We enjoyed our time at Paula's place in Porto. We arrived by Uber from the main train station (3.48 euro). Paula and her husband welcomed us in, gave us a quick tour and some tips on where to visit and where to eat. The private room was clean, well decorated, and comfortable. The bathroom was small but clean and well appointed. The shared living room was just outside the room and was a comfortable place with lots of natural light. The shared kitchen had everything you would need to make a meal if you wanted to.

The location was slightly outside the city center but the main pedestrian street of Santa Catarina was only a 5 minute walk away. Most of Porto is situated on a steep hill with Paula's place near the top of it so you may feel inclined to cab back after a long day of sight seeing. From the waterfront it would be about a 6 euro uber.
