We had a great time in Oporto, mostly thanks to João’s suggestions. He was so helpful, friendly and welcoming. The apartment is really centrally located and there’s lots around it if you don’t feel like walking to the city center (about a 15 minute walk). The apartment itself is clean but very basic, though it has everything you need if you just want a place to stay. The only thing I would make note of is that he rents three other rooms, so it’s likely you’ll be sharing all the common areas with other guests.. unfortunately ours weren’t very understanding that they weren’t the only ones in the apartment. Other than that we had a great time, and João was the absolute best host!
