We were lucky to have the key to the apartment delivered ay the airport as we arrived, with accurate instructions on how to use the metro and find the apartment. We came in to a local welcome snack and felt right at home. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. Big plus is the large balcony, with both sun and shade through the day. The neighborhood is quiet, local and very authentic to Porto building style. Metro is only few minutes away and if you want, not a long walk to both city center and the river.
