I enjoyed having Tina as a host.
She greeted me with open arms and some delicious port wine.
We talked quite a bit as she asked me questions about what I wanted to see and do while in Porto.
And she provided me with a number of links to various tourist destinations, restaurants, and other places for me to visit suited to my specific interests.
I even met one of her friends and we had a lovely conversation over more wine.
The location of her home was easily accessible by bus and was within walking distance of a supermarket and restaurants. For those who enjoy walking like myself, the historic center of Porto was an easy walk of about 30 -45 minutes. And going in the other direction about 20 minutes to the ocean and another 30 mins or so to the beach in Matosinhos.
