Joao was a great host and gave me a good intro to Porto as well as answering a few questions during my stay.
The view is as good as it looks, over the Duero to the old port houses at Gaia and to the bridge.
The apartment is big and clean and well stocked as well as a welcome bottle of port!
Your legs will get a good work out getting to and from the apartment as well as generally all over Porto which is built over river cliffs and hills behind, all the better for walking of that cheeky pastel de nata!
The lower floor of the apartment connects to the free lift you can see in the photos which takes you down to the Ribiera, but it closes at 7:30pm and all week ends plus at other times mysteriously! Still useful to save your legs a bit.
A great place in a cool town.
