Joao is a great host - he welcomed on the street, provided all the necessities for our stay, including fruits and coffee. The place is well situated for getting to historic Porto - metro stop is in front of the building, and it'a a 3 stops to Sao Bento, or one can walk in just 15 minutes. Great shopping - supermarkets, El Corte Englaise 5 min walk, cafes, restaurants, and port-wine cellars very close by. There is a private underground parking which Joao provides, easy to get out and drive to the coast (15 min). We enjoyed our stay
