Hello
We will be visiting Lisbon and Porto with our 6 year old next July - we will probably have 5 nights in Porto. We are first timers, and looking for recommendations in regards as were to stay.
We will be arriving and leaving on the high speed train (flying in and out of Lisbon). We generally like to have a place in the midst of the "stuff to do". That allows us if we want to go back to our hotel/apartment for an afternoon siesta before heading back out for the night. We definitely don't mind taking public transportation, but really enjoy walking and strolling around the neighborhood.
I would definitely value convenience (both to attractions and transport) and willing to pay a little extra for it. Ideally we would have some sort of apartment, but not against a hotel provided there is room for the three of us, and not a super small room.
I don't have specific plans yet, but likely will take a day river cruise, and up for any visits to near by smaller towns in addition to the typical Porto sites.
Thanks again and any and all advice appreciated.
