This proved a perfect base for our six-day stay in Porto. Ana met us on arrival and she was thorough in offering advice and tips and she is rightly proud of her native city. The apartment is a high quality adaptation of the typical tall houses of the district, with elegant stairwell and elevator, and its three windows open to a shallow balcony overlooking the busy street, and a peep across the roof tiles to the Clerigos tower. It is centrally located, a short distance to the Sao Bento train station and metro and the frequent 500 bus service passed the the street. The bedroom/bathroom/kitchette/living room were cleverly laid out and very clean and relaxing with a marvellous shower after long days' walking. There were many restaurants and cafes within a short distance, at attractive prices and high quality, notably Tapabentos. We whizzed around on the many forms of transport on the great-value day ticket, over the splendid bridge, and out beyond Foz on the coast. Ten minutes to drop down to the busy river edge (and a little longer to climb back up). Splendid baroque churches all gilded. A relaxing day's excursion by train and boat to see the unspoilt Duoro valley. A visit to Taylor's port centre. This apartment is highly recommended.
