Porto December 2010
Submitted: December 23, 2010

The apartment was very clean, well laid out good facilities and comfortable for the 3 of us. Rute was extremely helpful both before we left for our holiday and once we were there. The apartment was in a great location, in the centre of magical Porto. The only minor negative points were that some of the surrounding properties were in need of a bit of tlc and the narrow street outside can be a little noisy on Friday and Saturday night. However this pales into insignificance when you discover what Porto has to offer It is a Photographers paradise, the architecture, the views, places of interest by the shed full, the river, the bridges, the coast, the friendly people and the weather, 20c in December.
The transport system is second to none, trains, trams, buses, and brilliant metro. 11euro for 3 day unlimited city travel what a bargain, get tickets from tourist information office.
A tip for the ladies make sure you pack flat walking shoes the beautiful Portuguese granite setts/cobbles are not sympathetic towards high heels.
All in all we had a fantastic week in Porto what a place, top city.
