We had a great stay at Manor House- Alec was there to great us at check in and show us the apartment as well as go over a map of the area for us. Definitely take his directions to not use Google Maps to find the street- it doesn't work :) Use his directions and it's quite easy to find. The apartment itself is really cool- we loved how spacious it is, we were three solo travelers and it was incredible to have our own spacious bedrooms- each with a beautiful view of the river! We joked that we felt like nobility! The garden is quaint- we never saw the other guests and enjoyed our wine and breakfasts out there a few times. It's a great location- but beware if you want to go to the river using the steps it's 240 steps, not so bad getting down but not so easy getting back up! There are alternative ways to get to the water though-so don't fret! Alec was attentive and responsive to any questions we had, if we come back to Porto we would absolutely rent this apartment again.
