Loreta was easy to communciate with and helpful, giving us excellent tips for walking and port tours. (Porto walkers and Ramos Pinto). The flat was well equipped and clean, it's not that central but we found the distance easily walkable. The only negative is that there was a construction site next door which was loud in the mornings but this seems commonplace in Porto. Despite this we would definitely recommend Loreta's place as a good base to explore the wonderful city of Porto from!
