This was our 2nd stay in one of Andrea and João's partments. We loved the 1st one, and enjoyed this one even more. The place is wonderfully stylish and comfortable, and maintained to a very high standard. Moreover, Andrea and her husband are warm and welcoming. There is port, and very generous quantities of fruit, biscuits, water and more waiting for guests. The beds are excellent, as are the bedlinen and towels (and plentiful!).
The apartmnt is very quiet, yet has easy access to severla supermarkets, and lots of shops and restaurants.
Last year we included a trip to the Douro reion, sraying in a finca. This year we went jsut for the day to Coimbra, which is stupendous (and very easy to reach from Campanhã station (which can easily be reached by a bus from the bus stop just opposite the apartment, in about 5 mins. The same one also goes straight to to the unmissable Fundaçao Serralves (last year we went theire is a very complicated and time-consuming way, using the metro to Casa Musica- quite unnecessary).
There is SO much to do and see in Porto, well beyond what is described in the standard guides. And the people are so lovely and welcoming- a fantastic place to spend some quality time in
