Sara’s place is a bit out of the way if you are in Porto to taste Port. If you want to explore Porto, it’s ideal. Use Uber to get to Vila Nova de Gaiaand back and you’ll have no problems. It’s cheap and convenient.
Sara is very responsive and helpful in helping navigate the area. She also has access to the yellow bus that takes you to the top sites to see (off and on bus) which can include a discounted river cruise.
The House was very clean, and quiet at night after you’ve been out exploring all day. You’re in a security building with free access to a couple of bicycles if you want to go for a ride. There is a bakery right next door, and a large grocery right around the corner. We would definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Porto...and we’re definitely coming back. Very nice, friendly people and English is widely spoken. Portugal is beautiful, and Porto definitely deserves more time to explore than the weekend we had. Will definitely return with more time.
