We had a great experience, Joaquim and his wife are wonderful hosts. They gave us fresh eggs and plums as well as other treats. Joaquim was very responsive, we asked where we could find a map and within a short time we had a handful of maps of Porto and Portugal. We've experienced B&B's which are one of many owned by a business or individual who hire property managers to run them. While they're fine as a place to stay they lack the personal touches and the feeling of what a B&B should be. It was refreshing to experience the warmth and hospitality we felt from Joaquim and his wife. We left with more eggs from his chickens, plums from his tree and a plant from his garden.
The apartment is about a 5 minute walk from the bus or metro which took us downtown and we found very convenient.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.
