Our stay at Carlos' place was exactly what we expected...except for the welcoming bottle of wine which was a lovely surprise and appreciated after a long day of travelling.
The space is perfect as a base for a few days of exploring in Porto as it is so close to all the sights yet away from the tourist chaos. It is quite small - like a hotel room with kitchen facilities- so I wouldn't want to spend an extended period of time staying there.
Claudia was waiting to show us the apartment and was helpful with supplying us with a map and suggestions on where to go.
The bed was very comfortable with nice quality linens. Also enjoyed the terrace; it doesnt have a great view but nice to sit outdoors for morning tea.
If you are going to the airport the lapa metro station accessed from behind the apartment is on the direct line.
