Cristina’s apartment is so ideal for a short stay in Porto, it is in a very central but yet secluded location just off the main promenade. I would recommend this apartment for anyone who wants to be able to view the sights of Porto. The apartment is on the 3rd floor without a lift however if you are coming to Portugal prepare yourselves for uphill climbs because that is what Portugal is all about. This apartment is clean, well thought out and comfortable with a few added personal touches by the very thoughtful and helpful owner. Cristina was punctual in answering my questions and also in meeting us at the appointed time, she gave us a map with helpful tips and made us feel very welcome. If you are driving and have a hire car there is a place outside her apartment which is free and usually available, it does not belong to her but it’s good to know you can easily find one in a city, if not park in a car park opposite the main road one street away.
