Every year, me and my friends are traveling to a city in Europe. This year we visited Porto. Since we are eight people, it's hard to find a location where none of us has to compromise. Fernando's appartment was great. With 4 actual bedrooms, there was enough space for all of us. The great dining and living room makes it a very communicative location as well. The patio is great to sit outside and enjoy the mild summernights of portugal. The street and the environment of the house is very quiet. We could sleep with the windows open.
The walking distance to downtown Porto was app. 20min. only the last night, we took a cab and chose not to walk. We couldn't find too many good restaurants in the closer environment of the house. However, we couldn't even find some in Porto either. There are plenty of nice spots to get burgers and drinks and have a good time, though. We enjoyed the portvine wineries in Vila Nova de Gaia, right across the duoro river.
Since we couldn't find decent restaurants, we'd rather cooked in the house. The Kitchen was eleborately designed and equipped. We felt very at ease at all time throughout the weekend. We are highly recommending this place if you want to stay in Porto.
