Seeing the iconic Ponte de Dom Luis 1 from the apartment window was just a bit special! The apartment is well situated, being close to Porto's main attractions but also slightly away from where the crowds hang out. You just walk down the road to find them if you want. Or you go next door but one, where there is a really nice Tapas bar and chill!
Our flight was very late so we were not actually met by Marisa. But this was no problem as she emailed me with access details for the flat. Marisa also informed the airport transfer taxi service we had booked, through her, of our three hour flight delay. Communication was very good and it was very nice to meet Marisa the next morning.
We didn't actually do any cooking at the flat. There is a hob, a kettle, a filter coffee maker and a fridge but it's not really geared for major culinary activity! Walk through the tunnel to find a tiny Spa grocery on your right for basic provisions.
We did not hire a car.Parking would be difficult, if not impossible, outside the apartment. We caught the tram and the train and did a lot of walking!
Our party, of four adults, would happily return to this particular flat should we stay in Porto again in the future.
