What is there to say except FANTASTIC. The photos do not do the apartment justice and as a host, Mellow cannot be surpassed. He was so very helpful, immediate and friendly.
We had a minor check in hiccup (not his fault) which he resolved immediately. From then on, we were able to enjoy Porto from this brilliantly positioned flat. It is right in the centre of Vitoria which has lots of local and hip cafes, bars and restaurants and is right on the number 22 tram circular route. We did head to the river too but Vitoria better suited our style.
The big doors/windows open on to the main street to soak up the bustle, singing, trams of the city but when closed, it is completely calm. The bedrooms are very very quiet to the rear with super comfy big beds and lovely fine bedlinen. Fluffy white towels complement the great shower rooms.
A must do for any first time Porto travellers is the river trip up the Douro. It was around 70 euros pp but included breakfast lunch wine and a fabulous rail trip back.
All in all, thank you so very much Mellow. You and your apartment are our best ever Airbnb experience!
