This was our first trip to Porto, we are two couples who are life long friends. The apartment is truly in the heart of the historic center, and though it's on a busy street, it's set way back in a private courtyard that's serene and quiet. Anything that you want to see in Porto is easily within walking distance. And the little bakery next door has delicious bread, pastries and coffee. Finally, our hosts were super friendly, very responsive, and we loved their suggestions for places to eat.
