Highly recommend this place for anyone! Catarina was such a great host, taking the time to show us the apartment and sitting down with us to explain and suggest all of the sites/food in Porto. She even drew out a descriptive map and offered to make reservations at restaurants for us. The place is a apartment above a cafe that is open until midnight, which is great, and it is such a lovely place that you don't even mind that it's not a private home. The living room, kitchen, and bathrooms are clean and well-equipped. My friend and I had no problem sharing those common areas with other guests when we were relaxing, eating, or getting ready in the bathroom. It's a short walk from the metro and bus system which connects to everything, and there is a grocery store nearby. The area is safe to walk back home at night from more of the touristy part of Porto. All in all, loved our stay and highly recommend to everyone, whether friends or family.
