João’s place was wonderful.
Very close to the center and a 5 min walk to Santa Catarina, a street filled with cafes, restaurants and shops. I recommend the wine bar Saboriccia for a glass of wine and small bites. The owner is so welcoming my boyfriend and I kept going back for the next 3 days during our stay in Porto. João spent time with us during our check in to answer all of our questions and to tell us about the main sites to see and best places to eat. We tried Abadia for traditional Portuguese food (10 min walk from the apartment) and Cantina 32 (trendy spot). Both were phenomenal. I would definitely recommend staying here for the hospitality, location and amenities. We did not get to hang out in the garden patio, but it looked very nice.
Thank you João!
