We were so lucky to have found Josefa’s apartment during our long stay in Porto.
Many Airbnb’s in Portugal are run by management companies which makes the whole experience a bit robotic and not as friendly. However, with Josefa, we felt the whole time as if we are at home. She is a highly competent host, extremely knowledgeable about the area, and literally anything we needed she made it happen. Super attentive to detail and responsive at all times. There was not a day where we felt like she wasn’t taking care of us in the background. 🙌
The cleaning has been a huge perk of staying here too! Since we were staying long term, Josefa had someone coming every week to clean. The girl is extremely careful and responsible. Which has given us during this whole COVID-19 situation a piece of mind. Her work is one of the best we have ever seen in comparison to other Airbnbs. She always leaves the apartment like a royal palace (so shiny and sparkling clean).
Also, the apartment is fully equipped with everything you could wish or possibly need! Wifi is wonderful. My wife and I both work remotely and the speed was great even when we were both having video calls at the same time every day. Additionally, the bed was very comfortable and the AC was quite useful during the very hot summer days.
The location is 100% the best! It is quite close to the city center yet still very quiet at night. Which is something we prefer, as we are both light sleepers.
I would give Josefa over 5 stars if I could because she did not only go above and beyond for us but also she has provided the smoothest of all Airbnb stays ever, starting from the check-in process till the very end.
Thank you Josefa and thank you to all the people that work with you to make sure our stay was one of the best things that happened to me and my wife during this year.
I highly recommend Josefa’s apartment and I will try to stay with her every time I come back to Porto.
