Rosa is a fantastic, and very welcoming host! Her place is located in a quiet neighborhood just a quick walk from the beach. Parks, restaurants, supermarkets, downtown, and two metro stations (to Porto) are easily reachable by foot. Rosa also lent me a BiConde card (bike sharing), which I used to get around town, and to cycle along the beach from time to time—it’s a great alternative after a day on your feet. The room is comfy, and offered me more than enough storage for my clothes and stuff. Access to the kitchen, balcony, living room, bathroom, and of course the included breakfast complete the great offer! Her two cats are adorable, and funny to be around. Communication prior and during my stay was a breath. I told Rosa in advance about my allergies, and she made sure I had the right breakfast items.
To summarize, I had everything I needed, and it was extremely easy to live with Rosa, who has been always helpful and respectful. If you’re looking for a place in Vila do Conde or Porto, this is a great base to start your adventure. I’d happily come back!
