Had a superb time in Porto and this apartment really did tick all the boxes for us. We had read the reviews about the view and great location, but honestly, it really is about as good as it gets for a perfect place to stay in Porto! From sunrise to sunset, the views from the balcony are superb; the Cathedral dominates the skyline and looking across at all the familiar names on the Port cellars of Gaia is really cool. Sau Bento train and metro stations are minutes away, as are tram stops, the funicular railway down to the Cais de Ribeira and the Don Luis I bridge. The apartment building has a quaint little elevator which was ace for getting up to the top floor after tromping up and down the hills of Porto each day. There is a really neat wee shop downstairs where you can get great cheese, ham and wine and a slightly larger mini market just a couple of doors up the street-both open till late and a bakery round the corner. It only took minutes to go down to the Rua de Flores where there are lots of restaurants, but we also took Francisco's suggestions for the famous Francesinha experience as well as some other local delicacies.
We adored this chilled out, friendly city and definitely would stay at Hug again! Thanks Francisco :-)
