This property is fantastic and made even better by Teresa. She was absolutely amazing. Not only was she very responsive and helpful leading up to our stay, she actually met us at the apartment, jumped in the car with us and helped us locate the parking garage. GPS was not the most accurate in this area so that was a lifesaver. She then stayed to give us all sorts of information about the area. She is by far one of the best hosts we have ever had.
As for the property. it is beautiful, modern, very well equipped and perfectly situated walking distance from everything there is to do. It sits above several bars and restaurants (don't worry, you do not hear the noise in the apartment). And it is across the street from a wonderful park with lots of benches and shade.
There is a small convenience store on the corner that sells snack, wine, beer and liquor.
The apartment is perfect for a family of 3 maximum. There is no storage for suitcases so if you travel with a lot of bags you may want to unpack and leave the empty bags in the car so you are not cramped. but the apartment is worth the small inconvenience.
It is a 15 - 20 minute walk to the river. Basically it is about a 5 - 30 minute walks from everything.
If you are driving, the nearest parking is a public underground garage with a stairway exit that leaves you in front of your apartment and will cost you about $20 euros p/day. You will not need the car in Porto so park it and forget it.
I look forward to staying again!!
