We loved our stay at Fernanda’s apartment. Just a short walk from two Metro stations and a 15-20 minute walk from the Ribeira, it was well located for us.
Fernanda had left us with a map of the local area, along with recommendations for places to eat and drink, and included thoughtful touches like umbrellas (it rained a lot during our stay).
The place was spotlessly clean and really well equipped (with a dishwasher, all the crockery, pots, pans and utensils you need to make a nice meal, a toaster, microwave and an espresso maker).
The apartment is right next door to a bakery, where we bought fresh bread every morning. It’s also a short walk from several supermarkets.
We’d recommend a trip by bus or tram to the coast at Foz and the fishing port Matosinhos for tasty grilled fish. Also having a port cellar tour and tasting across the river and wandering round the city centre for sights and shopping.
