The room is large and comfortable, and the bed is good. The walking distance to the city is about 30 minutes, to the metro ten minutes. When you know that beforehand it is
fine. Manuel tends to exaggerate a bit however, in his description of the room. The beautiful view of the river and the Atlantic (in the far distance) is from his private living room (where we did get to look out once), NOT from the room, the "low-cost breakfast" corresponds to the price, nothing more (the "homemade jams" were one little pot of jam, and the "excellent cooking" was restricted to a bit of scrambled eggs). But of course it is comfortable to be able to eat in the accomodation, it saves time, and there were no nice cafes in the area. The breakfast was not spectacular or particularly ample, but satisfactory (simple soft white bread, sliced cheese, boiled ham, jam, scrambled eggs, sliced Apple and orange, juice, coffee). We got our croissants and pastries elsewhere. Despite his announcement, Manuel was not there in the morning to give us tips on Porto . There was actually no contact after checking in (we stayed for two days), not even as we wanted to book an extra night for our son, which was disappointing.
