João was a great and caring host! If you love the ocean, the beautiful sunsets, walking on the sandy beach, and watching the beautiful seagulls fly close to your apt. (which I do), then you will love staying here! It's a great break from the busy Porto (or Lisbon) downtown area. You can take different buses or use Uber, which was quick and cheap. You can also ride the metro. If you don't mind walking about 20 minutes, you can take the metro or the 500 bus (which is scenic). If you'd rather catch the bus outside his apt, then it's 507. João will give you all the info you need! There are lots of great restaurants & eateries to choose from, but if you want authentic experience with no English menus (use Google translator) and very cheap but delicious meals, try Restaurante Mar Vivo (leça Da Palmeira) on R. Hintze Ribeiro St. (we had grilled sardines and mackerel).
