Baumhaus Serviced Apartments

We stayed in Nadir which feels like it is below stairs but is probably the most private appartment. The weather was hit and miss but we could still sit out admiring the tree. We felt as if we had our own private place in Porto which was great. Unfortunately after a good start, the advice we received from the manager during our stay was very underwhelming and could have totally spoilt our stay if we hadn’t figured the transport system out for ourselves. We asked for directions down to Ribeira and then Grahams Port House on a day when the weather forecast was for torrential rain. Instead of recommending we get the nearest metro station from Carolina Michaelis we were advised to find a number 500 bus from Praca da Galiza. This was a building site and after asking numerous locals who all said the bus 500 didn’t go there we went to the recommended plan B. Plan B was to catch the Line D yellow metro line from casa musica metro station. Sounds perfect…..except the line D does not go through casa musica. After that we decided to totally ignore anything Carla had told us and thankfully found our way to Vinum at Grahams Port House for our lunch reservation on time 2.5hrs after setting out. We loved our room and the location of Baumhaus once we worked out the public transport links for ourselves. Just don’t listen to Carla.
