We enjoyed staying in José’s appartment, its really spacious (we stayed with 2 people) and comfortable. The location is perfect, on walking distance from the old town / centre but also located close to a square with many nice bars and restaurants, the Pont Luis bridge and areas like Fontainhas and Bonfim. The closeby metro takes you to the westside of the city to see Serralves museum, Foz or beaches further north. We also explored the southern beaches by bike which are beautiful, a stop for lunch in the old fisher town Afurada is recommended. On the corner of the street of this appartment is the great little restaurant Aquele Tasco, always busy but worth trying yr luck at getting a table! José welcomed us personally and didn’t mind us arriving late in the evening due to a flight delay. He explained everything about the house and gave nice tips about the city. Beforehand and during the stay he was easy to reach and always very helpful. The house has everything you need. The street is busy with traffic so we did not use the small balcony. For those who prefer fresh air over airco should expect quite some city noise, but with windows closed its no problem. I’d definitely come back here when visiting porto again.
