Carla is an amazing host and a treasure trove of information. She was very informative with tips about sights to see, where to eat, bars to visit, and where the best traditional Fado can be seen. This advice is useful if you wish to enjoy traditional, local, settings rather than the touristy places. Carla offered to make arrangements for transfer from the airport to the apartment if we would have needed it. She did make restaurant reservations for my wife and myself and even sent a text message asking if we needed further reservations.

The apartment itself is recently renovated, very clean, and nicely decorated - looks exactly like in the pictures. The location could not be any better, right in the heart of Porto. You are literally 10-15 minutes walking distance away from almost all attractions, the river front, restaurants, and bars. One of our favorite restaurants is within a one minute from the apartment. Also the metro and shuttle drop-off point is within a 10 minute walk. The area is very safe with friendly neighbors and a small store right next door that has a small selection of food and drinks.

My wife and I will definitely stay with Carla when we visit Porto again and recommend Carla to everybody.

Thank you Carla for the wonderful stay.
