I could not have asked for a better location. It is close to the train station, a very short distance to the main shopping area, a few doors down from a great cafe that serves great breakfasts, clean and comfortable with a pleasant decor. I really didn't need much help other than Ana's dad meeting me to help me up the stairs with my luggage and down when I left. I have a problem with one of my legs. I spent two weeks in Porto which allowed me to really get a feel for the city and now I am a huge fan.
