We had a wonderful stay at Luis's place in Porto. It is situated in a quiet, non-tourist area outside of the main city but there are excellent tram and bus services into town and tourist areas just a short walk away. Everything we needed was available close-by, and the stylish apartment had all the essentials. We loved being near the sea. The bikes and furnished patio area were great facilities we had planned to use extensively had it not rained (perfect excuse to visit again later in the year). If you love walking, it's worth following the coastline and then the Duoro river into the heart of the city. Caroline and Luis were excellent hosts - welcoming, quick to respond and very helpful.
