Beautiful Plateau was a very clean and comfortable place. We loved having a cafe and bakery close to our place...literally out the door and two doors down. We became morning regulars. We loved having a spot for parking that was secure and private. It was easy access to the subway ..like two blocks away and nice to be away from the busyness of Porto central. The subway took us right into the center cheaply and quickly. The restaurants are further away from the place but there were a few nights we stayed in. We would cab it to a restaurant but we also enjoyed the local closer restaurants and atmosphere when we were out. A lot cheaper and so much great food. We went to Antunes and Adega Escondido and they were amazing. The neighbourhood was safe and no problems walking around. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants an enjoyable place to stay.
