Fantastic, in fact it couldn't be better, location, nestled on the hillside between the town and the water, and that view is really the best you'll get in Porto.

Claudia was a dream of enthusiasm and information - her tips were invaluable, restaurant recommendations spot on and her airport to home transfer so delightful.

Maybe providing tea- & coffee-making facilities, but no actual tea or coffee, was a bit odd. On the plus side, it meant we got out of the flat and into the cafés that much earlier.

Incense was provided, which was great, as there was a persistent not so great whiffy smell from the ancient plumbing.

Very comfortable flat overall. Living in a piece of history. The walls are beautiful and hewn and fabulous. As others have noted, this apartment is definitely better for shorter people. We are both over 183cm, which made it quite awkward to get around inside. We escaped to the garden!
