Christina went out of her way to meet my husband and I. Turns out that we know a lot of people together--so funny to meet someone in Porto who knows so many people I know in North Carolina! She left some snacks for us,including fruit and olives, and a map of Porto for us. The apartment was clean and beautiful. She is a lovely host, gracious and warm and very happy to share this beautiful city with her guests. There is a beautiful porch view over the Duaro River, just as it meets the ocean. Could sit there for hours.
