We loved staying in Joao's place. It's big and airy and the location is just perfect for exploring the city. The whole place has a really chilled out vibe and the balcony is fantastic. It's shady in the afternoons and gets the evening sun. What really made it for us though was the beer garden below. We loved sitting on our balcony and people watching and we even ordered food from the bar and brought it up to the apartment. This was such a treat for us as we have a young daughter so going out in the evenings wasn't really an option. We thoroughly recommend the hamburgers! The bar plays chilled out music and we just loved it. It's also owned by Joao, who in fact owns the whole block. We didn't meet him as he was away but Maja greeted us and was really helpful. She also gave us some recommendations for things to do and places to eat. If we come back to Porto we would stay here again for sure. Thank you!
