Jose's apartment is comfortable and we found it immaculately clean. It is next to a huge mall and a metro station. It is 15 minutes away (by car) from the city center. It was a nice base of operations to get to know the Oporto area by car with my family. The parking lot is in the basement but access is a little cumbersome. Although it is in the outskirts of Oporto (it is actually a different town, Rio Pinto), the area where it is located seems quite safe.
