We stayed with Manuel for one week. The room was spacious and clean. There is a king sized bed, desk, end tables and closet. We were provided with linens, towels, slippers, water pitcher and a robe. Teresa even gave us second pillows.
The bathroom is shared with Manuel's three sons, but that was not an issue. The apartment also has a half bath near the kitchen that we could use. The living room and dining room were comfortable and we enjoyed the view from the apartment.
We opted to pay 5 euros extra to Manuel for the breakfast. It included coffee, juice, rolls, butter, homemade marmalade (made by Manuel's wife Teresa), ham and cheese. Although you might be able to get a similar breakfast at a cafe, it was worth it to have the convenience!
Manuel offered that we could also use the fridge kitchen, but since they are a family of 5, Teresa was often in there preparing meals and we didn't want to get in her way, so we opted to eat out for all meals.
We really appreciate Manuel giving us maps and telling us where to go taste port wine and eat. He was always available to answer questions. The metro is a 10 minute walk away and it is a 30 minute walk downhill to the main area of Porto. Nearby the apartment there are a few cafes, pharmacies, fruit stands, etc.
Our flight departed very early in the morning so Manuel offered to take us to the airport for 15 euros since there was no bus or metro available at that hour.
