If you are looking for a charming place close to everything, this is the one! There are cafés, bakeries, pubs, and grocery stores with yummy wine and porto all around! A highlight was getting coffee and natas (you must try!) every morning from the local baker just around the corner. You can walk everywhere, including the bridge to cross to Vila Nova de Gaia. The place is not huge but definitely cozy for 2 people. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The AC worked well and there is plenty of light during the day. For those wondering about the bathroom, the shower was big enough for two and there was good pressure and unlimited hot water. While the fabulous Douro river is just a few minutes away, the ocean is a bit further. However, you can easily access it with the metro or a taxi/uber. If you're interested in renting a scooter or vespa, go to 'AlegriaRide Rent a Scooter Porto' (140A Rua da Alegria) nearby. John is fantastic and will set you all up!!! You must try a pork sandwich from 'A Casa Guedes' just a few minutes away from the apartment. This restaurant is known worldwide and was definitely our favourite. Food and drinks are cheap in most places in Porto. You will enjoy yourself!!!
