What a great few days in Porto! Joana was the perfect host. Communication pre-arrival was attentive and clear. The apartment is only a few minutes walk from Sao Bento train station and Joana was there waiting for me with the keys. The apartment is located in a lively street full of shops, cafes, and some of the best restaurants in town and walking distance from nearly everything worth seeing in the city center. The apartment itself was perfectly clean, roomy, and with the balcony, high ceilings, and artsy window designs i'd say luxurious with a homey touch, especially considering the affordable prices. Did i mention the extremely comfortable bed? It's no wonder she is such a great host as it seems to run in the family. Joana's sister had left a two sided page of tips and suggestions for restaurants, must see sights, wine tasting venues, nearby towns to visit and much more. To top it all off Joana's mother owns a small cafe just down the street where breakfast is offered included with your stay. (Best buttered homemade toast and pastries in town!). Porto has plenty to offer when it comes to delicious local food but for my final lunch i had to come back to Joana's mothers cafe for a delicious veggie soup and the famous bolinhas de bacalhao. All in all 100% great hosts. Will definitely book with them again on a next visit!
