Monica's apartment is a real find. Tucked away in an arty, bohemian suburb of Porto, it has a real downtown LA/Marrakesh vibe. The streets around are TINY so make sure you are a confident driver but on the upside, parking was easy.
You are closely connected to transport (metro, station, bus) but walking into the centre is only 20 mins.
The neighbourhood has real character, and Monica's hand drawn maps really help locate supermarkets,restaurants and other suggestions. Sadly the local park was closed for renovations but imagine this is a great place to spend time when it is open.
The apartment itself has real character and a lovely spacious balcony area. We'd highly recommend staying here.
