We absolutely loved Joseph's apartment, which has obviously been recently renovated. Well appointed, lots of space, beautifully and originally decorated and in a lovely traditional building. There are big walkout doors from the lounge onto a balcony with stunning views across to Porto. Even better are the views from the unique 'tower' bedroom at the top of the apartment! We found it a great location on a quite residential street, 10 minutes walk down the hill to the Gaia waterfront with some great bars and restaurants (Casa Adao was a favourite) and all the port lodges. It's also really close to the World of Wine with all the new attractions and restaurants there. For groceries we used the excellent big Lidl supermarket just 5 minutes walk away. We also found transport links to be very easy - a 10 minute or so walk to General Metro station with rapid links to the rest of Porto and airport etc, and 15 minutes to the Dom Luis bridge and the walk across to the centre of Porto . We didn't have a car but there is plenty of street parking if you needed it.
Thank you Joseph, it's a fabulous place to stay and we will be back!
