The best AirBnB experience ever! I felt at home, I felt loved, Alexandra was like my sister who went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience in Porto.
Home is beautifully designed by Alexandra, authentic azulejo tiles combined with the graphic comic book elements, all made by our creative host - from pictures hanging on the walls to pillows and chairs and dressers.
Me and my husband stayed downstairs (enjoyed spiraling stairs so much!) and we had everything we needed for a great stay as a couple - privacy, tv with a lot of channels and great movies (in English with subtitles in Portuguese), coffee maker, fridge, sink, bar, all the stylish dishes, even food! (there was water, coffee, milk, cheese, ham, bread, yoghurt, fruit...) Private bathroom with toilet, sink and shower, we were able to walkout to Alexandra’s beautiful garden and enjoy her lovely flowers and designs there too!
And the dog! Our Foxy! Such a happy and sweet girl! Unconditional love. We loved to play with her every day.
We also got the best tips and advices what to visit, where to eat, what to do in Porto, and since we don’t speak Portuguese we really appreciate Alexandra’s perfect English skills and needless to say we enjoyed our everyday conversations.
From the very first day we arrived when she made a reservation to watch the sunset from the best spot in the city (there’s a rooftop restaurant otherwise we didn’t know about) till the last day she booked Douro River tour through her friends agency getting us last two seats on a very short notice. Alexandra drove us to eat, to trains, she did our laundry, she let us stay longer... I could go on and on... She is a woman with a heart of gold and I feel like I’ve known her forever. I will definitely stay at her place next time I’m in town. Highly recommend Alexandra’s home to anyone who is visiting Porto.
Thank you my sweet friend for everything!!! God bless you and your family!
