We arrived at the apartment to be greeted by two wonderful people, Marcelo and Marcelo Jnr. They made us instantly welcome, provided a mine of information about Porto and even recommended somewhere to eat at our late arrival time.

When you enter the main living room and look out of the window it is exactly as shown in the photos. The views of Ribeira are breathtaking and I spent an awful lot of the next few days just looking across the river.

The apartment is spotlessly clean and looks very modern. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom facilities are excellent.

Marcelo even left us a decanter of Port and some denatas which were not just welcome, they were both top quality.

The hosts are so helpful, nothing is too much trouble and they made our stay an absolute dream. We think Porto is probably our favourite city now and every time we come back, we would love to stay here.

Thank you once again Marcelo, Ana and Marcelo Jnr for everything, our break was just perfect.
