If you want to stay in a spotlessly clean apartment close to the historic centre of Porto then this is it. We stayed for a week and did loads of things. There are lots of bars and restaurants close by along with the famous book store and Clergios tower right next door.
If you don’t mind walking then the river is only 15 minutes away, once there you can take a boat ride or walk across the beautiful bridge. We did both and then got a taxi boat back across the river. We also visited other areas and beaches using the very reliable trains that run from Soa Bento station.
One thing I will say is Porto is extremely hilly and the walk back from the river is like walking up Mount Snowden!!
Obviously there are other means of transport so you should be ok but just be aware if you are in a wheel chair or have a child in a buggy.
All in all we had a great time in Porto and it was made all the more perfect with the apartment, loads of little extra touches were provided that you would not get anywhere else and it’s was so clean.
