Lucinda and Joe are A+ hosts. They provide a lovely secluded spot for those who want privacy, but are also open and willing to share their home and information about the city/ country as well (and are very knowledgeable at that!). During our relatively brief stay they made me and my young son feel like family. The room itself is simple yet lovely with a huge window that opens to a view of their tranquil garden outside. The garden is small but packed with life: fruit trees, a turtle pond, flowers, and a huge cypress tree that I'm told was their Christmas tree originally 20 years ago! As a guest we had access to the garden and you could sit out there all day as it is very peaceful. The private bathroom was nice as well and the shower was very comfortable. The area itself is great because it is right next to a nice public park, several great restaurants, as well as having easy access to public transportation, allowing you to explore all of Porto and beyond if that is your wish. I really cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely stay there again when I visit beautiful Porto!
