Helena was a wonderful host although we didn't get to meet her, her husband came to greet us and recommended a lot of things for us to do and was very helpful and friendly. Apparently the bed was broken in this apartment so she let us stay in a different one which was very close to the center, everything was in walking distance. We were happy to be able to cook in the cozy apartment and we had a great stay in Porto. I would definitely recommend Helena as a host!
