Thanks so much to João and Graciete for your hospitality. The apartment is in a great location, close to lots of the best Porto has to offer. In reference to other reviews we’ve read about underprivileged people congregating across the street, I would say that the groups are gathering as recipients of the grace and charity provided by the centuries’ old church adjacent to the apartment in the evenings. Anyone who has said anything negative about any of the people gathering at the church for a meal, I would say they have not examined the role the church serves in the the community and the beautiful displays of faith to be witnessed during Sunday services. If God is love, then He lives right across the street. I highly recommend staying here.
