As there were 6 of us on holiday together we thought we needed a bit of space to ourselves, but also wanted to be able to all hang out together at times, Fatima's apartment turned out to be perfect for our 3 day stay in Porto.

4 of us were attending the NOS Primavera Sound music festival, while the other 2 wanted to check out the nightlife in Porto.

While it's about 10 minutes walk to Lapa metro stop from the apartment, once there you can be in Porto central in 3 quick stops, alternatively taking a (cheap) cab/Uber directly from the apartment will get you to the Ribeira area in less than 10 minutes.

The apartment is clean and spacious containing, a large living room/dining room, a large kitchen and 4 bedrooms, two containing a large double bed, one with two singles and another with 3 singles (we could really spread out). There were also two bathrooms which helped tremendously in the mornings when we were all preparing to go out.

The kitchen was stocked with tea and coffee (a capsule machine which helped not being too reliant on coffee shops), some other consumables (bread, eggs & milk) as well as a bottle of port for us to all share (thanks Fatima!).

All in all, we had a great holiday in Porto, attending the music festival, port tasting, visiting the beach, wandering around the river, checking out the food market and eating at the amazing Casa De Cha Da Boa Nova.

Fatima's apartment helped us feel more at home in Porto, and helped make the holiday a very enjoyable one!
