The apartment is ideally placed in the centre of Ribeira and close to Sao Bento. Walking is the best way to see the city, and being half way up (or down) the hill means you never have too much of a climb to reach the main attractions or return at the end of the day.
The apartment is a good size for a short stay, the living space is ample but the dimensions of the original room mean that the conversion has created a rather cramped shower room and limited space for storing clothing - this could prove restrictive for a couple planning to stay for a week or more.
One lovely touch from our friendly hosts was a bag of fresh roils and local pastries hanging on our door each morning, and coffee was supplied for the filter machine - you can get fresh squeezed orange juice from the local supermarket to complete the perfect breakfast! The apartment has a full-size fridge and a good range of cooking utensils if you do want to self-cater larger meals for two.
To sum up, this is a well-positioned apartment that is ideal for a short visit to Porto.
