The only thing i can recommend about this place is the size of the room and the comfortability of the bed.
That's it!
The location is awkward, situated at the top of the hill, its a real hike going down to the centre and coming back up.
The bathroom situation was awkward as (not mentioned in manuels profile) you will be sharing with the family ( 5 people, 2 grown up sons included), i would never have booked a room if i had been aware of this arrangement. I had to wait on many occasions to use the toilet or shower.
No map on arrival, ( i asked on numerous occasions , with no success)
no tea or coffee (although not stated) i feel its the minimum you should offer to a guest ( I myself have been an airbnb host and know how nice it is to have a tea\coffee before you leave the home)
Manuels delay in replying to my messages, and did not answer any phone calls, therefore unnecessary confusion and misunderstandings were caused, thus creating a stressful start to my stay.
I felt very uncomfortable with Manuel a highly strung individual who finally came to pick me up, he was really stressed ( due to managing 10 other airbnb properties plus running daily tours)
His phone was ringing and beeping continuously , it was very stressful being around him.
He had absolutely no interest in me whatsoever, only to tell me how great and successful he was most of the time!
He is a businessman and the whole concept of Airbnb is lost with this individual, its all about numbers and cash with him!
I would not recommend his wine tour to the Douro valley. It was so rushed, careless and dangerous driving (Lewis Hamilton came to mind on numerous occasions as he raced around the bends!)
I asked him to slow down, and not to use his mobile,but it lasted no more than a couple of minutes.
I was very ill at the end of the day, the driving, the rushing from place to place in the heat, it was hectic, frantic, and all about him.
Plus, it was expensive for the overall experience, which i wanted to be over and lacked any kind of enjoyment factor.
