We had a wonderful stay in João’s apartment. Communication from the moment we booked (months in advance) until the moment we checked in was always prompt and helpful. Our instructions to find the apartment from the airport were clear and helpful. João gave us a great orientation to the apartment, Porto and local amenities when we arrived and was super friendly, helpful and available throughout our stay.
The apartment itself is exactly as described. Light and airy. Clean. Very comfortable bed and all of the amenities that you will need. In particular the washing machine met all of our needs and our clothes dried quickly by the window even during a rainy couple of days.
But the very very best thing about the apartment is the superb view of the Douro River and the Ribiera below. You will get the opportunity to drink in the rhythm and beauty and ambience of the Douro if you stay at this apartment. We spent countless hours just gazing out the window at the scene below.
Thank you João for being a superb host and sharing your apartment with us.
