What else can be said that hasn't been mentioned by other reviewers? Manuel's accommodations and hospitality were perfect! Located in a quiet part of town that is a 10 minute walk from the Vila Nova De Gaia train station (if you're coming from Lisbon) or a 5 minute walk to the Porto tram/light rail, his place was a convenient base to explore Porto. And the views and accommodations are fantastic. Manuel and his family made us instantly feel at home and reminded us why we love the Airbnb experience. They respected our privacy and at the same time, were willing to chat only if we wanted to. Theresa, his wife, is super sweet and charming - and openly shares her homemade jams, breads, strong and delicious coffee -- in addition to her warm hospitality. Manuel definitely earns the super-host star and kept us continuously laughing. Right from the start - he provided us with a map and marked off places to go in Porto, routes, hidden secrets and non-hidden secrets (very proud of some Lonely Planet top ten designations!), and good places to eat. All of his recommendations were spot-on. He also shared with us his personal thoughts on Portuguese culture and politics - giving us an insider's perspective to life in Portugal. We felt like we were visiting dear friends as we were hanging out in his living and dining room. At the same time, we always felt that Manuel and his family made sure to respect our privacy. The room was perfect and just as described. In addition to another spectacular view of a different part of the city - the room had a nice desk (with drinking glasses and water), a comfortable bed, a TV, wifi access, and some comfy chairs to lounge around in. The bathroom was nearby and we never problems with access (good hot water pressure!). We felt like Manuel and his family were perfect examples of why airbnb works - not only did we have a great cultural exchange, we also had a safe and comfortable place to rest. Not only would we recommend his place to those looking to explore Porto, we hope to one day welcome him and his family to our home.
