Joana is a host who goes out of her way to be helpful and available. She truly puts her guests needs first. She took all the time we wanted talking about the area, recommending her favorite restaurants, and even calling a tour company at our request and making arrangements for us. The apartment is perfectly located on a small and relatively quiet side street, yet it is just steps from the Ribeira, which is the waterfront area where where everything is happening, from cafes and restaurants to street performers and boat trips on the Duoro. We had a very comfortable stay, and Joanna could not have been a more perfect host.
