Lovely apartment - clean, good amenities and good location near the river Douro and the Atlantic ocean. Sonia is a caring host who kept in touch via the website and text messages. We know this area well and it's so easy to travel between Porto and Matosinhas on the 500 bus. There's also the tram for the journey into Porto. The park, which is 2 minutes walk, would make it suitable for families with children. There's a great Sunday market in the park, lots of artisans selling their work. Sonia's father also told us about a free Fado concert along the river which we really enjoyed. There is so much to do and see - we will be back! Thank you Sonia and Ricardo and also your mother and father
