Right from the booking through to going home this was a first class vacation. Communications during and after booking the apartment were top notch as was the service. We were picked up from the airport by Shaz who chauffered us to the apartment were we met Yvonne (she must have been cleaning as Shaz was taxiing because the apartment was scrupulously clean) who had done some shopping for us as we had a very late flight. After a few tips on what to do and were to go we were left to our own devices.
The apartment is very comfortable with high end fixtures and fittings. Lots of books and DVD\'s. The bed in particular was very comfortable. For me, the reason I chose the apartment was the balconies, I love to eat al fresco (a rarity when you live in the UK) and breakfast on the balcony was a delight. Fantastic views, the photos don\'t really do it justice. You really don\'t need a car here public transport is cheap regular, clean and accessible. We used the Metro constantly and with a stop right outside the door very convenient. There is a supermarket across the road which sells most things you could want, and a fruit and veg shop a few doors down (25% of UK prices). Walking to the Ribeira takes about 10 minutes across the bridge, though we preferred the views from the Vila Nova de Gaia side of the Douro.
Highlights of the holiday for me were walking along the Doura to the beach at Foz and drinking with the locals at the pavement bars. Watching the sun set over the Atlantic drinking a Sundowner, and Sunday lunch at El Ingles Cortez. Also unforgettable was lunch at lavadores, we just plonked ourselves down at a table outside a house and they fed us the most amazing meal at an unbelievably cheap price.
Porto itself is a marvellous city, culture, architecture, character, it has it all, we shall certainly be back.
