We have enjoyed many VRBO and Airbnb stays over the years, and our 18 nights here were best of all. If we can get back to Porto, this is where we want to stay. Light, airy, spacious, tastefully furnished and decorated, and up to date. There is a bit of a hike to the center of town (8 minutes) and another 7 minutes to the Luis I bridge...and the walk back is steady uphill grade, which may be of concern if you are mobility limited. But there are many good restaurants closer than the center of town without that challenge, the principal shopping area is also nearby, and the best connected Metro station is right across the street. Pedro is an outstanding host, and the apartment, refrigerator, and cabinets are well-stocked with whatever you need...including the nicest bottle of wine we had in Portugal. We very much enjoyed our lunch-time dining at Almeja, Antunes, Kardoso, 17°, eLeBe, O Ferreira, O Buraco, and Boa Bao...different experiences each, most with quite amenable pricing for weekday lunches. We suggest you check them out on tripAdvisor. And one other thing...the internet here the the best we have found in our travels, commercial grade, professionally installed, and fast.
