Location:
Great, not really a need to be on the Porto side. It was nice to walk across the bridge to get to Porto! The city center is small so everything is extremely walkable.
Apartment:
Very big and great value. It did get cold when we were there, and it was nice to have the heaters. Ability to do laundry, stocked with tea and coffee, tons of travelers magazines and reference books.
Host:
Best part of this experience. Miguel greeted us, sat us down, and gave us a detailed review of Porto and our options of things to do. He even helped us plan our metro trip for getting to the airport.
