Ivan is an amazing host and was always quick to respond to our questions. If he didn’t know the answer, he would find out and get back to us quickly. Recommendations for vegetarian restaurants, where to get a COVID test on a Sunday, and the best bakery nearby for delicious Portuguese bread; Ivan had the answers! Ivan even offered to pick us up at the train station when we arrived and that was so helpful too! His apartment is beautiful and elegant and stocked with absolutely everything you could need. We also loved the location and the views of the Douro River, especially at night, are unforgettable! We highly recommend Ivan’s place!!
