Joao was the most enthusiastic and helpful host I've had in any Airbnb. He took his time to explain ALL the sights to see in Porto, showed us on the map (that he provided) all the local spots, and answered all our questions about the Portuguese culture/lifestyle. The apartment was beyond fantastic! We spent a night in and felt right at home--it was spacious for two people and comfy (a lot of furniture was from IKEA so it felt very modern). It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the downtown area of Porto.
