The House with a View is a lovely apartment very well situated in Porto. We found it quite comfortable for our three-week stay. The place itself is clean and airy, with a wonderful view of the Douro and Nova de Gaia, a comfortable balcony, and a large and beautiful garden accessible from the ground floor. The apartment is in a great location to walk to the riverfront, the marvelous Mercado do Bolhao, Sao Bento station, and the quirky and beautiful Livraria Lello. There are plenty of restaurants, groceries, pharmacies, and shops within an easy walk as well. Fred and Maria are excellent hosts. Fred met us upon our arrival and showed us around the apartment and building, making us feel very welcome. He also was very responsive when we requested a few household items. We would definitely come back to this great apartment!
