We had a great time at this apartment. Jose is a natural host, friendly, helpful, interested and interactive. He connected very well with our teenage sons. Check in process was easy and Jose was accommodating with our flexible arrival time given that we were driving to Porto. He was extremely helpful in helping us decide what we wanted to do with our time in Porto, had good recommendations for eating out or places to visit that were off the 'main' things to do. The apartment though on the small size, was perfect for our family of four. It is exactly as described, the beds were comfortable, it was nice having a separate room for the kids, and the kitchen is thoughtfully organized, and there are both grocery stores and parking garages in easy reach. The location is perfect, on a street with a couple of bars and restaurants and around the corner from many more. The main sights were within easy walking distance.
Personally, Jose is very kind and generous. He called to let us know that we had left a jacket behind and offered to drive to the airport to return it. When he found out that I had broken my leg sightseeing in a neighboring town and was in hospital he was extremely solicitous and offered to help in any way he could.
