We spent three nights at João's place. As we arrived in the building, João was waiting for us in the entrance. We was really nice, helping us with our luggage. He also gave us a map and explained about the city, giving us tips on places to go and how to get around the city. He explained with details how to get to Douro Valley. The apartment is exactly how we see in the pictures: very comfortable, spotless clean and well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay! Next time we go to Porto, we will certainly stay there again. Highly recommended!!
