One could not ask for a better location than Joao/Christina’s on the banks of the Douro River. The old and somewhat tired exterior of the century’s old stone building belies the general comfort of the interior. Their apartment is a classic two floor walk up found throughout Europe but what makes is very special is it’s proximity to the heart of old town Porto and it’s environs. If you are into sampling port, dining casually or haut cuisine, visiting the Mercado, taking a river cruise, listening to Fado, shopping for new clothes, or trying ONE MORE Pastel de Nata, then this IS the place to stay.
