My wife and I were firm believers that one shouldn’t spend too much time in an AirBnB while vacationing. Our views were changed during our stay at Claudia’s place. From the moment we walked in we were blown away by its design and functionality; literally every inch of space was thoroughly thought out. It was immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed (maybe this is because she is an architect/interior designer and going to college for it). Not to mention the view - a balcony overlooking traditional Portuguese homes to the Douro River. She used high end finishes and added multiple amenities like brand new large appliances and security access codes. She went above and beyond. We were surprised by the overall quality given such a low price.
As far as hostesses go - it would be impossible to give Claudia anything less than 5 stars. The effort she put into her interior design she also puts into her hospitality. She personally met us in front of the home to introduce us to the space. Afterwards she poured over a map of Porto with us, going over her favorite restaurants and main attractions. She responded immediately to messages and continued to go above and beyond by offering to book a taxi for us and answering all of our questions with a great attitude.
If you are still researching where to stay in Porto, you can safely stop your search and book Claudia’s place without any risk. I am sure her other homes are just as good. Book Claudia - you won’t regret it.
