Seriously, one of my most favorite Airbnb apartments I've stayed at!!! A very modern, stylish, and beautiful apartment in a new building, in the heart of a perfect neighborhood in Porto.
Diogo and Daniela are wonderful host. In fact, they were soooooo helpful as I had an issue on the day I arrived. I'd left my luggage in an automated locker at the Trindade Station. I had landed at 7am and was heading out on a day trip at 8:30 am to the Douro Valley. When I got back at night, I realized that I could only retrieve my luggage out of the locker using coins, and NOT cash or credit card (not an option, no slots for these). I had plenty or Euro notes on me, and a few credit cards. And, there wasn't a change machine around. So, I was stuck at 8:30pm at night trying to figure this out. The coffee shop near the lockers had closed, so I ran up to the upper level of the station, as was able to get €5 in coins from another coffee shop there that was closing, I needed a total of €12.90. I then exited the station, to go across the street to the only other two shops that were open...a pharmacy and a restaurant. They weren't able to give me coins for cash. I didn't not know where to go next, as there was nothing in sight around the station. I called my hosts, and Diogo without hesitation said he would come meet me, and bring me the additional change I needed, and to just stay at the station. Within minutes he was there, and we were able to get my luggage, and walk over to the apartment. Such a relief!!! Side note: if you do need to use the luggage lockers at the station, make sure you go to a bank during the day, and get coin change. And it maybe a lot of coin change, depending on how many hours/days you leave it for, as it's the only form of payment accepted :)
More importantly, loved the apartment -- from the fantastic layout, big windows, private patio, decor to the neighborhood. Great restaurants, cafe's and boutiques all around. A few spots to mention are Nola Cafe down the street that has a super healthy menu, including delicious oat/almond milk lattes, and O Diplomata, a well known breakfast/brunch spot.
I would highly recommend staying at Diogo and Daniela's apartment, and hope to be back there myself on a future visit to Porto.
