Beautiful flat in a fantastic location. We stayed with friends and 3 small kids and enjoyed it a lot. Huge space, everything we needed was there, we all had a great time. View out of the windows on to the beach, sunset and the passing ships was out of this world. The place is also remarkably quiet. Neighbourhood has some nice places to eat and supermarkets are a couple of minutes of walk.
Matosinhos is a short cab ride to Porto centre, but you can also walk - it’s about 1.5 hours but it is ocean-side promenade or old city embankment all the way, so well worth it. We were happy we stayed in Matosinhos, not in Porto - you still get to see everything but you have a lot more space and the beach is right in front of you. Plus you have an underground parking for two cars! Jose was great, he met us on arrival, helped us with our luggage, and was available at any point if we needed anything.
My only regret was we didn’t bring our running gear for a run along the water.
Porto is a beautiful city, we’ll be back and we’ll stay here again if available.
