João's place in Porto was an excellent base from which to explore the city. The view from the apartment is spectacular! We were able to park the car in underground parking at the apartment and leave it there. We walked to the wine estates on the south side of the river and even walked over the bridge to the north side. If you choose not to walk as much, an Uber or taxi will get you where you want to be cheaply and quickly.
The apartment is a lovely, bright and modern. It is across from the Arrabidas shopping mall where you can get groceries or anything else you might need.
João is an excellent host who goes out of his way to provide a great experience for his guests. He is always available and responds promptly to any questions you may have.
