Paulo’s and Caroline’s home is a gem, and their hospitality unparalleled! They are wonderfully warm and chatty... we had some great conversations especially when Paulo was showing me how to eat a francesinha in the middle of the night. The location was ideal for me as I like to stay in neighborhoods with more local flavor, yet within walking distance from most attractions. They were responsive and accommodating, allowing me to drop off my luggage early and pick it up late. Paulo had a fantastic list of places to eat in the neighborhood as well as other places in town (ie: best fish, best sunset, best views etc)... my room was in the 3rd floor, with a small balcony facing the street, and had a private bathroom. It was impeccable. May want pack lightly as there is no elevator (Paulo was kind enough to take my luggage up so it was there when i got back). Their home is also accessible by metro (Carolina Michaelis) and bus (602) with a stop right in from of the house... and a huge plus, if you are looking for special Douro wines, Paulo is very knowledgeable and has a great selection too!... I highly recommend them. I would definitely stay with them again on my next trip to Porto!
