This lovely studio apartment was in a FABULOUS location! And Sonia and Pedro were so welcoming. Pedro sat down with us upon arrival with a Porto map and pointed out many great things to do on our stay if we chose. They even brought us a second set of keys when we accidentally locked ourselves out on day 3 and were really nice about it. They checked in on us mid week to see if we needed anything and to say good bye. Really nice couple!
The apartment was a short walk downhill to the river and another short walk across the D. Luis bridge to where all the Port wineries are. We walked over there three times in one week! The location is home to many regular and talented street performers. We arrived to the sound of classical cello music. There are a TON of restaurants in the area ranging from typical Portuguese cuisine to more upscale fusion cuisine.
If you're coming to cook, this might not be the apartment for you, though the induction burner was MAGIC. Water boiled in under a minute. That is however the only burner and no oven. The fridge is dorm size. It was perfect for what we needed.
Grocery store was only a 5 minute walk as was Santini ice cream shop. Train station is less than 10 minutes away at the top of the street. From there you can get to many locations in Portugal. We spent a day in Braga. The taxi stand is only a block away. The location is just perfect for doing so many things in Porto.
Overall we would highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay again on another trip to Porto.
