“This guesthouse sits right by a main road, a stone's throw to bus stops and a short walk to the metro, so getting around Porto is straightforward. While some might find the rooms a bit cold and street-facing rooms noisy, the spotless upkeep is notable. The friendly owners clearly care, and the location near Campanhã station is a real plus.”
