A lovely, well equipped apartment with very comfortable beds. Sadly, we couldn’t use the pretty garden because of the weather. On arrival we received a warm welcome from Gabriela who gave us a thorough and very helpful introduction to Porto and advice on the best ways to get around. She has also produced her own guides on things to do and places to eat.
Apart from the guide book recommendations, the extraordinary cemetery nearby is well worth a visit. We found ourselves drawn back most evenings to the Mercado Bom Successo, just 5 mins on foot, which has an amazing variety of local food and drink stalls that produce outstanding food. It is full of locals at lunch and dinner seven days a week.
We walked to most places but did get an Uber to Ribeira when the weather was dire; for two of us it was comparable to the Metro and was quicker. About Eur 4; our return journey to the airport by Uber was about Eur12.
