If there were 10 stars I would award it to Fernanda!
Check in/Check out
From start to finish, I already knew that this was going to be the best stay ever. Fernanda was extremely friendly and communicative before we even arrived, and was incredibly patient and helpful when we checked in and tried to find the apartment. She also was extremely flexible with out check out, as we had a late flight, she let us stay around in the house and leave our belongings while we went out, cleaning the area for her next guests around us.
Room
The room was very comfortable, and the whole space was modern and beautiful. It would be an apartment I wish were my own. Extremely clean as well, the place is very well taken after. There were small amenities provided that truly elevated our stay, such as a fan in the room to deal with Porto's heat. The toilet was also very modern, and very spacious. I normally always leave my toiletries in my luggage and take them out only when needed, but here I was able to treat it like my own private space and had the space to leave them out. It was exceedingly comfortable. Everything was provided for.
Overall
Honestly, words cannot do justice to our time here. Fernanda treated us more like family, sitting down and giving us recommendations, checking to see if we were ok every day, letting us know when she was back etc. Moreover, she was so so generous -- just a small comment made about the sun and sunscreen led her to search for some for us, and when she came back home with fresh organic produce, she let us freely take bread, oranges and cherries, not to mention she was open to us sharing her coffee, using the laundry machine, using the fridge and kitchen etc. My partner and I truly enjoyed this trip, and we would 100% come back again if Fernanda would have us. We already are missing Porto and Fernanda, and it feels like we made a friend instead of just staying somewhere. No one should hesitate in choosing Fernanda's place -- you will meet the most generous, warm-hearted, enthusiastic person I've ever had the blessing to meet.
