I would highly recommend staying at this place if you want to experience a Porto mansion in a non-touristy corner of the city. It's in a quiet residential neighbourhood, however, the tourist spots are a short walk away. Pedro was a great host. We checked in the morning after an early flight. In spite of working night shifts, he was there to greet us and gave us great tips about where to eat and what to see. He has two adorable black cats whose company we enjoyed. The house is being renovated, so the garden is not usable. And the toilets (both private and shared) could be a little cleaner. However, the cleanliness of shared toilets also depends on fellow boarders. And when we requested Pedro for cleaning and toilet paper he promptly delivered. What this place lacks in luxury, it more than makes up in experience. I'd stay here again.
