We have just had a magical time in Porto. This house provided the perfect base from which to explore - being within easy walking distance of everything. It was a haven of comfort after a hard day being a tourist - being cosy and well-equipped.
We arrived by taxi from the airport, very straightforward - about 25 euros, and João was there to greet me. He had provided port. natas, some basics - a well appreciated act of kindness.
There is a small supermarket a couple of minutes walk away.
Access in to Porto took just a few minutes on foot (via the splendid Luis I bridge), similar for the descent in to the quayside (and WOW) on the Vila Nova de Gaia side. The new Mercado di Bolhao is a joy.
Great nights sleep, we felt safe and secure in our cute casa amarela.
