My River Place is a really nice apartment in a breaktaking location and close to all of the local amenities. Pedro's communication was excellent and timely. He provided some really useful information after booking and arranged for us to be met at the airport and driven straight to the apartment. Similarly Pedro checked in on us mid stay and was there promptly for an early drive back to the airport. He is a very amiable and conscientious host.
The accommodation is down a few flights of stairs, which was not an issue for us however is worth noting if you have mobility issues. It is spacious and Pedro had left us some coffee and some port to try, which was a nice touch. He also left some useful tips for local restaurants and places to visit.
Despite the weather being poor for a lot of our visit Porto made a real impression on us. Of course there were a lot of tourists, even in February, however it felt a lot more like a real city whereby the day to day life went on around the tourism rather than being dependent upon it.
I've travelled extensively in Europe and usually find people to be very friendly. My experience of Porto however was of being the friendliest place that I've been to, with people happy to chat and without ever feeling hurried or that something was there to be sold.
Porto has some stunning sights (especially from the top of the Dom Luis 1 bridge) and some old cobbled streets full of atmosphere.
I'd have visited ages ago if I'd have known how nice Porto is - we'll definitely be heading back at some point.
Thanks very much Pedro, and best wishes
