Pedro is an amazing host! He not only waited at our apartment for over an hour to receive us, but he even offered to drive us to the train station at the end of our stay so that we could continue onto our next destination. He also supplied a breakfast for the morning that we arrived!

His apartment is perfectly situated. It's slap bang in the centre of old Porto, right up the middle of Rua de Santa Carina. That makes it walking distance from just about everything (plenty of beautifully tiled churches are a stones throw away). Its also a short walk to one of the main stations, which is very convenient if you want to get buses to beaches, or trains out of Porto. There's also a metro station close to the apartment. The apartment is beautiful. Three of us stayed comfortably for 4 nights, and can easily accommodate two couples. Pedro's done a great job kitting the place out... modern finishes, fully stocked kitchen (washing machine, dishwasher stove, microwave, coffee machine etc). There was also a good supply of coffee, which was great, because it saved us a trip to the shops on our first night!. The apartment also has free WIFI, which was very useful, and cable TV. The apartment is on a busy street, and Pedro said that he was concerned about the noise, but in reality - the shutter doors to the balcony provide ample sound proofing, and the noise didn't bother us at all.

So glad we opted for Pedro's apartment. Infinitely better (and more affordable) than a hotel. Pedro was such a good host, that it felt like we left a friend behind when we checked out.
