This small apartment with a narrow but usable balcony is so conveniently located for exploring Porto. It is a 20 minute walk to the Ribeira (the heavily touristed area by the river), 10-15 minute walks to many must see sites, and 10 minutes to a Metro/subway station. The apartment is quiet, although it opens onto a wooded courtyard with roosters who can unexpectedly become alarm clocks. A small and basic kitchen allows you to cook, but bring in all the supplies you need from a nearby market. Best of the apartment is Luís. Warm, informative, engaging. He introduces you to Porto complete with a digital map he has created, allowing you to easily explore restaurants, stores to meet every interest, historic and contemporary sights to explore. He is readily available for guidance about where to eat, what to see--going over and beyond being a responsive host to a tour guide! Gladly recommend this place for an individual or a couple.
