Staying with Manuel and his family was one of the highlights of our trip. My girlfriend and I loved our 2 nights there and will go back for another visit. We had a great family dinner our first night as his wife is a great cook followed, of course, by a glass of Port. Manuel was very helpful in offering directions, even maps, along with places to eat and things to do, he really is a great host who loves his city. The home is large, clean and quite new and with it being 10 stories up offers great views of the old city, which is only about 30 minutes walk. I can't wait to go back.
