Overall a great experience provided by Lurdes and Ricardo. While interaction with them was limited, they did respond to any questions I had promptly. Aderito, their house manager, was the main man. What a guy! He was super pleasant, informative and responsive. His passion for Porto was felt in his suggestions and knowledge of the city. Their cleaning lady even did a load of laundry for me. Not included but really helped me out... they were both such nice people.
The only issue I had was with the dog barking. Something I guess is only an issue if you’re in a room that faces the back yard and you get annoyed with that sort of thing. They have 3 dogs on premise that don’t come in the house but hang out in the back. Their friendly but loud. A minor disruption to an otherwise lovely stay.
