Although we didn't actually meet Sonia, she kept in regular contact with us by text, from booking to check out of the apartment. Before arriving Sonia had arranged a taxi transfer for us from the airport, at a much lower cost than we would have paid by booking on line or getting a cab at the airport.
We arrived late in the evening and Sonia had arranged for her daughter to be at the apartment to give us the keys and show us around.
The apartment was clean, modern and had everything that we could have wanted to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, including ample kitchen equipment, glasses, crockery and cutlery. Also a great shower!
The apartment was in a great position in Foz Do Douro, close to bus stops and the tram line, which meant we could get to Porto in about 15 minutes. It was about 5 minutes walk to the beach and a couple of restaurants.
At the end of our stay we had a late flight home so Sonia arranged for us to leave our bags with her parents after check out until our taxi to the airport arrived.
A great first time Airbnb experience and we would definitely recommend Sonia as a host and her apartment in Foz Do Douro.
