We spent four days here exploring Porto. The location is excellent. The shopping center was just a couple of blocks away with a large grocery store on the bottom floor. The apt. Is near a street that is a mainly a pedway filled with restaurants and shops. We found Porto very easy to explore on foot and enjoyed the river cruise and port wine tour at Calem. Suggestions by the host greeter were helpful and we found the pulled pork sandwich at Conga to be very tasty. A bottle of wine greeted us and was much appreciated. The weather was very hot during our visit and with the windows open for ventilation, the street noise was considerable. With the windows closed, the street noise is not very noticeable. The bakery on the corner has many delicious choices.
