Thanks to the world class hospitality of Ruis and Pedro and their team, our first visit to Porto was a wonderful success. The apartment is exactly as advertised in a local neighborhood near the river. An easy uphill walk gets you to a busy and fun local square or plaza with restaurants, cafes and pubs on all sides. A few more minutes and you are in the heart of the downtown. Just a little off the beaten track to feel more local than tourist. We would absolutely stay here again.
