We arrived on an early flight and Cristina arranged for her very pleasant daughter Ariana to meet us at the apartment since she was busy that morning. The welcome was good and the information very clear. The location of the apartment was perfect. There is a lovely little bakery just 60 yards away to the right and a good shop on the main road to the left for fruit and wine. You cross the road walk for less than five minutes along the river and you are in the Ribeira district. It is a longer uphill walk to the centre of town but still only 10 to 15 minutes. The No 500 bus stops just outside and goes to the beach. The living kitchen area is very cosy and with the windows open and the sun shining in it could be difficult at times to force yourself to go out and enjoy the delights of Porto. Especially if you had a glass of wine and some ham and cheese handy. The shower and wi-fi were very good. My only word of caution is that there are two steep flights of stairs to climb and the bed although comfortable was very low and might be a wee bit difficult to climb out of for someone with restricted mobility. I would certainly stay here again.
