An absolutely wonderful experience. Joao's place is a gem, located above the bustling riverfront, with a bird's-eye view of the Ponte de D. Luis and both sides of the river. The apartment is spacious and stylish, with comfortable furniture and an interesting decor. It's a place that would be easy to spend lots of time in. Joao's place is very well appointed--all appliances you'd need are there, and supplies are plentiful.

The location is excellent, and it's easy to get into the city center as well as the riverfront.

Joao was a wonderful host. He picked us up at the train station and provided plenty of information about Porto and other sights and attractions in the area. We found his advice to be very useful and valuable, and we really appreciated his enthusiasm as a host and as an advocate for his excellent city.
