Took a train up from Lisboa, to spend three nights in Ivan’s wonderful, extremely clean and organized apartment. We took a 5 minute taxi from Sao Bento to his place, and he was there to greet us. Ivan gave us an introduction to his beautiful place and even made dinner reservations at Terreirinho’s, a 5 minute walk away. It was excellent, as was everything connected to our stay. His place is perfectly located to the action down by the river, yet is quiet, spacious, and peaceful. There are two bedrooms and a large bath. The bed was so comfortable and the view of the river out the bedroom windows was memorable. Wi-Fi was super fast and the kitchen has everything you could ever need. Ivan even provided water and wine, which we greatly appreciated. Again, a 5 minute walk to the river where you can take a water taxi to the port wine tasting rooms of Villa Nova De Gaia—not to be missed. Taylor’s has a self-guided tour and beautiful gardens to taste your ports. Ivan made sure that we had the perfect stay. He is a remarkable host and the apartment is a remarkable place from which to explore Porto.
