We took a chance on this place as there was only one review at the time of booking. We’re so glad we did because we had a great stay!
The Space
- Beautifully renovated (as pictured)
- Spotlessly clean
- Well equipped - full kitchen (with dishwasher, toaster, kettle, microwave), stocked cupboards (more dishes and glasses than you need, full range of pots and pans) and basic pantry items. You can cook anything here.
- Great storage space
- Fast Wi-Fi
- Would be great for an extended stay
The Hosts
Ricardo and Dulcineia are wonderful hosts - quickly responsive to whatever you may need and as involved (or not) as you want them to be. They live upstairs but you would never know as they’re so quiet.
We had some questions we wanted to ask and they were good enough to bring us a bottle of wine and sit down to answer all of our questions and tell us more about Porto. My husband and Ricardo share a love of cycling and Ricardo was generous enough to invite him out for a bike ride AND loan him the gear! We’ve been really lucky with Airbnb hosts but Ricardo and Dulcineia are now at the top of the list. They are the best of what Airbnb aims to be. Our experience in Porto was the better for having met them and we will definitely stay with them again. Thank you Ricardo and Dulcineia!
