Right from the first picture of the apartment you get the sense that someone who's apt at interior architecture and design has been at work here. The whole house has been remodeled by Nuno&Telma to become really something of a marvelous combination of traditional exterior and thoroughly modern and beautifully designed interior.
The place is simply great - just like the location was excellent for us: it's a lovely ~ 12 minute walk through a very interesting and quite vibrant neighborhood to get to the central places. Luckily, it seems to be a part of Porto that still feels largely devoid of large chains and uniform stores - it really feels like a truly local experience to live here.
Finally and most importantly to feel at home: Nuno&Telma are extremely warm, welcoming, and helpful hosts. They provided us with a heartfelt welcome, many great recommendations to explore the city, and were always available at a moment's notice. It really was like meeting new friends who were kind enough to let us stay in their place for a few days and explore their town. 10 out of 10, would stay again - thanks, guys! :)
