This place is fantastic! There isn't a view of Porto better than the one you will have sitting in the massive garden that is included in this very spacious 2 bedroom apartment (tons of windows, high ceilings, and beautiful floors). We were only two people, but the place easily fits 4 (and 6 if you use the couch bed). Another great thing about this place is that it is located very close to all of the sights of Porto (literally 5-10 minutes walk from anything you want) but tucked away in a more local neighborhood so that you really get a feel for the local vibe, not just Ribeira or Rua das Flores...
While the apartment was really great, the hospitality of Maria and Fred was what really made our trip. Gracious with their time and knowledge, they gave us great tips about where to go and how to get there, as well as made dinner reservations for us, and even helped us search for a property to buy. I think Fred spent about 8 hours with us if you added up all the help and guidance he gave us!
In short, if you want a beautiful place with unsurpassed hospitality, this is your spot. We will DEFINITELY be back
