My short stay with Manuel and his family was fantastic. From the very beginning upon my arrival to Porto (where Manuel picked me up at the train station) all the way until I was dropped off at the airport, I had a great time in Portugal.
The room and his whole apartment mirror the pictures posted to a tee: Extremely large, bright, immaculately clean and tidy. The room and private bathroom could rival the best of hotels.
However what makes staying at Manuel's place wonderful is his attention to customer satisfaction and the genuine care and concern he has for his guests. I took advantage of his 'A Day in Porto' service and was not disappointed.
From a full-spread typical Portuguese lunch with his family, to a full afternoon of sight-seeing and taking in of the city of Porto (Manuel pretty much drove me around the whole city!), and a souvenir video- the value cannot be beat. Even after a full day of touring around the city, Manuel offered to take me out to sample a Franceisnha.
The breakfast with Teresa's homemade jams was the perfect way to start the day. She is a wonderful cook.
I got the chance to get to know Manuel over the course of my 2 days in Porto. He is very passionate and proud about his country and his family.
If you want to have a 5-star experience in the picturesque city of Porto, Manuel's is the place to be.
Manuel and Teresa, thank you for your hospitality!
