At first we felt the apartment was too far from the centre even though it was overlooking the river below. Then we discovered that we could walk all along above the river into the main hub, the Cathedral and Sao Benho station in 10 minutes. The apartment was well appointed with a full separate kitchen and bathroom and large bed sitting room overlooking the river with French doors onto a narrow balcony and two other large windows, all of which let in the breeze through the many trees outside. Wifi was good. It was a delight to return to the apartment after a pleasurable day exploring Porto and neighbouring towns ( especially Braga and Guimaraes). Hugo was the perfect host, picking us up at the train station and safely delivering us to the airport metro when we left. He repeatedly answered requests for small items and even though he is an opthomologist with a demanding career, he was always available to give advice etc by email or in person. I will certainly recommend Hugo and his apartment to friends who are planning to visit charming Porto.
