We absolutely loved the apartment, it was clean, welcoming & spacious. Joao has great taste & the apartment was a little bit of retro heaven. The kitchen is very well equipped & the bedrooms were uncluttered but cosy & the beds were comfortable. Joao also very kindly provided us with eggs & other bits & pieces, which was a nice touch. It was great having a bit of outside space too where we could spend time in the evening.
We had a minor issue when we first arrived, which Joao sorted out super quick. He's a really nice friendly guy & was very helpful, telling us good places to eat/bars etc (unless you're vegetarian!!).
The neighbourhood can be a little noisy in the evening, but it didn't bother us at all. It's convenient for the Metro & the beautiful old quarter of the city.
We loved our trip to Porto & will hopefully return one day & we will definitely stay at Casa Formosa again, it's one of the nicest apartments I've stayed in.
