place is great. The view from his living room is the one you will see in the photo. Very clean and private. Although the bathroom was not private, there are three bathrooms in the space, so I can't imagine having to share or it being occupied. I got in late and manual had an extra bottle of wine, he allowed me to purchase for 5$ That aged me from having to explore on my first night there. There are many coffee shops just five minuets away and I had coffee at a different one everyday. People very friendly. If you like shopping, that street is half the price you will pay in the old town. Subway and buses very frequent. Easy to get around if you don't mind walking 10-15minuets if not I took a taxi once and it was 6$. So that is also an option. Porto itself is across the river but on this side of river is all the wine cellars. A must-do on everyone's list. Short walk. Metro is easy and cheap. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
