Manuel and Teresa were very welcoming hosts. Manuel goes out of his way to give you information about Porto, which he obviously loves. The location is good, across the river from Porto center, with a great 10th floor view. The apartment is located in a newer building directly behind -and attached to - the Holiday Inn in Vila Nova da Gaia, the name of the close-in suburb you'll be staying in. Bus and metro service nearby along with a busy neighborhood shopping area 200 meters away.
