It is a very good choice for someone wanting to spend time in Porto. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood about 20 minutes by bus into Porto. There is a grocery store and numerous excellent restaurants within walking distance. Being able to stroll along the riverfront after dinner is an added bonus. Paula went out of her way to make our stay pleasant. If you’re traveling with small children, the fact that the hot water came out of the tap scalding hot and could burn someone, may be an issue.
