I stayed in Emanuel's apartment with a friend during a long weekend in Porto. After delays due to a train strike, I arrived at the apartment over an hour late (from our agreed on check-in time). Even though I had not been able to communicate my delay, Emanuel's assistant was waiting there to check me in with a smile. The apartment was beautifully decorated in a modern, clean style with a lot of light. This is stark contrast from the building itself which is dark and musty. The apartment is appointed like a hotel room, taking into account the needs of a traveler - hairdryer, toiletries, iron, charging outlets near bed, etc. We were able to walk everywhere in town from the apartment. Emanuel was very accommodating and didn't mind us checking out late as our flights were in the evening. Porto is a great city and this is a great apartment to base yourself from!
