This light-filled apartment is bright and welcoming--and it's very quiet and private for being in the heart of the city. The parking place is huge by European standards, and the location makes it perfect for getting in and out of Porto for day trips. The elevator, which we needed, was fast and helpful. Here, just over the Infante bridge, you're a block from the river and, in the other direction, about a block and a half from a good collection of restaurants (lots of Portuguese, plus and Italian and a Chinese restaurant), a good sized supermarket, a place where an excellent cappuccino is a euro, and a park which is cool and quiet. Joao was entirely helpful and gracious (The Portuguese were remarkably kind at every turn) and went above and beyond to make things just right. I would definitely stay here again.
