Helena's lovely place is in a wonderful and beautiful location in Porto - very short walking distance to the gorgeous river promenade where we enjoyed two really tasty meals out at both the "Fuga" and "Bocca" - lovely views and right by the water. Would recommend coffee from the "Camelia Brunch Garden" a short walk from the house.
There was just the right amount of life in the area - people out jogging and walking in the mornings/evenings, but still a little way out of the bustle of the busy tourist-heavy/traffic locations in Porto. Nonetheless, it was a short bus trip, drive or Uber (even a 40min walk along the river if you're up to it!) to the main old town neighbourhood of Ribeira.
The house was clean, homey and a nice aesthetic. Great to have our own garden to catch the afternoon sunlight! And herbs to cook with :) Wonderful for groups of any size.
3minute walk to a big Lidl supermarket for food needs. Pharmacy, fruit shop & cornerstone also a very short walk.
Helena was very helpful and friendly, available to offer advice and suggestions at any time.
