Feels Like Home

This place is amazing! The second my friend and I walked into The White Box House, we were greeting with a friendly smile and recommendations that would keep us busy for days. One of the owners, Alex, is usually around and has plenty of stories to tell and a list of great “secret"places that visitors should check out. The house is decorated in a sleek, modern mid-century style that is hip but yet warm and cozy. The House is centrally located downtown, and very close to the metro station. There are plenty of great bars, shopping and restaurants nearby too. Every morning we were spoiled with a breakfast for champions; fresh bread, a variety of jams, coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, and baked goods. A true delight. After spending time with the team that works there, we soon began to call them our friends. I definitely want to go back to Porto soon, partially to hang out with my new friends.
