Bruno is an excellent host - the accommodation is very recently refurbished and spotlessly clean. The bedrooms are each off of a (steep) wooden staircase that leads down to a shared kitchen with washing machine and all the usual kitchen paraphernalia. A secure back door leads out to a yard and balcony overlooking the Douro river, Ponte de D. Luis and, of course, a perfect view of Porto old town on the other side of the river. It's truly a perfect setting and really well located to explore Porto. Added to this, on arrival Bruno met us and provided an absolutely brilliant run-down of the best places to visit and things to do while in the city. We managed to tick off many of his recommendations and every one of them proved well worth doing/visiting. The room/house is very close to the port wine cellars, so it's great for tours and tastings - the one we chose included a fun Fado evening at the Calem cellar (another Bruno recommendation). The house is on a steep hill (all of Porto is hilly, to be fair!), but a very short walk takes you to the top/pedestrian level of the D. Luis bridge, taking a few minutes to walk across (with stunning views along the river) right into the centre of the city.
