My friend and I had the great pleasure to spend one night at Manuel's in Porto.

Due to the general strike in Portugal, on the day that we were scheduled to fly in, we had to change our plans and take a bus from Lisbon. We texted Manuel and he offered to meet us at the bus station and take us to his home. His willingness to do that on such short notice was really kind. And not only that, but for a very reasonable price he picked us up from the bus and also drove us to the airport when we departed.

The apartment was lovely with incredible views of the city! Our room was large and clean with a huge comfortable bed. Breakfast in the morning was also great.

The best part for sure for us however was Manuel's help with what to do and see in Porto. We did not have a lot of time in Porto, but with Manuel's incredible knowledge of the city he was able to quickly tell us exactly what to see and how to get there. He brought out maps and drew out a perfect circuit of places we should go. The circuit finished at a wonderful little restaurant he recommended with great and affordable food!

We highly recommend staying here for anyone planning to visit Porto!
