Claudia's place is a must for Porto!!! I wish I have stayed here for longer but Claudia's place will be my go to place to stay during my next visit. The apartment is just a quick stop walk from Sao Bento station and is tucked away from the busy main streets. There is a small local tavern and convenience store right below the apartment for a quick drink and bite. You are a 30sec walk to the main sightseeing locations
Claudia and Mariana were very responsive before and during my arrival. They provided local recommendations, a big bottle of water, coffee, and a bottle of sparkling wine to kick off my holiday!
The apartment itself is just like the pictures! Its perfect for a solo traveler or for couple but can be a bit tight with more people. There is a pullout couch if necessary. No AC in the apartment but I didn't need it during November. The big windows provided sufficient breeze at night.
Con: no elevator so prepare to hike up and down 4 floors
