We met Hugo (host) at the apartment and had a great stay! The place was truly as described: clean, spacious and with excellent views of the river. My husband and I quickly fell in love with Porto that very day.
His place is one of the few apartments with an elevator, and we are thankful! All other apartments in lisbon required carrying luggage to >2 flights of stairs (torture). His apartment security system and amenities were state of the art: air conditioning and key code entry system.
He was very helpful with getting us settled into the apartment and explained everything in detail! (Which we are so glad he did because most items were either in Portuguese or we were not familiar with using). He made recommendations and suggestions for food and site seeing. Lots of options in Porto!
It was easy to get to his place by taxi. Commute not highly recommended since the place is by the river and going down looooong flights of stairs. Wineries close by on the opposite side of the bridge (Gaia) and sunsets were breathtaking! Induction stove, hot water shower and washer in apartment.
Muito obrigado Hugo!
