The apartment is amazing, as beautiful if not better than seen in the photos. It has a very homely and comfortable feel.
Barbara is an amazing host who welcomed us on the first day and showed us around the house including sharing about the nice places to explore and dining options. She prepared a list of nearby affordable dining options which was really good. Moreover, she prepared her homemade strawberry marmalade for us to try which tastes great as well as two bottles of port wine to give us an experience of the famous port wine from Gaia.
On the last day, we had to leave for the airport at 6am due to our early flight. We asked Barbara where we could get a cab and she immediately took the initiative to get us a taxi to pick us up at our apartment. That made us really touched and thankful for her extra effort. It was truly a lovely experience and we would highly recommend it. Will be back when we revisit Porto :)
