When we arrived we were greeted by Jose and shown round the accommodation, he gave us a map of the city and some good tips on where to visit.
The accommodation is very modern and homely and is in an ideal place. It was a 5 minute walk into the main town of Porto. There is a supermarket across the road that was very reasonable and had all the basics you may need. There is also a cafe bar on the corner where the guys who work there are extremely friendly and make you feel welcome. The Viggagio restaurant is definately with a visit and is a 2 minute walk from the accommodation, they offer pizzas and pasta and the food is fabulous.
Porto itself is a beautiful place, very hilly but lots of bars on route. The Livraria Lello Bookshop is a must. It costs just €5 to get in but this is taken off the cost of a book purchase. We also did the cable car ride by the river, again a must as it's lovely to see the views. The rover cruise is also a great ride at just €14 for about 55 minutes going under the 5 bridges it was great. Make sure you take comfy shoes if you want to get the most out of the city.
Jose recommended a trip to Aveiro (little venice) went on the train and it is a lovely place to visit.
All in all wehad a fabulous time and hope one day to return. Thank you Jose for your recommendations and your lovely accommodation. Highly recommended
