Really interesting location- 5 minutes from Pingu doce supermarket, local park and Combatientes metro which is easy to use, clean,cheap and efficient. Within 30 minutes walking distance of city centre and port side though all downhill into town and too much to walk back. Take the metro. Car not necessary. City and house not suitable for disabled. Host will go out of her way to help and is very generous. Consider river cruise along Douro to Pinhao. A great way to see a fascinating city with very friendly people. Metro from house to airport took 30 minutes and cost 2 euros. Set lunch in local Portuguese restaurant cost 7 Euros each for soup, main, dessert coffee wine bread and water. We gave 10 each! Enjoy a great break in Porto with the lovely Vania as host.
