My stay at NorteSoul Porto à Vista was absolutely wonderful. We travelled from the airport by local bus £2 euros per person. We had a lovely message from Eduardo once we had arrived and a courtesy message first thing as we arrived at the airport. Eduardo was a very good host communicating throughout the booking process, and indeed when we arrived. We had communication through what’s app as I agreed I like this method of communication. Eduardo wanted to ask if we had a great flight and what our eta was to arrive to the property. Eduardo phoned me to ask me as I didn’t see his messages to if I was ok and did I have any problems finding the property. I apologised and said I was on my way to find the property Eduardo was keen to pick up the phone and ask me was I ok finding it and gave me directions as I had traveled previously to Porto but stayed top end near the colosseum. Eduardo wanted to meet us at the property. But our mums was taking their time waking, taking in sights etc looking at shops etc. So we agree Eduardo would come to meet us again another time during our stay. Eduardo came twice to see us. We was delighted after our walk to be welcomed by a very easy entry to our property. And when we saw the view we thought wow this doesn’t disappoint and was just as stunning as we all imagined. We looked around and found the fridge Eduardo has left us a bottle of water and a lovely bottle of wine. We was so pleased as we was hot and tired and this was a welcomed treat we wasn’t expecting. Eduardo’s place is really homely, the heating is exceptionally good, as we took both are mums and they both really feel the cold, blankets are in abundance, extra duvets and extra bed linens and the really warm type which are brilliant when it’s extra cold. Though they wasn’t needed. The kitchen is well equipped microwave coffee machine, hob to cook things and glasses etc cutlery etc, kitchen roll, cleaning cloths antibacterial spray etc. There’s an international charging plug to as we stupidly forgot ours. Eduardo was the best host! I was worried about mum as she hadn’t been well before we came away. I spoke to Eduardo by what’s app many times in the evening maybe 6 times asking questions about the charger as we forgot ours and also about mum asking Eduardo about hospital directions phone numbers and accident and emergency, ambulance numbers Eduardo was super helpful and gave me all the information which was a great comfort. There are fresh towels, two bathrooms two great showers. There is hand wash and in the shower shower gels which is lovely. The beds are comfortable and the storage is good though our stay was short so I kinda lived out my little suitcase. The house is in an excellent location. The lounge is comfortable and is lovely sitting there taking in the view. We used the table at breakfast and it was perfect for us, there was 4 of us in our party. The house is easy to find. You simply find the train station and Cathedral and as you stand with your back to the train station and look to your left there’s a hill once you go up the hill you can walk on the bridge to the other side. We chose the lower level of the bridge. The lower bridge is being upgraded so a little part of it is screened to protect anyone from getting dust or debris. Though you can in parts still see the amazing view. Porto since 2019 when I was last there seems like it’s growing and having many buildings and road modifications. Though this wasn’t a problem to us at all. I was pleased to see Porto booming and bouncing back after covid. Eduardo gave us when asked some great suggestions to where to eat. Be careful when ordering food some restaurants offer bread entree’s and don’t tell you how much they are! And they unfortunately aren’t complimentary, also agree a price to something if they offer to make something. I say ask, I didn’t and English coleslaw was made to perfection but was £7.00 so not cheap. So my tip would be stick to the meals on menu and if someone brings something you didn’t order ask how much us this ? I did suggest to the said restaurant they should be more transparent with the costs etc. We had though wonderful food. I really like the place fabrique de Nata I found at least two of these coffee shops and everything is lovely! And very reasonable. I asked Eduardo where to get the wine he bought us and he happily got us the wine! Eduardo is such a good host. I bought two bottles of port but sadly had them confiscated due to you should only buy Alchohol you are going to consume in Porto from Porto. You can’t take local stuff back home even sealed unless it’s 100ml bottles. I feel I understand why, but the Porto airport didn’t get any of my money because of this ( confiscating of the 2 bottles of port) I thought I’m not going to now purchase anything from the airport. They do though suggest you can give it to someone but you have to go back out and use your boarding pass to go back into airport. I didn’t do this though as didn’t want to risk missing my flight. My holiday to Porto was amazing everyone you saw had smiles on their faces and the service in restaurants was really good. Eduardo is a super host and I can’t wait to go back to NorteSoul Porto à vista it was a lovely place clean homely and perfectly placed in Porto for a super holiday/break.10 out of 10 😊🙌🏻😎thank
