We loved our stay at Formosa. The best bit is its location, it's within walking distance to all the sights. But also really near the metro stops if you don't fancy the hills. It is a little secure alley to get to the house with a safe area to relax (especially with kids!). Its a really authentic slice of Porto life. The location down the alley also means it's away from the noise and bustle from a busy street. The kids loved the dog and tortoise :)
The house itself had everything we needed, and enough space for our family to spread out (4 adults, 2 children). Only thing to note for future guests is keeping little kids safe with the large gaps in stair rail is going right to the top (just in case you have a troublesome toddler). Hugos mum was next door and always on hand to help and incredibly friendly. She went beyond the extra mile as we left our tablet in the house and she met us at the airport to get it back to us. Thankyou so much for a wonderful stay.
