Maneul was a very helpful host. His apartment is on the 10th floor,large room with ensuite and fantastic views. For a extra €5 his lovely wife, Teresa, made breakfast. We used Manuel's tour guide business for a full day to Douro valley. He was cheaper than commercial tour operators and covered 3 sections including boat ride at end. We had lunch at a local restaurant which was great experience. Second day we did a half day tour with him of Porto city which was great visiting places you would not see with commercial tours. Manuel was very generous with his time and it was great being taken on your tour from your doorstep. Manuel also provided shuttle to and from airport for very reasonable price of €20.
