We never got to meet Helena. We were welcome by Eduardo instead, who kindly showed us the apartment and gave us the usual directions. He was very nice and helpful. We loved the apartment, a refurbished old flat, with high ceilings and big rooms. It is much bigger than it looks from the pictures.

The apartment was cold the first night, probably because it was empty the week before. Heating was set on and off automatically but It took that night and the following day to get to a comfortable temperature inside the house. At times it was colder inside than outside.

Location was good. Pretty close to Porto's city centre, but "far" enough to be quiet at night, which is especially interesting when you travel with kids.

muito obrigado!
