We had a great stay in the orange apartment. It's so charming. It was very clean with nice attention to details. Well-done with respect to preserving period and architectural details and providing modern comforts including nice bedding and amenities in the bathroom. The view out the windows (really a Juliet balcony) transports you to another time. The bottle of Porto and fresh breads in the morning was special. It's a really lovely spot.
Check-in and departure were easy. The welcome glass of Port while orienting us to the city, with lists of good restaurants and places to see was really a nice touch and appreciated.
We also appreciated being able to leave our bags on check out day so that we could pick up our rental car.
The neighborhood is very nice, cute shops with local craftsman/women, and places to eat and listen to music are close by. The building is also very convenient from the train station (to and from the airport and for day trips) and walking distance to everything you will want to see. You can take a bus or tram anywhere you want to go picking it up close by.
We enjoyed heading down to the Port area for food and wine tasting. We also recommend taking in a show of fado at the Casa de Guitarra - tickets are available at the tourist office.
Oporto has a great youthful and artistic vibe that us baby boomers can relate to. The city is busy making tourists feel welcome and cared for -
There are nice airbnb's, new boutique hotels capturing and respecting the past and preserving its beautiful and rich culture. We'll be back and will stay with Eugenio again.
