Cristina's place is excellent value for money, and an easy walk from the train station for Porto as well as to the famous beach with the chapel at Miramar. Cristina and her daughter were friendly and helpful when I stayed here with my eight year old. We were dashing into Porto a lot and didn't get to spend huge amounts of time getting to know Cristina, but the suite is really clean and well equipped and the outdoor space is lovely. There is a little coffee shop a couple of minutes' walk away with a friendly lady selling homemade queijadas, which my daughter loved, I liked to stop in there for coffee on my way to the station! Also a nice family-run minimarket about 15 minutes walk away, or less. I didn't find an ATM nearby though, so good to have cash for fruit markets etc that don't take cards. Lovely place and handy location though!
