There is always the worry that the pictures and the experience won't match. Don't worry if you stay here. Sonia is a great host who gave us lots of suggestions (yummy bakery on Rua do Bonfim) and ideas for our stay in Porto and she even arranged pick up from the airport, which meant we started our stay on a positive note. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and the four of us had plenty of space. There are stairs, but easily manageable for someone who will be walking the hills of Porto.
