Salomé was a wonderful host and the apartment in a recently renovated historic building was beautiful, new, and well equipped, and also centrally located for exploring Porto as well as near-by locations such as Guimaraes, Gaia and Foz de Duoro, etc. She was kind enough to provide directions and suggestions for sights as well as restaurants, and even a welcome package. We really appreciate her hospitality and will not hesitate to stay at her apartment, a home-away-from-home, again if we re-visit Porto in the future.
