I would give Teresa & Miguel's place a thousand stars if possible! It was the prettiest and best designed little AirBnB I think I have ever stayed in - and I own an AirBnB and stay in AirBnB's almost exclusively when traveling. Teresa is an outstanding host. Her communication is second-to-none and she made us feel so comfortable.
We opted for the breakfast she provides and she was beyond generous. I know everyone will eat different amounts, but we had enough for our three day stay to have a full breakfast every morning and two picnic lunches - and still, there was so much food we never even got to touch! I am gluten sensitive and Teresa went out of her way to provide options that I could eat. On top of all of this, she also had fresh bread delivered each morning - OMG, being from the U.S., this was an amazing treat and added to the exceptionality of our experience. I can't forget to mention that the food she put out to greet us was plated with fresh flowers and fresh rosemary.
There were beautiful flowers in the bathroom and bedroom and a small vase of fresh basil and rosemary for cooking in the kitchen!!! The entire apartment is brand new, with a comfy sofa (a rarity in AirBnb's), Netflix, and even a little toiletry stash of eye masks, ear plugs, and tiny toothpastes (thank you one of those because we ran out of toothpaste our last day).
The apartment is located in the heart of the city, right near the beautiful river, the train, and a perfect little market. Truly the prettiest part of the city! It has a front and back entrance, making accessibly to the river or the train so easy (avoiding as much walking up hills as possible). There are restaurants EVERYWHERE, including a really pretty little restaurant downstairs at the front of the apt. We didn't have time to try it, but it was beautiful.
I absolutely recommend Teresa's apartment above and beyond any hotel, boutique or any other AirBnB, especially if you truly want to experience the beauty and culture of Porto as a very privileged local.
A thousand thank you's Teresa, I hope we can make it back next year!
