Ana's apatment is absolutely wonderful: large, fully equiped, very clean, sunny, very well located and safe. What else can one ask? It is located close to shops and supermarkets and you can simply walk to the historic centre where numerous public spaces, churches, museums and, of course, Lello's bookstore. If you are coming with a car, there is a public parking in front of the apartment (Silo) where you can buy a 48 hours ticket for 21 euros, or 13 euros for 24 hoours. It is secure and you can go in and out at any time during this period. Please note that if you would like to get this thicket you need first to buy it from the reception on ground floor, otherwise you'll need to pay by hour. If you'd like to visit a special place, go to Guimarães, a town about 30 minutes drive from Oporto. It is the best preserved town we've seen in Portugal and there you can see the medieval castle, the medival chuch of S Miguel and the ducal palace. The old town centre is also beautiful and still keeps part of the stone walls that once encircle the place. There are good restaurants and bars and you'll forget the time enjoying the views.
