“The kitchenette in each room caught my eye, as did the location on Porto's main shopping street, Rua de Santa Catarina; daily continental breakfast is a welcome touch. It struck me as a practical choice for exploring the city, especially with the metro so close. A solid base for experiencing Porto.”
