Joao's family home in Porto served as the perfect home for me and my family during our five day stay in the city. The house is large with three well-sized bedrooms (all with windows) and several common spaces. We loved the large kitchen and dining that served as our common family space for these days. It's got great character with wooden floors and traditional tiles along all the walls.

The house is located in a safe, residential quarter of the city that is a bit of a walk from the riverside but easily accessible to other places by the Metro. Joao was a very communicative and pleasant host, answering our queries patiently over whatsapp and making sure he was there to welcome us on the first day.

I'd heartily recommend this place if you wanted to stay in a quiet, non-touristic part of Porto and come back to a homely place every night.
