Both David and Antonio were incredibly helpful. Antonio met my friends with no problems and spent half an hour going over a map with them, recommending cheap and nearby places to eat etc. Each recommended place was amazing and we really felt like we were eating with the locals. On the last day, David let us stay in the apartment after check-out as no one else was arriving that day, which was very useful. We emailed them with a few questions during our stay and they always replied promptly, and even came and fixed the television for us one evening.
The apartment itself was really nice and amazing value for money. The balcony with views over Porto and the River Douro is a winner. All the beds were extremely comfortable, everything was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed and we really liked the furniture and decorations.
The location was also perfect - we were right in the old town and everything felt very authentic, plus all the main sights were just a short walk away.
Brilliant first experience with Airbnb - will definitely be using again!
