Joaquim and his wife, Eduarda were such warm, thoughtful, and friendly hosts. They picked me up from the bus station and offered to drop me off to the bus/train station to go to my next destination, but I decided to stay in Porto another night and sadly their place was already booked.
They can't speak English, but their daughter Patricia in Ireland does a great job communicating on Airbnb for them. Despite the language barrier, they were great at the check in process showing me how to use the keys and around the place.
There was a large bowl of fruits, biscuits, and bread on the counter. The fridge was stocked with two bottles of wine, plenty bottles of water, pop, orange juice, two kinds of pork sandwich meat, cheese, beer, and cider. The best part is they have a large backyard garden with a chicken coop so there were fresh eggs, tasty sweet plums, lettuce, herbs, onions, etc. I stayed for 4 nights and they kept leaving more food for me hanging on the entry door. They even invited me to share in an extended family lunch of traditional Portugese food.
They have travel plug adapters if you happened to have forgotten yours. There is also use of a non-smartphone in case you need to contact the host.
The kitchen is fully stocked to cook in. I think I was their first guest they have ever had and I gave them some suggestions for things they were missing. They got it within hours.
The bed is comfortable and warm. The internet was fast and had great reception. I loved having access to a free washer and laundry soap is provided.
The location is only a kilometer or 15 minutes walk to the Estádio do Dragão. It is just over 20 minutes by train to the city center at Avenida dos Aliados.
One thing to note is you must be able to climb a set of stairs to get to the place.
I highly recommend staying at Joaquim's apartment.
