Helena and Eduardo’s place is lovely. Spacious and centrally located, it’s just a short walk to most attractions in Porto city center. There is a laundromat one block away and a supermarket around the corner with several cafés in the neighborhood. Even so, the apartment was quiet and because it’s on the ground floor, we didn’t have to deal with stairs and heavy luggage. There is a public parking garage down the street but we got lucky and found parking just outside.
The apartment is more spacious than pictured and was very clean.
Eduardo greeted us with keys, city map and a good orientation to the apartment as well as the city. He gave us great recommendations for local, authentic dining which we appreciated.
We had a small problem with the water heater which would normally drop my rating a bit but these things can happen. What’s most important is how quickly and kindly Eduardo and Helena responded and were able to correct the issue (immediately). They even left us chocolates with a thoughtful note of apology!
The apartment was well appointed and out hosts were wonderful. We would stay here again when in Porto.
