We stayed at Alfonso's apartment for 9 nights, and thought the location was excellent - great neighborhood and easy to walk to many different sights, restaurants, etc. Alfonso was an attentive host - he was easy to communicate with before our trip, kept in touch during our stay, and provided great suggestions and tips for our time in Porto. He clearly wanted to ensure his guests had a great trip.

Alfonso has done a lot of work renovating the space. For us, it might have been better for a short visit, as the space and furnishings were basic and the space was quite tight for a 9-day stay, but it was clean and met our needs. This tight apartment would be challenging for those with mobility issues or who have difficulty with steps, and might be a challenge for those with small children unless there were baby-gates for the steep stairways. But the 3 bedrooms were a decent size, mattresses were comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked. We were there in April, and definitely relied on the space heaters Alfonso had in the apartment.

We had a wonderful time in Porto and appreciate all that Alfonso did to help with our trip. We loved the location and the city!
