Our first time in Portugal and we could not have made a better choice to stay at Sofia's. A gorgeous apartment on one of the prettiest and entertaining streets of Porto, close to many attractions, restaurants and shops that one can walk to comfortably.
The listing was accurately represented with photos - all amenities, decor and design were excellent and comparable to a 4 star hotel. The bed linen was fresh with plentiful plump pillows/cushions and the softest and largest of bath sheets for a well earned rest and relaxation after a day out enjoying the city. The shower water pressure was fantastic and the quaint balcony is great for taking in the atmosphere of Porto.
The WiFi was fast and there was Netflix to enjoy! The kitchen was well equipped with new appliances and super clean. The apartment is also extremely secure with entrance locks and high quality solid locks for the apartment. One really reassuring thing to note was the fire-blanket, fire extinguisher and advice on what to do/who to call in case of emergencies.
Sofia and Fatima as hosts were very communicative and responded promptly to all our queries. Carlos, the driver they arranged, is the best person to meet us at the airport - a true gentleman who is one of the lovely people we have met in Porto. A wonderful way to start our holiday.
Sofia and Fatima themselves went above and beyond when our flight was cancelled at short notice due to the Covid-19 situation. They gave a free night's stay at the apartment whilst we waited for another flight. Their generosity and kindness in times of stress means a lot to us and this makes them superheroes as well as super hosts - a true reflection of the warm Portuguese hospitality we have enjoyed at the recommended places from Sofia's list.
Bravo! and Thank you so much! We had an awesome time.
