Simona's communication was great, her English is excellent and we were greeted at the entrance of the flat and given useful tips about the city so that aspect of the stay couldn't have been better. The flat itself had all we needed for our stay and does indeed have a lovely view from the balcony as shown in the listing. I enjoyed spending time there reading and drinking a beer in the evening. The location was convenient for us and is but a short Metro ride from the city and a cable car ride down to the river front. We enjoyed our first visit to Porto although I have to admit I didn't realise that it was quite as hilly as it is. We prefer to walk around when we visit and this certainly left us fitter than when we arrived and meant that when we sat down to dinner, we had earned it!
