Ricardo is an amazing young man, and has been a great host. When I booked his location, there were other good comments, which we truly concur with. He has a prepared a book of recommendations of places to visit and restaurants to eat at. Anytime we had questions, he was quite open and always prompt to respond. He also provides private tours of the Douro valley, Fado experiences etc... We took a couple of tours with him and Catia, and our group of 6 people had a great time. He is the greatest host that we have seen in airbnb, and now we will compare any future trips to our experience to this one!!! By the way, the views from the 2 decks of this property are spectacular, and a wonderful place to eat or to read a good book with a bottle of porto.
