I had a wonderful stay at Cristina & Paula's apartment for a month. The apartment is warm, welcoming, and equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a well-stocked kitchen which is perfect for cooking enthusiasts like myself. The apartment is also blessed with abundant natural light and a glass, stylish desk that made it easy for me to work from. Despite the ongoing construction in the neighboring building, the apartment remained relatively quiet, with the windows closed.
One of the biggest highlights of staying at the apartment was its proximity to the Douro River. It's just a short walk or a steep road down to the river, and from there you can enjoy a leisurely walk or run along the river for about 4 miles all the way to the ocean, taking in the stunning scenery along the way. If you prefer exploring the city, walking north will take you straight to the heart of Porto's shopping and entertainment centers.
