José and his wife were very welcoming and eager to please, offering rides, food, drink, and advice on Porto. The apartment was well furnished -- a bit dark and chilly at first, but with the blinds fully open and the extra heaters José brought I was warm enough. It's in a quiet location but not far from the metro station and an easy walk from the center. The washer had some problems and I ended up not using it. I only had access to (and only needed) one bedroom but I think this place would be a great value for a family.
