I don’t see how you can go wrong with this location if you want to explore the historical district of Porto. Everything is within walking distance and the Metro is right around the corner. Sónia even went so far as to arrange transportation from the airport when there were 3 flight changes and exhaustion was setting in. The only draw back is that traffic going up the hill at night could be bothersome to some and the construction in the back acts as an 8 o’clock alarm.
