Staying at Joana’s is like being welcomed by an old friend who knows just what you need make your trip a little easier. We stayed at Joana’s mid way through a 2 month trip traveling through Europe with our two kids, 10 months old and 4 1/2. We arrived in Porto after an eight hour car trip, we were welcome by Joanna with a delicious meal, toys for the kids, and many other surprises that were unexpected very much appreciated. The Apartment itself is located in quieter neighborhood easily accessible to the waterfront by walking to the metro which is just a few steps from the door. Street parking was easily available and free over the weekend. If you are traveling with kids and want to travel light, Joana’s place has absolutely everything you could ever need, she really thinks of every detail and I have never come across a place that is better equipped for young families. Joana was alway available and if we had questions and went out of her way to help us track down a lost shopping bag that we had forgotten at a restaurant a few days before. If you are hesitating to book because of the location don’t, what you loose in having to walk a bit to the center Joana more then makes up for in her hospitality. Thank you Joana, you are truly a beautiful person.
