Imagine a luxury boutique hotel in the heart of the city with swanky decor and style now add Teresa’s hosting magic to that and the result: one of my best stays I’ve had anywhere in the world! This is seriously a very special place & I am very lucky I found it for my trip. Upon booking, Teresa immediately reached out with details on the Airbnb and made herself available for any questions. Communication leading up to my stay was easy and she always quickly responds. She met me for check-in with a huge smile and greeted me with a homemade chocolate cake coupled with a decanter of port. Talk about an amazing and personable welcome to Porto; this is hospitality exemplified. She gave me a tour of the apartment and went over insider tips of the city with me on a city map [she provided]. She also shared a stack of Porto tour books and magazines to review & hemp plan my adventures. I felt an instant connection to her and we had a nice, meaningful conversation about the world today. After she left and as I explored the apartment more, I realized there were freshly cut flowers throughout the unit. It was incredibly sparkly clean and smelled fabulously fresh. It was hard to leave the place to explore because it was so warm, cozy & inviting! I had an amazing time in Porto; this city is filled with beauty and magical moments await you down every alley and up every hill. This is truly a town to walk, wander, get lost and find yourself again. Throughout the stay, Teresa checked in with me a few times and it was obvious this isn’t just a business to her but it’s an extension of herself, her cultures and brings her true joy. Her energy and passion is both palpable and contagious. I highly recommend you book this apartment in Porto with Teresa. You will leave with a full heart and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you, Teresa! I hope to return one day soon! ❤️
