The communication by Pedro and his sister, the personal welcome, even though we were a late evening check in, and orientation and helpful advise offered by Pedro and the central location of this sunny, classic maritime themed apartment made our stay. His suggestions about the markets which are right nearby, the all important, famed local bakery, which is a must do, plus pro and cons about other neighbourhoods, proved spot on. This upper floor apartment has a lift, great if you have heavy luggage, the colors and decor are a contrast to the pretty lively traffic noise and sounds from the street below which can be heard at varying intensities throughout the night and day. We loved Porto and our stay here.
