Julia's place was wonderful for our 3 nights in Porto - perfect for a couple or solo-traveler. Located right down by the water, it was a beautiful spot with gorgeous views of the river and close to many restaurants and shops. The personal touch of a welcome basket was much appreciated and the little rooftop patio did not disappoint. You get an unobstructed view of the river and bridge and a gorgeous sunset if you time it right. There is some construction next door and a crane - not great to look at but not an issue noise-wise as there was no work currently being done. As the place is located by the river, most sights are going to be a walk up but well worth the effort to climb the stairs and hills - and the walk back down is a breeze.
