What a great location in terms of convenience, comfortable space, no noise at night, and close to everything while giving a taste of a less touristy part of Porto. Manuel greeted us even though we arrived earlier than expected, and we felt right at home with the tour of the place and loved his recommendations for restaurants and things to do. We were able to get tickets to a wonderful concert at the Casa Musica which is near by. We walked to the old town in 20 minutes - it's also easily accessible by transit, and we were able to walk to Foz as well - a nice break at the ocean from all the historical sights We loved having a large terrace, a spacious apartment and comfortable beds and living/dining room. We were able to do laundry and dry everything easily, hugely important as we travel very light for many weeks at time. We enjoyed the full size kitchen, the condiments and Nespresso machine a great deal.
