Porto Studios

Jose was very helpful even before we arrived in Porto. We asked for and he provided very detailed travel directions from the airport but we ended up taking the taxi because it was easier. Only took us 15-20mins and 20-something euros, driver stopped right outside the accommodation on the main road. Room was clean, tidy and a good size for the two of us (good shower as well). Jose was available on his phone as soon as I called and no question was too minor for his attention. Was happy to chat in the communal area (next to the kitchen, which has everything you need if you decide to cook and eat in - big supermarket just 5mins walk up the road). Buses to central Porto is opposite the Studios and to the right, quite frequent and only takes around 15mins - we took one of the buses right to the end of the line, can't remember which number it was but I know the last stop was Rua do Bolhao! Coming back, the bus stops right outside the accommodation, think our stop was Areosa Mercado. We bought the Andante Tour 3(day) travelcard from one of the train stations - you can get the Andante Tour 1(day) on the bus. Overall, very happy with the price given it was a pretty last-minute booking. Would definitely stay here again if I came back to visit Porto, everyone is very friendly in the area. Thank you Jose for your hospitality and making our stay a memorable one for all the right reasons :)
