Lapa Garden is a beautiful apartment perfectly situated to the tram network, 2 min walk, and a 10-15 minute walk into the city. This place is ideal for those that wish to explore the city or just have a quiet getaway. Considering how close we were to the city, the neighbourhood is really quiet throughout the day, making an good nights sleep possible after a long day of sight seeing.
We were met by the Marco's mother in law who provided us with recommendations on must do tourist attractions, how to get around the city, and local delicacies. We also had a late return flight home. Marco was extremely accommodating and let us keep our luggage in the apartment instead of carrying it across the city for the entire day.
Unlike other apartments, Marco's place has a large garden with outside furniture and BBQ. In addition to this, the apartment has a living room/dining room where you can relax after a hard day of sightseeing. I say this as while we were looking for accommodation we found that many apartments were tiny with just a bedroom and some sort of kitchen facilities.
After reading some of the not so positive reviews, I can honestly say that the bed is extremely comfortable and there are no issues with the water pressure in the shower. We cannot fault the apartment or the host!
Oporto is an amazing city and the apartment exceeds expectations. We will definitely by staying here again! Thank you for a wonderful experience
