I travel alot, and I am a professional Innkeeper/owner of a small Inn in California. I know a good accommodation when I stay at one, and THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC !!!
In addition, I too am a "Super Host" for Airbnb, so when I say that staying in this beautiful apartment was the best of "3" airbnb accommodations I was lucky to find on my recent visit to Portugal...I mean it!!!! Filomena could not have been a more loving, caring host. I arrived on Christmas evening, and knowing there were not many options to find a store or restaurant open, she had some snacks prepared for me in the refrigerator. After getting to know the neighborhood, transportation etc...I found it easy to get to the historic center by bus each day. On one ocassion, I walked the whole distance, because it was such a delight, and a easy 30 minute stroll of countless stores of window shopping! Walking to Bolhao market was only 6 minutes max, and 4 minutes to the bus line that went to the historic district. I booked a city tour with Cooltours (I highly reccommend this tour company) and the guide/van picked me up right at the curbside of the square where the apartment was located. Don't hesitate, and book your stay with Filomena quickly, before the dates are gone. If ever in Porto again, I will return to stay with Filomena.
