Sonia’s apartment is great, is she. The apartment is beautiful, with stone walls, tall windows, solid wood shutters with handmade metal latches, a comfortable bed and couch, and high quality, local throws that are cozy. The apartment and building were recently renovated, and are of very high quality.
The location is ideal I for travelers wanting the archetypal Porto experience. It overlooks a beautiful plaza with nice restaurants and live musicians, and yet isn’t loud. It’s peaceful.
It’s a pleasant five minute walk to the river area as well as up the hill to all cafes, restaurants, wine tasting, grocery, and soon, the metro.
Sonia is equally wonderful. She was waiting for us and have us a warm hug upon arrival. She took the time to give us an insider’s view in places to go and see. Her recommendations were spot-on.
We plan to return.
