Manuela is a great host and directly helped my partner and I have an amazing experience. The welcoming was incredibly warming and she had a map for us ready with all the points if interest marked off. Communication was easy through a mixture of English Spanish and understanding some Portuguese. Her son was a pleasure to chat with, like everyone else in the family, and spoke a good amount of English. The family really bent over backwards to ensure our stay and experience was optimal. The room and bathroom was clean and you get your own bathroom. The apartment is part of a new looking building and is in a quiet area but conveniently situated from everything, 5 minute walk to metro which goes everywhere , and 15 minute walk to center area. This is a great value for the room and highly recommend staying with Manuela and her family. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with her again on my next visit to beautiful Porto. Thank you Manuela.
