Cristiano communicated with us very well and was prompt in the replies. On the day we arrived, he went out of his way to meet us at our car, find us some safe parking, and to help carry our bags to the apartment. He is a layed-back host who is very welcoming to guests to his home, and easy to chat with. The location of the apartment is perfect for anything one would want to do in Porto. A huge plus is the outstanding view of the city from his balcony and yard. The private room is exactly that, and quiet too (even during sao joao celebration!). This is a gem of a rental in Porto.
