I spent a very nice week in Porto and the main reasen, that I really enjoyed the trip was the beautiful apartment and the hospitality of Elisa and Luis. From Elisa I got details via e-mail about the possibilities for the transport from the airport. I came in on a saturday and despite it was the free day of Elsa and Luis, they gave me a warm welcome. Elisa gave me all the informations I need to start a nice holiday. During the stay Elisa and Luis were always there, when I had questions. Very nice was that Luis baked my favorite biscuits on the last day, so that I could take them with me.
The apartment is well equipped and newly renovated. I did not miss something. Even with 2 Persons the apartment has enough space. Especially beautiful is the view through the windows on the churches on the opposite site. The location is central. Situated in the center, you need only some minutes to the old town and 20 min. to the riverside. Shopping area (bolhao market) is only 15 in away. In the direct surrounding you find many pubs and bars, where you can find nice live music. The only small disadvantage is connected to the bars. On saturday night it is loud on the streets. I did not need the earplugs, which Elisa gave me, but maybe others will need them.
