The neighbourhood couldn’t have been better – right in the heart of Porto: up the hill to the shopping district, and down the hill to the river (there are lots of hills in Porto - and quite a steep climb to the apartment). The metro was just a few metres away, and so was the cathedral and the historic centre – as the stunning views from the balcony show. The apartment was very tastefully decorated in a beautifully restored building. The host had thought of everything, literally, with coffee pods for the morning, a glass of port for the evening! Fast reliable internet, a cupboard packed full of useful information that any tourist would need. The bed was a pull-down, but very comfortable, and the tinted mirror next to it was interesting :)
