Eduardo and Elisabete's fourth floor (with a lift) apartment is perfectly positioned in central Porto for visiting all the sights,most of which can be reached on foot. They kindly provided us with a map marking out the "must sees" and recommended local restaurants. We were also welcomed with a delicious cake, made by Elisabete, and a decanter of port.
The apartment is very well-equipped for self-catering with the thoughtful supply of oil, sugar, tea and coffee. There is even a dishwasher and washing machine.
The bed was very comfortable, the shower perfect with plenty of towels, and everything spotlessly clean.
It was quiet at night with the help of efficient double-glazing, and wall heaters should it get chilly.
Porto itself is a picturesque and friendly city with loads of things to do and see. Sadly our fun time there was cut short when I fell off a bike that we had hired for the day ( beware the extremely slippy sea wall path at Foz!), broke my hip and spent the next 6 days in hospital. Eduardo and Elisabete were kindness itself, visiting me in A and E, extending our stay and insisting on bring me back to the flat in their own car.
Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!
