Our stay in Porto was outstanding, in large part thanks to this wonderful apartment and José's hospitality.
First, José. We booked this apartment the night before we were driving into Porto. He was very communicative and responsive, and met us at the door. He also provided a lot of magazines for things to do around Porto. Due to a flight change, we had to leave a day early, and José was very flexible and amenable to the change.
Second, the apartment. It's centrally located in the old town, within walking distance from a metro, a number of restaurants and bars -- the street itself has some great petiscos and artisanal beer -- and a super market. You can walk down to the river, and you're just 5 min from the popular bookstore that helped inspire Harry Potter. Inside, there is everything you could need. José has really thought about the tourist's experience, and provided a full kitchen with great appliances. I highly recommend staying at José's!
