A wonderful location. Easy to get to from the closest Metro station, and easy to walk to almost anywhere you'll want to visit. If, like me, you're a more adventurous walker, you'll find you can get to a port lodge across the river in 45 minutes or so, and to the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art in perhaps 50 minutes. The room is charming, but small. It's quiet, and there's a lemon tree five yards from the door. There are chickens--caged chickens--as well as dogs in the back garden. I met Lurdes only as I left, but Aderito, as so many people have said, was extraordinarily helpful. I loved Porto, and would happily stay on Rue Alvares Cabral again.
