Modesto is wonderful. I felt he was an old friend. He has a beautiful little cafe downstairs, so we stopped by and consulted him ... perhaps too often! The apartment is small but very well equipped, recently appointed with extreme good taste. My husband, who is an architect, admired the finish. The building also was restored with great taste. The location is absolutely the best in the historic center: 5 minutes from the Ribeira (riverside quarter), 5 from the beautiful old station of Sao Bento, 5 from a small but well furnished super market and 10 from the cathedral, the Tower of the Clerigos and transportation to the seaside. Modesto gave us tickets for a boat ride, and welcomed us with fruit and a bottle of port. We loved Porto and would go back to Modesto and Filomana's immediately. We thank them very much.
