Generally, my primary target of accommodation is hotels, but this time I booked my first Airbnb. The hosts were amazing, very helpful, and very responsive via various messengers. Worthy to mention, I needed a scale for my suitcases which was not listed, but I was provided with one the following day.
I am usually very picky about the cleanness, and comfort of my booked accommodation, and so far this apartment has been one of the cleanest stays of my life! Having Netflix on their TV was a very good bonus, especially when preparing dinner and dining. The hosts were very generous to prived Nespresso coffee capsules, not just 2-free capsules like hotels do.
The stay was very close to the center, a 5-minute walk by the bank of the river Douro. The location felt like a townhouse, but indeed in town, as the neighborhood was very calm.
Planning on returning, a 5-star stay!
