During my two days of getting to know Oporto, which is a lovely city, I stayed in Maria João’s flat, in a bedroom with a bathroom en suite. Everything was clean and tidy. Although the flat is not in the city centre, it is easy to get there: either walk a couple of streets away to a newsagent’s where you can buy a ticket, then take one of the frequent buses from the stop opposite, which will get you to the centre is less than fifteen minutes; or walk to the nearest metro station, about ten minutes away. There are grocer's shops, cafes, and restaurants in the area around the flat. And lastly, and most importantly, Maria João is a kind host who made me feel welcome. Recommended.
