We stayed with Ester in her Rua Arrábida house for six days as a family of five. The house is very spacious and easily gave room for the five of us. Its interior is gorgeaus, beautifully decorated, with an eye for detail, an impressive view from the top floor over the mouth of the Duoro river valley, as it is fully equipped. Also, we greatly enjoyed the terrace for when we had downtime or were hanging out.

The house lies on top of the hillside along the Duoro river which requires a steep climb from the connecting street to Porto and the beaches. The only two access routes from the connecting street seemed shady. Otherwise the house lies in a rough neighborhood, but full of kind people. Whether you want to go to the beach or visit Porto, access via public transport is very good.

All in all, Ester was a great host, making all interactions enjoyable and renting easy. The house we greatly recommend.
