João is an excellent host. He made us feel comfortable and welcome from the very beginning of our stay. He sat down with us and gave us a lot of recommandations on what to see and where to go during our time in Porto. Since he is a local he can also give you addintional information on what is going on in Porto during your time there. It is definitely great to have someone to turn to if there are any questions open about the stay or the city itself and João is very eager to make your time in Porto as great as it can get. We were in contact even prior to our journey, which gave us a good feeling in advance.
The appartment itself is located perfectly if you want to explore the city by foot. It is located close to the Douro river and also close to a lot of sights you would want to visit! So during our four days in Porto, the only time we needed to ride the Metro was to and from the airport. The walk from the Metro station to the appartment is also not far (maybe 5-7 minutes) so easy to handle with luggage! The backery, where you can buy fresh bread buns and a variety of pastries, and a small minimarket, are located right around the corner from the appartment, which is an bonus too! The appartment was clean when we arrived and had everything we needed while we were there. Inclundig towels, hairdryer, fully equipped kitchen, etc. We were three people staying at Joãos Apartment, but it would even be big enough for four!
Defintitely the place you would want to stay while you are in Porto!!
