My wife and I were greeted by a wonderful family of three, Manuel+Emerlinda+Pedro(son), when we arrived. Emerlinda speaks fluent French, and Pedro speaks fluent English. They were so gracious in welcoming us, and introducing us to their hometown over a glass of Port. They even left us with a bottle of red wine and cookies. Never had an entire family welcome us to their home with all our years doing airbnb. Felt like our own relatives, honestly!
We were also impressed by Manuel's custom travel guide, prepared with surgical military precision, complete with GPS coordinates, and aerial map views.
We also visited Guimaraes on Manuel's recommendation. Tried their favorite grilled chicken restaurant nearby, too. Just amazing!
Neighborhood is in a very safe and welcoming location with no tourists around.
Free street parking, washer, dishwasher. We ate in for most evenings here. No sweat with the well equipped kitchen.
Overall, one of the best Airbnb places we have ever stayed. Super big, peaceful backyard seating, sparkling clean to the extreme -- you could literally eat off the floor of the back porch.
