Alvaro is definitely a SUPER HOST. Alvaro personally greeted us and provided tons of useful tips about Porto and how to best utilize our time. His place had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Alvaro even provided fresh bread, fruits, and milk. The place is located 5-10 minutes drive from downtown Porto/Gaia. There is a supermarket, Bakery, coffee, and patisserie, and restaurants within 1-5 minutes walk. I have to say it again - Alvaro is a great host and place have some friendly and helpful neighbors. I would recommend and would happily stay again in Alvaro's place.
