What can I say, this place blew me away! From the moment I walked in the door, I was all smiles. The view is absolutely breathtaking and it even smelled amazing. (I wound up tracking the scent down at a local shop and buying 3 bottles to take home with me!) The place is also impeccable. It was so clean, I can’t recall seeing a speck of dirt or dust. After a long day of travel, it was exactly what I needed. Claudia also left a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge upon my arrival which was the icing on the cake. The apartment is safe, secure, quiet with beautiful views and has an elevator. It was in a part of town that felt full of things to do but not overloaded with tourists which was wonderful. This was honestly the second best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in (the first being a tri-level house in Cape Town with a claw foot tub and private rooftop terrace so not a fair comparison lol).
Claudia and Mariana were also amazing hosts. They were very welcoming (see the bit about the chilled wine above) and asked multiple times if I was comfortable or needed anything. It was very clear that they wanted me to have the best experience possible and care about their guests.
I would 1000% recommend staying here and hope to visit Porto again soon just so I can
