If you are looking to experience Porto not just as a tourist but from everyday life, Zhiang’s place is perfect.
It is located an easy walk to public transportation, though the city is so walkable that you can access most everything by foot.
Located just outside of the tourist hustle and bustle, Zhiang’s place offers a comfortable haven to relax from a busy day of activity. My wife and I stepped into a local hangout to take in a football (soccer) match on TV. Before the night was through, the locals were buying us rounds of drinks, having us try different desserts they had ordered, taking group pics with us ... truly one of the experience highlights of our trip! This is more of a neighborhood experience than a tourist experience, yet close enough to access everything - just what we wanted!
Adam and Zhiang are absolutely the best Airbnb hosts we’ve ever had. Adam’s response time is so quick and the list of recommendations on what to see, Portuguese dishes to be sure to try, places to shop, and places to eat (with different price points) is the most complete write-ups of any we have ever received at any Airbnb. Truly the gold standard.
The kitchen is well-equipped, the living room is comfortable, and the room is wonderful. Large closets allow forfor you to “spread out”. The room is comfortable. The bathroom is fully equipped with soap, shampoo, Nice fluffy bath towels, and even hair dryers!
Zhiang even made us dinner one night though no other guests were around to join in. His cooking was incredible!
