Stayed here for two nights when I arrived to Porto. Was welcomed by Aderito - who was very helpful in providing tips on what to do, where to go and places to eat. His and Lurdes villa is impressive, giving you a sense of how the locals live. The neighborhood is cool - close to may funky bars and restaurants. The apartment itself (granny flat) is very basic and there is no air conditioning, which can be a problem in the summer. There is also limited hot water - so no long showers! The three dogs are big and adorable. They sleep in a pen near the apartment at night. They can be a bit noisy, but generally well-behaved.
