If you are looking for a historic, comfortable, and well-positioned place to stay while in Porto, I can not recommend this place highly enough. The location is within easy walking distance of most major attractions and neighborhoods in the city, but removed enough that you can easily have your privacy and some down time when you need it. João is also an excellent host, and made sure to show us the house when we checked in. He also was very responsive to messages whenever I had any questions. The home itself is very unique, and the whole group loved the historic feel of the home. The central staircase in particular was beautiful. All in all, if you are in a slightly larger group I would highly suggest staying here.
