Is there a way to enter a thousand stars? Manuel and his family are awesome, and they made my stay wonderful. I had unforeseen medical issues while I was in Portugal, so couldn't walk around Porto during the windy winter days I spent there, but Manuel was kind to take me around town for a very reasonable fee and I could see all the major points of the city, which is stunning. He went above and beyond my expectations to make me feel at home during my stay, even assisting me to get medical care when I needed it (getting sick during your vacation is never fun, especially when you're not in your country). His wife Tereza is a great cook, so I'd highly recommend booking a traditional Portuguese meal with her. The room is very spacious, comfortable, clean, and the shower has great water pressure, plus you also get a superb view of Porto from their wide living room window. If you decide to explore the city on your own, the location is close enough to public transportation, so you can easily go to downtown Porto from there. I would not think twice about staying at Manuel's place (I am seriously planning to come back in the future for another visit.)
