João and his girlfriend met us at the house at our planned time for check-in. The house was easy to find and we were able to park our car right on the street out front. There was coffee, beer, milk, and port wine for us, as well as pasteis de nata. Very thoughtful touches! The house was clean and quiet. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The house is very conveniently located near the metro, a park, a market, and a short walk to the Douro River. It was helpful to have a washing machine and hair dryer available. The shower had good water pressure and hot water on demand. There was a small balcony outside of one bedroom and blinds on all windows that could be closed completely to block out light/noise and for added security. I would recommend this property for a small group or family.
