Everything good that you read is exactly our experience of this place.
We wanted a place where we could open the windows and be "in" the City. As it opens up into a pedestrianised walkway with no road, it was perfect.
It was beautiful to wake up in the morning light, listen the the street life with the windows open and also be within 10 mins to everything that people would want to tick off from their first visit to Porto.
Lucinda gave us the warmest welcome, the place was beautifully clean and our 3 year old absolutely adored it.
Cannot recommend it enough.
