If you are looking for a friendly environment, this is the place for you.
Our stay was amazing. It's the little touches that count, Suzana and Bernardo are amazing people with beautiful souls, they are so much more than just AIRBNB Hosts, they are well educated, fun and very thoughtful.
The accommodation was very clean, and looked better than in the pictures, we had everything we needed.
In the kitchen we had a stove, a microwave, kettle, fridge,tea, sugar,salt and pepper, cutlery, plates,bowls and pans.
Towels were provided, the bedding was very clean.
The house itself was very comfortable, even if there were 28*C outside the house's temperature was just perfect.
Our accommodation was one out of 4(I Believe) houses that are up on AirBNB, we had amazing neighbours with whom we spent some time together.
Surf Lessons were provided by Bernardo, the equipment was included in the lesson price as well as the transport, everyday he would check the waves on different apps, as well as physically on the beach, to ensure that where we are going the waves are going to be appropriate for surfing, he is a very good surf teacher and he is very dedicated to his job as well as patient with completely beginners like myself. My friend was intermediate at surfing and he's told me that from all the surf teachers he has ever Bernardo was the best and we both learned so much from him.
Suzana greeted us every morning sharing tips about what's best to visit, we would have a little chat every morning before we would leave and longer chats every evening. We went to dine with Suzana and Bernardo as we really enjoyed their company, I was looking for a Latino Party but during these times (Covid19) these were hard to find, however they ensured I get the closest thing possible to a latino party, which makes me appreciate them even more as they were so thoughtful.
They took us to the best place in Porto to see the sunset and take some pictures, I must say it was the best sunset I have ever seen and the pictures looked amazing. They also took us around Porto and talked us through the history of the Town as well as to Afurrada, which if I m correct it's a well known fisher village. They ensured we ate at the best places to get most of the Portuguese experience we were looking for.
We discussed about going to a Pastry Cafe, however we couldn't go anymore as we had a slight change of plans for that specific day, when we arrived back to the accommodation Suzana was waiting for us with cakes from the shop, a very thoughtful gesture. She checked with us everyday to see if we are doing ok and are enjoying our trip and making the most of it, I didn't see her as a regular host, but more as a friend, she even baked us some traditional pastries.
I have absolutely enjoyed staying there more than I have enjoyed staying in any hotel. Even though I do not like to go in the same place twice, I enjoyed my stay there so much that I would really love to go back next year. Thank you Suzana and Bernardo, you are amazing people with beautiful souls, me and my friend had a really great time there and we really enjoyed your company.
