The location of the house is excellent - a short walk to the metro and with heaps of nice shops and cafes/restaurants close by. As I had an early flight on the day of departure it was great to be able to walk to the metro and take the train direct to the airport without changing. The house is very nice, clean and spacious with a beautiful garden. Neither Jorge nor Sofia live there so I had the entire house to myself. It was nice to have the place to myself and relax as I had just finished a long hike (the Camino de Santiago). Communication with Jorge prior to arrival was excellent and he met me at check in and explained various local places of interest I could visit and during my stay he contacted me to make sure everything was okay - it was nice to know he was only a call away if I needed anything. There was a bit of noise from next door on my first morning, as they are doing renovations and were laying a concrete floor, but other than that it was whisper quiet and I was able to have a lie-in the next day in the enormous comfortable bed. As I was busy sightseeing I didn't get to sit in the lovely garden but certainly would have done if I'd been there longer. Only downside was that I found the shower area a bit small (more a curtained off alcove really) and the fact that the water control jutted out into the shower area when you turn the water on made it smaller still - so it was a bit awkward. Other than that everything was really lovely and I would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely house or staying there again if I return to Porto.
