Cristina is a lovely host and couldn't have been more helpful. She provided us with a very warm welcome when we arrived and a wealth of information about Porto. When we had a couple of questions during our stay she responded very quickly. The apartment itself is very well located, away from the immediate bustle of the centre but only a short walk away from it. There is a wide choice of restaurants, cafés and bars all within easy reach. There are also buses, and a tram, which stop right outside the square in front of the apartment so you have plenty of options to travel further afield without needing a car. The Metro has a stop about 15 minutes walk away (which is one way to get to and from the airport) and Porto now also had Uber. The views from the apartment are across the river and provide a charming extra dimension. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to mix eating at home with eating out. The only word of caution is about the stairs which are steep - the apartment is on the third floor. But you will build up your muscles walking up and down the hills of Porto so they become less of a challenge after the first couple of days.
