We lucked out on this stay. We had booked a place on the other side of the same street which was cancelled on us, so had to look for another place and found Manuel's -- which was perfect for us, better (and less expensive) than the one we had originally booked. The location is GREAT, the view from the balconies and huge windows fantastic, and the interior old but very well maintained. The only negative to be aware of is that there are a LOT of stairs to get to the 4th floor apartment, on top of Porto being a very hilly town to get around. But if you're in shape (or looking to get in shape), the upsides of Manuel's place can't be beat!
