We loved our stay at Filomena and Ana 's . It's was a lovely time with our adult family. In a quiet area, close to a parking station as well as a metro station it was easy to to move around the city and give taxi drivers a destination to get home. ....... Metro Trandade and then a few minutes walk. The apartment was very easy and comfortable. The beds very good. You wake up in the morning without a Bach ache. : )
Our host was very attentive , helpful and thoughtful as well as being unintrusive. They were helpful and supplied lots of information which made our stay a success. We fell in love with Porto all over again.
We stayed off the main tourist routes and managed to find all the back streets. Days of walking and finding those little hidden nooks and crannies away from the tourist tracks. Private hide always for sunset drinks on patios over the Douro.
The Portuguese people are big hearted and generous in spirit. It was the same 13 years ago and it hasn't changed.
