My sister and I had the most wonderful stay at Cristina's lovely apartment for a weekend in Porto. Cristina was so helpful and accommodating and was there to greet us even though we arrived in the city very late. Nothing was too much trouble for her.
The view from the terrace was spectacular and the location was so central - made it really easy for us to get to key points of interest really quickly. The apartment itself was so clean and ideal for our weekend.
Cristina also was on hand to offer up cool local tips for where to eat and where to go, which was wonderful. We happened to be visiting Porto during one of the city's biggest festivities - St. John - and she told us what to expect in regards to the celebrations in the city. We were lucky to visit at such an amazing time!
Also, considering that Saturday night the entire city stayed awake celebrating, the apartment backs onto a very quiet area so we didn't hear much of it and were able to get a good night's sleep (which many other locals had told us we couldn't expect that night!). It was lovely coming back to the apartment and watching the fireworks and lanterns in the sky - really magical! We will definitely be back!
