Fernando's Casa do Sol apartment is perfect for exploring Porto. My son and I really loved the location overlooking the Douro River. We did a lot of walking around Porto and in the Ribera. The funicular takes you up from the lower level along the river to very near the apartment. The apartment was perfect for us and the sofa bed in the living room was very comfortable for my son. Everything was spotlessly clean and the soft sheets made sleeping so comfortable. The fluffy white towels were the best ever!Fernando left a basket of croissants and rolls with jelly, butter and milk in the refrigerator for our delicious breakfasts and we really appreciated it. He responded promptly to my texts and answered my many questions. We had a rental car and Fernando waited for us at the garage to show us the great parking as well as the apartment. He really is a super host and takes such pride in the beautiful city of Porto. We took a day trip driving in the Douro Valley with some great recommendations from Fernando about what cities to visit. Porto is a very special and beautiful city and we were sorry that we were only spending 4 days. We would love to stay in Casa do Sol in the future.
