We both agreed that if we lived in Porto, we would happily live in this flat as our permanent home. Its a great apartment, well laid out, comfortable and spacious, with excellent amenities and a great view. Its close to walk to the center of Porto and around 20-30 minutes to the river. Just over the road are Pingo Doce and Continente, with a Lidl a few minutes walk away. So its easy to shop and cater for yourself, as well as eating out. It was much appreciated that the host accommodated our request for an early check in but of course this will depend on whether there were guests the previous day or not. The lady who did the check in had some good recommendations for local restaurants and tips for sightseeing. All in all a very good choice!
