Our host, Monica, was very responsive and responsible in her communications with us; receiving us personally on our day of arrival; personally guiding us through the entrance to the car park; giving us tips and ideas on where to visit in Porto and Douro Valley; and welcoming us to ask her any questions during our stay.
The apartment is in a very good location, well secured with security downstairs and has a good view of the Dragon Stadium. While it is not in the city centre, it is only a 5 minute walk to the metro (only a few metro stops to the city, not a problem at all). Good for those who don't need to stay in the buzz of the city but yet still want to be close enough to enjoy the city. The apartment is also connected to a shopping mall, which has all the services that would be most useful for travellers. As we rented a car, the apartment's private parking gives us a peace of mind about parking.
During our stay, we were also very lucky to view a soccer match between Porto FC and another club. We could see the match (also on the TV) and feel the roar of the fans from the apartment's balcony. Definitely a surprise and enjoyment for us!
The amenities in the apartment is well considered and we felt well rested and comfortable staying in the apartment.
Thank you very much, Monica!!
