Photos do not do it justice - The Arcade is absolutely gorgeous! Every inch of this place was obviously thought out meticulously. Having friends over one night, they were all in awe, some even taking photos in hopes of replicating some of the design esthetics in their own homes.
Just as importantly, I have traveled all over the world and Jean and Luz were the most attentive and generous hosts I have literally ever had! They both went out of their way on numerous occasions, in just my two night stay, to make sure I was comfortable and best able to enjoy the beautiful city of Porto.
A highlight of my trip was a great dinner at a local restaurant on a Saturday night. I was traveling with a group of 15+ and we decided to try to get a reservation somewhere later than we should have. Needless to say, getting a reservation for such a large group on a Saturday night at 4 PM is next to impossible. When I reached out to Jean for some advise, he went out of his way to get us a reservation at a beautiful local restaurant, that met all of our dietary restrictions (which was not minimal), and it turned out just fantastic. There is no way we would have been able to have such an experience without Jean stepping in and making it happen.
All in all my stay was just perfect and in large part due to Jean and Luz's beautiful place and even more amazing hospitality. Thank you both again so much!
