Cristina and Joao’s place is absolutely lovely. Clean, well appointed and with a location that cannot be beat. It is steps from Sao Bento Station and metro, which enables easy travel throughout Porto, Gaia and really anywhere in the region. You can easily walk to the Douro river as well.
The front window seats are romantic and very enjoyable for people watching on the busy street below. It’s definitely a very active street, but the soundproof windows make the apartment very, very quiet once they are shut. Check in was easy with Cristina and Joao. They were friendly, communicative and met us on time to give us the key and a basic walk through of the apartment and all it’s amenities. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to visit Porto and the surrounding areas.
