The weather in Portugal unfortunately at the time of our stay was bucketing rain so it made our drive a little slower with road conditions and traffic. We were able to find the location easily enough, and Joao had ever so patiently waited for us despite being delayed. He was so gracious and his apartment was impressive as well as large. Immaculately clean as well. We had all we needed at our disposal. The rain deterred us from being able to venture too far, however the location was perfect. Supermarket, fruit shop just down stairs and a short walk to the train station to Oporto. We enjoyed our time - just relaxed and appreciated his lovely accommodation. No fault of the host if the weather is poor!!!
