Eugenia & Luis - Mouzinho 134 Green - Porto
Want to visit Porto on foot? There is nowhere better than at Eugenia & Luis' "Mouzinho 134"! It is within walking distance of the main tourist attractions: S.Bento railway station, Clérigos Tower, S.Francisco Church, Stock Exchange Palace (Palácio da Bolsa), D.Luis I bridge, River Douro and all the riverside attractions, Lello bookstore, Aliados Avenue, Majestic Café, etc. etc. As to the apartment itself, it is fantastic. The double glazed windows keep out any noise and anything and everything you need is there ready for you. This was our first experience with airbnb and we loved it. The only recommendation I would have is to make sure you know what you are in for beforehand and which floor your room is on. We were on the second floor and it could be difficult for some. On the other hand, if you can't cope with the stairs, you will have difficulty walking around Porto. It is a hilly town and there is very little flat ground. Mouzinho is well placed about halfway between the Douro river and the Clérigos tower so you can choose to go either up or down each time. I hope to go back to Porto one day, and my choice would certainly be to stay at Mouzinho 134!
