I can't recommend Casa Formosa enough. I visited with 6 other friends my for 40th birthday and the apartment was perfect for us, with everything and more to make us feel in a home from home in Porto.

All the bedrooms are a great size, with very comfortable beds, clean bedding and towels. Plus there are nice little vintage pieces of furniture and features throughout the apartment. Great communal areas, including the terrace which is a nice sun-trap in the early part of the day and a nice dining room/lounge area for the evenings, complete with board games and record player with a great little vinyl collection, which we really enjoyed.

João was a very welcoming, accommodating and helpful host, giving us tips about our stay in Porto and doing what he could to make our stay as easy and pleasant as possible.

Casa Formosa is in a great central location, well located for most things you would want to do in the City and other than a restaurant on the outskirts of town and the airport, we walked everywhere we needed to go.
