Gabriela’s cabin is a wonderful place away from the bustle and noise that one is likely to find in Porto. However, it’s conveniently located a few hundred feet from a Pingo Doce grocery store and Gabriela’s kitchen can cater to most every need you’ll have.
The cabin is exquisitely clean and well lit both in the day and night. Her collection of incandescent lamps really made the place into a cozy dwelling at night time.
I was a big fan of the large, medium firm bed. As an aging traveler, I found the bed to be exactly what my back and hips needed for a decent night’s rest.
Outside the cabin, you are rewarded with your own spacious patio which has several well kept plants. The patio leads to a nice quaint yard and two chickens that seem to enjoy their own housing unit. They will greet you upon entry, but take a break to sleep at night.
Last, but not least, Gabriela is there for you. Should you need anything, her excellent comprehension of English(French and German) really helped me better understand the local area and the culture as a whole. She’s not just a Super Host, but should have the well deserved title of Queen Host.
