Raul was excellent in communication both before and during our stay. He gave us suggestions for some great local restaurants, and even circled the must-see attractions on a city map which he had thoughtfully provided himself. He also stocked the fridge with some water, fruit juice, and beer, plus some coffee to get us started.
The apartment is lovely, just perfect for two people. And the rooftop and view were a wonderful bonus. We enjoyed a rooftop cocktail each evening before setting out for dinner.
We had a rental car, and on Raul's suggestion, found it very easy to park for free in the same street as the apartment. Porto is a very walk-able city, and Raul's apartment is in a perfect location for exploring. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return to Raul's next time we visit Porto.
