We were warmly welcomed by Artur, Helena's husband, great conversationalist in English and Spanish, who gave us fantastic advice about how to enjoy our stay in Porto at its best. The apartment is cosy and well decorated, we had everything we needed during our stay, but honestly we did not cook there, not even for breakfast. The neighbourhood is amazing, we discovered after a few days exploring Porto that it is our preferred one for everything, eating, walking and entertainment. Fantastic bars with great music and cheap but good restaurants all over the place. I would say we would stay back in Helena's apartment if we visited Porto again, and we will ;)
