The apartment was everything advertised and more. It was beautifully restored and decorated with large bright bedrooms and the kitchen was well equipped with almost anything you would require. Fernando and his wife met us and showed us the heating/cooling system and how things worked and Fernando took my husband to the very close and secure parking area just a minutes walk away. They also spoiled us with a delicious array of fresh fruits, pastries and wonderful regional wines. The apartment was quite central, but quiet, yet minutes away from a large market and shopping mall, but very close to the older part of the city which was a wonderland at night, what with all the Christmas lights. The only downside is that the washing machine that was advertised was away for repairs, but the laundromat is about 50 metres away so we managed just fine. All in all a wonderful space to retire to at the end of a busy day of touring Porto.
