Our two-week stay at Josefa’s place was a delight. The check-in was easy, and her friend gave us thoughtful advice about things to do and see in Porto. The bedroom and living room have great light and a cozy vibe. The apartment is well-equipped for cooking, and there are two Pingo Doce grocery stores relatively nearby. The internet was quite speedy, which was helpful because we needed to work remotely during our trip.
The neighborhood is awesome. It's a 5-minute walk from many sights, 10 minutes to the riverfront, 3 minutes to art galleries and shops on Rua Miguel Bombarda, and only 1 minute to about five tasty brunch places. The apartment's location gives you a great sense for many sides of Porto — modern and historic, gritty and upscale, etc.
Finally, Josefa is a fantastic host. She's proactive about making sure you're enjoying the apartment and your stay, which goes a long way. We happened to not need anything, but it was reassuring to know that anything we needed would be taken care of quickly. We’d definitely stay here again.
