My stay at Pedro's place was pleasant. The thing I like, which is also in the title, is that it is indeed only 5 minutes away from the river and so the city centre. Also very close to metro connection. Pedro was very helpful; he picked me up at the metro stop and gave me some useful tips. He wasn't home that much but we still managed to have a chat, which I think is always nice! The place itself is very basic, don't expect too much from it. The room was tidy, the bathroom as well. The kitchen was not ready for use, but maybe that was only this once. In any case, if you're looking for an affordable, basic stay close to Porto's city centre, go ahead and book it :)
