Manuel is a nice guy. Friendly and willing to offer you a great time. He knows a lot about the city, since he was born there. His apartment is a good 20min uphill walk from the southern shore of the Douro, but the view from his living room is great! Unfortunately he got hold up, so we had to wait outside for 1.5 hours before he could open his home to us. After arriving he apologized a thousand times. The room is very spacious and clean and has its own bathroom with a bath. Manuel gave us rechargeable metro tickets and an elaborate description of all the attractions of the city.
