Vanessa was a great host-- she responded to all messages immediately and was even kind enough to receive tickets in the mail on our behalf prior to our stay. Incredibly generous, Vanessa opened her fridge to us and provided us with everything we would need for our stay, including towels, a comfortable bed and recommendations for Porto.

This was the first time we stayed in a home while the host was there but it didn't make much of a difference for us because we were out most of the day and didn't notice. If we were planning to cook more meals and spend more time in the home it would've been more awkward for us, personally. However, Vanessa is so kind and welcoming that it makes you feel at home, so don't make that a reason not to book with Vanessa.

Vanessa's house was very clean and the pictures accurately represent the accommodations. We rented a car and would leave it by the subway station a few minutes from her home and made our way into the main centre. It was easy and the neighbourhood felt safe and quiet when we returned-- which made sleeping with the window open easy!

Overall, we had a great stay and would come back! Thanks for hosting us Vanessa!!
