The Apartment
The Apartment of Telmo was newly renovated in very stylish way with a lot of attention to detail. From furniture to bathrooms, kitchen and all the lamps and decoration the whole concept was very well thought through and good looking and functional. The Apartment has three bedrooms so there is a lot of space. The fully equipped modern kitchen has all pans, pots and all required cutlery. Further more there is a dish washer and washing machine which comes in handy.
The Location
The apartment is across the road from a good supermarket. To the cablecar, metro station and the famous bridge in porto it is a 2 minute walk down the road.
Views
The views from the apartments small balcony is very stunning and unexpected when u enter the building from the street side. There is an amazing view of the Vila Nova de Gaia side of the river and its wineries as the apartment is on top of a hill and higher than the buildings in front. My daughter always said we are in the sky with the birds.
The Host
Telmo was a very welcoming host and promptly answered any questions we had. He is always up for chat and more than happy to answer your questions. It comes in handy that he lives in the same building. We want to thank Telmo for hosting us and had an excellent stay in his apartment. He did an excellent job creating this little oasis.
Improvements
The only negative thing I can think of was that the mattresses were really hard and I am usually prefer hard matresses.
Porto
Porto is a lovely city and has a lot to offer. There are a lot of good restaurants and little hipster corners in the city. You also find some old historical but very run down buildings surprisingly in prime locations but that somehow adds to charm.
