My time in Porto was made extra special by staying at Miguel’s place.
Firstly I landed in Porto at 2am due to flight cancellations and changes, resulting in arriving to the apartment at 3am. Madelena (Miguel’s Mum) was up waiting and made me hot soup, cheese and ham and wine. Her warm smile and hospitality offered to me immediately took away my cares of a very stressful day.
Throughout my stay, Madelena was incredibly generous with her time, conversation, help and her delicious cooking. It was totally unexpected to have meals but she was so insistent, kind and hospitable in every way. She also took care of my laundry and we had incredible conversations with cups of tea and port. I now consider her my Portuguese Mum, so much more than a friend or a host.
The room is spacious, bed is comfortable, wifi works exceptionally well and the entire house is clean. The property is secure and an easy walk to public transport, the mall and conveniences.
Miguel and brother Jose were so lovely too. They bought me a ticket for the metro and nothing was a problem. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or kinder hospitality.
You won’t be disappointed with staying here. You will plan your next stay like I am haha! An incredible experience!
