We loved staying in Claudia's place in the old part of Porto, steeped in history.
Claudia was a perfect host, there to greet us and after that only if we needed help. The apartment is beautifully renovated and modern with everything in perfect working order. It was also very quiet with only pedestrians passing by. It was great to be in the authentic, old town which is gradually being updated. It is a short, if rather steep walk, to the river front which is lively and fun. The bridge over to the port houses is about 10 minutes walk away. A great place to stay when visiting Porto.
