Amoporto makes an excellent home base for visiting Porto and northern Portugal. Eugénia and Carlos could not have been better hosts and provided so much information on things to see and do and places to eat that it was quickly clear that we had not planned a long enough trip. For those with cars, the indoor garage on site is excellent and the approach off the Ponte do Infante makes arrival and day trips in the region relatively simple. Daytime traffic is very heavy, but the street calms down completely overnight. Although slightly to the east of most sites, we were still in easy walking distance of many places and not far from several metro stops. Plus there are many great restaurants and shops right in the neighbourhood - including a highly recommended place for francesinhas - plus a couple of grocery stores around the block. Don't miss the walk down to the river in early morning to see a spectacular sunrise through the bridges! The apartment is well outfitted. We appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea and spices. Plus our hosts were generous with welcoming offerings of port, vinho verde and chocolate (plus the information about where to find more). Response to questions and issues was quick. Who can ask for more.
