This place is absolutely amazing! The backyard has an absolutely stunning view of the river, with a huge grass area and table to hangout on. There is even a mini kitchen in the yard you may utilize. Communication with Fred and Maria was outstanding, and they were always available for assistance when needed. Not knowing a lot about porto, the location was excellent. It is close to all the attractions and sits on a lovely old street. Fred gave us excellent restaurant recommendations and even made the reservations for us. We requested a non-tourist seafood restaurants which was incredible one night, then wanted to have an authentic Portuguese meal. When we showed up to the local Portuguese restaurant (5 minute walk from the house) it was packed with locals, so we were very excited we had the reservation. You know the food was going to be good, because Fred and Maria were also there having dinner! While the apartment was very clean, modern, and beautiful, the true standout was having such lovely hosts. This was the type of experience that makes Airbnb so special. Thanks so much Fred and Maria!
