We spent 5 nights at Fernanda's smart apartment. It is a very clean, open plan space. The cupboards were full of cleaning materials (& toilet paper) - all things you don't want to buy on holiday. There were essential items in the kitchen such as coffee, salt & pepper, oil & herbs. Fernanda provided us with a good bottle of local white wine to welcome us. When our flight was delayed & she wasn't able to do the hand-over to us, she arranged for her nephew Francisco to meet us and show us around. Thank you Francisco. The apartment is very well stocked with all equipment you may need in the kitchen. There's a microwave & a 2-plate hob top but no oven. Once you have mastered the technique of how to use the shower there's plenty of hot water. We loved eating our breakfast outside on the patio every morning in mild September weather. A huge bonus. The apartment's well situated in town - easy walking distance to all the main attractions and to both Sao Bento & Bolhao stations. There are 2 supermarkets a block or two away. Things to note: there are 52 steps from the street level to the lift door. Although it can sleep 4 (2 on sofa bed) it is an open plan space so choose your room mates carefully! Porto won our hearts as a city. Clean, friendly, colourful, welcoming place. Last word of warning - you need to be fit to manage the hills and steps everywhere!
