Another lovely stay at Joao's top floor penthouse apartment on Rua Santa Catarina, right in the historic centre.
Joao is a wonderful host, and has several excellent apartments in the same building and in other locations.
The top 3rd floor apartment is very spacious and bright, with the gentle bustling sounds of the famous pedestrian shopping street below during the day, and mostly pretty quiet at night.
The apartment has everything you need for a longer stay. 2 bedrooms and 2 modern shower bathrooms, one with a washing machine/ dryer. The main central living space has a fully equipped kitchen living room. The larger front bedroom has a small balcony with great views all the way up and down Santa Catarina. The whole apartment has very good air conditioning if required. There is no lift, so there are quite a few stairs to climb, which may be a problem for some, but if you've come to Porto to explore the city on foot, you'll also be climbing quite a few streets.
Beautiful Porto, and Portugal for that matter, is one of the safest European countries to visit, especially at the moment, having implemented clear, strict health and safety rules from the start, which has really paid off in terms of dramatically reducing their infection rates. Go and have an amazing, relaxing and safe holiday in Porto!
