Paula’s place is in the heart of Porto city. Although is in the city centre, but the house is very quiet. Most of the attractions can be reached on foot. We seldom use public transportation. But we need to walk up a very steep alley before reaching the apartment from sao bento station. No problem for us as we are young and energetic :) And the way to paula’s place is cobble stone road. Please don’t bring luggage. Backpack is perfect. Wear a good pair of comfortable shoes is a must in Porto. Also, you can hear seagulls everyday :)
