The place is super well located. And Maria ( Jorge’s wife who greeted us ) was super kind and helped us arrange next day’s sightseeing in a breeze. We loved the easy proximity to the center of Porto just a scenic water-taxi and antique tram ride away paired with the ease of staying in a traditional fishing village. Best of both world‘s really! The beach with its sunset is just an easy 3km walk or run along the river and through a gorgeous protected nature reserve away. The best seafood restaurants are in the fishing village and one of the best just next to the place. Location couldn’t be better! If you go, we would suggest spending half a day around the fishing village- we thoroughly enjoyed it!
The apartment itself did, however, not work so well for us. With tricky stairs, one 2 year old and three adults (one of which had to work one day) the place felt somewhat too busy. It has no real doors (only those harmonica ones) and has a window from the bathroom into the bedroom (above head height) - still the light is very bright in the bedroom. Also, it is next to a main road and the cars sound surprisingly loud indoors. Would I recommend it? Yes! If you are a small group and only need a well situated base.
