Our 6 night stay in this apartment was one of the best Airbnb experiences we've ever had. Celso and Dânia are truly gracious hosts, communicative and helpful. They've prepared this stylish apartment to provide every creature comfort a traveler might need.
Sleeping: a super comfortable bed with quality pillows and coverings; a nightstand on each bedside with a good nightlight for reading; automatic shutters that provides a total blackout, sensory-deprivation environment that is especially welcomed by light sleepers like me; plenty of storage space for clothes. Bathroom: modern, stylish amenities with a ample shower with lots of water pressure and hot water; extra nice quality towels. Kitchen: all the cooking and serving utensils needed to make breakfast, lunch or dinner; a sitting area in front of a window overlooking the Port of Matosinhos and the beach (a great place to have your first cup of coffee in the mornings). Living room: a very comfortable sofa, a dining table for 4, cable TV. Terrace: there is a large terrace off of the living room with a large sliding glass door for full access, 2 chairs and a table (another great place to start your morning and relax).
The apartment is only 2 blocks from the beach and the Matosinhos boardwalk. There are dozens of seafood restaurants to choose from in this neighborhood which is known for the great seafood. There is also a metro stop just 1 block away, Matosinhos Sul. This line goes directly to the Porto city center in about 20 minutes. It could not be more convenient.
To recap, this apartment is one of the nicest and most comfortable of our Airbnb experiences and Celso and Dânia are great hosts with top-of-the-line focus on hospitality. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone that is looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in the Porto area.
