Joana is amazing, a one in a million I’d say. She was so helpful before our arrival and when we did arrive she had already thought about what we might need given the time we arrived and travelling with an 18 month old. It was above and beyond and greatly appreciated. Her place was perfect for us and has everything you need, especially with a toddler!
The location is about 20mins walk to Ribeira area (waterfront), there is a metro stop right around the corner which is very easy to use and navigate - no steps which was helpful with a pram. And plenty of buses all easy and you can pay onboard. I caught the metro to Gaia to do the Port houses, took 10 mins and an easy downhill walk to the waterfront. Taxis /Uber all very cheap too.
There is a good Portuguese takeaway place near the apartment too, huge portions, tasty, very convenient.
Porto is lovely 😊
