My parents and I had a great stay at Amalia's apartment in Porto at the beginning of August. From the moment I got in touch with her on airbnb, Amalia was prompt and helpful in her responses. Initially communication was a slight problem, since Amalia's English is basic, and unfortunately, I don't know any Portuguese. But on meeting her, we realised we had a third common language - French! After that, we got on like a house on fire!

The apartment is exactly as advertised, clean and spacious, with lots of light. The kitchen is big and well-equipped; truly a delight to work in! The couch in the living room would be more comfortable for one person than for two.
There is a supermarket 5 minutes away, and the metro Casa da Musica is about 2 minutes from the apartment, and most of the places you will want to visit are less than 15 minutes away on Porto's amazingly modern metro network!

Amalia is a truly warm and friendly person! On arrival in Porto, we got out of the wrong exit at the metro, and couldn't find our way, so she came to pick us up in her car and brought us to the apartment! She then showed us around, and gave us lots of tips on how to plan our stay and sightseeing! We did the Douro valley by train on her recommendation, and it was great!!

I recommend Amalia and her apartment highly!
