I’ve always been hesitant to stay in a “private room” airbnb and Gabriela’s was my first one. I can confidently say this is the best airbnb I have ever stayed in. Gabriela is an incredible host, the best we’ve had. She welcomed us warmly and made sure to get our contact on whatsapp to send through the best recommendations to do in Porto. While it is located on the other side of the river from the city, the bus is just a 2 minute walk (not even) that takes you straight to the city. Gabriela even told us what travel pass to get and where to buy it from to ensure we were getting the best value for our money. We were able to do everything we wanted/felt needed to do during our stay here in Porto.
The room has everything you would need and you didn’t feel like you were in someone else’s home at all. Complete privacy and very clean. There is a huge supermarket about 3 minutes walk down the road which is great if you are wanting to save a bit of money and cook at home like we did. Do keep in mind there are not a whole lot of restaurants near by that we know of, however again just a short/cheap bus ride away, we even walked right down to the river bridges where you’ll find plenty.
Excellent spot if you are interested in doing Port wine cellar tours (which is what Porto is known for).
Gabriela even drove us to the bus station in the city, and on the talk in the ride there we discovered she’d also dropped another group staying in one of her other flats to the airport that same morning.
Couldn’t recommend this stay enough!
