The hammock in the bedroom very inviting. The Port and plate of cookies, welcoming upon arrival. Sitting on the little balcony, conveniently a step off the kitchen, hearing the sounds of the neighborhood, made me feel a part of spirit of Porto. The wide hallway wooden staircase, I enjoyed the walk up and down. Stepping out the large green entry door, immediately I was immersed with the life of the city. Almost next door, a tapas music bar, good food. Across the street in a small interesting shop, I got a nice chilled glass of sangria, 1 euro! My hosts were good about communicating before, during, and after the stay. They wanted to please. During the time there, I was assisted several times, and they were very gracious in doing so. I enjoyed my food, drink, the city, and the apartment.
