You can't get a much better location or value than Joao's place in Porto. It was near everything! Right in old Porto, a block to riverfront, near shops and dining and walkable to most places you'd want to go. Bus stop to beaches just a 5 minute walk too. Joao was a great host, the apartment was very clean, bed very comfortable and water pressure and hot water perfect. Kitchen was equipped with coffee maker and other basics. Food great in Porto as is coffee and wine of course. People are lovely and vast majority speak English. We would return in a heartbeat!
