Christina and Pedro’s place, just a few minutes walk to the east of Porto City Hall ( Praca do Municipio) is the perfect location for a stay of any length in Porto! And it’s located right on one of Porto’s most famous streets, Rua Santa Catarina, which means you’ll have restaurants, cafe’s, pastelaria and shopping all just a few meters from your front door (BTW, be sure to check out the Bolhao Marketplace across from Manteigaria!)
But, and this is a big but… if you also prioritize a quiet as well as convenient location then this is the place for you because despite all the activity outside… you won’t hear a thing inside! Most of Porto’s major attractions are within easy walking distance, as are the famous Sao Bento train station (Comboios de Portugal) and both the Trindade and Aliados Metro stations.
The flat is perfect for two, with a very comfortable bed, more than ample living/dining space and a fully equipped kitchen! The shower features lots of hot water and ample water pressure to help revive tired muscles after a long day of walking and sightseeing… or conversely, prepare you for the day ahead!
Needless to say everything was clean, tidy and Christina and Pedro were the perfect hosts! Pedro checked in with me three or four times during my stay to see how I was doing. So, if you’re planning to visit Porto, then this is the place to stay if you like walking and easy access to all the places you’re seen and read about!
