It was a wonderful experience to stay with Carlos, I would say he would be one of the reason I like Porto so much! He is super nice and friendly. He picked me up at the train station in midnight, explained everything with patience. On Saturday night, he brought me out for drinks and a nice dance floor! What about Sunday? He invited me for a home dinner, what I could say, WOW!!! And following days, we had a coffee talk at night in a cafe around the corner, shared life experience, culture, interest (isn't it the meaning of travel to meet some local people and hear their story?)
With all amazing time and started to like the city a lot, I canceled my trip in Vigo and decided to stay 1 more night in Porto...I asked him "could I stay one more night?", he said yes without hesitation. How nice! (Of course, the extra night should be paid.)
I just wanted to thank so much to him. And I wanted to pack him in my backpack, bring him close to me as a good friend!!
And for the location...I didn't use the public transportation at all!!! Everywhere was walkable and it was absolutely a nice area.
For the room, I have nothing to say because he just made it so comfortable and perfect, spare pillows, fan, towels, nice shower...
His offer was extremely fair...and deserve more with his hospitality.:-)
Highly highly highly recommended!!
