Private and public review: Teresa and Miguel There is so much to thank you for - at times it felt like Janika's Patio was the holiday destination in itself! It was such a privilege to stay in your apartment. Firstly, thank you so much for hosting my aunt and me. This was my first time using Airbnb and I was nervous - especially about being in a country I had never been to before and about perceived language barriers. I also wanted to ensure my aunt had the best time in Portugal - travelling seems to be one of her top retirement goals! Teresa, you were absolutely fantastic from the start. Before and after booking, your replied to all my queries immediately - very efficient - and no language barriers whatsoever - thank you. You answered my questions with clarity and I absolutely loved the list of interesting places to visit and things to do in Porto which you provided - thank you. I'm only sorry we didn't have more time in Porto to explore and experience more. Thank you for arranging the taxi to pick us up from the airport. Meeting you at the apartment for check-in was like greeting a friend - thank you for that warm, friendly welcome. You had laid out Port for us with those lovely little crystal glasses and your a-m-a-z-I-n-g chocolate cake! Delicious chocolate cake and port? What a wonderful 'welcome'- thank you. You had even set the table for three, to include our friend who was meant to travel with us, and stay at another place, but couldn't make the trip in the end - how kind and thoughtful of you - thank you. My aunt, who never eats chocolate cake because it gives her spots, had three slices - and no spots! Your apartment is so stylish, well-designed, bright and contemporary. Yet you have managed to also include those thoughtful touches and traditional charm that made us feel so at home - we felt like treasured guests - thank you. We really appreciated all the thoughtful touches you provided - fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with the best of everything - travel guides on the side table - fruit, breakfast snacks, milk, water, wine, beer - 'Rituals' bathroom products were unexpected luxuries - thank you. New linen and everything sparkling clean - thank you. When I realised the phone charger adapter I brought didn't work, within an hour you were there with an adapter that did work - thank you. When we were preparing to travel to Coimbra, you offered help and advise, calmed down my travel doubts, booked our taxi to the train station and even booked our return taxi to the airport. Even then, you were still reassuring us that, if we needed anything, please ask you - thank you. This level of service is far more than we had ever expected - and it was all very much appreciated - thank you. Your hospitality was first class throughout...
