Sofia is an extraordinarily attentive and generous hostess—I wrote her when we first booked the apartment that I was worried about summer heat, and she immediately bought large electric fans for each room. (In fact, Porto is comparatively cool and breezy in the summer, but it’s a sign of her considerateness.) The apartment is very clean and stylish and the long balcony makes a great outdoor space. Quiet, light-filled,perfect location.
