Joana is truly a super host in every sense of the word. Her apartment is just as shown and described in the listing, actually it's better because she has a new couch now too. Located just walking distance from the heart of the market, it's in a safe and residential area. The apartment was super clean, with great quality bed and bath linen provided. It is done up well and feels like home. A perfect stay for two.
Joana is a warm, and friendly person who communicates very well and promptly. She was there for us when we reached and had even stocked some fruit, croissants, and juice for us - a lovely welcoming touch.
Joana was so helpful, she came across a second time at our request to help guide us through the rest of our holiday too. She gave us references of restaurants, things to do, how to plan our day at Sintra etc. She even had umbrellas available in case of rain. It was such a lovely start to our holiday to be with Joana and at her apartment. We've made a new friend in Porto :-). If you want a truly enjoyable experience in Porto - go stay at Joana's place. If I go back to Porto, it's the only place I'd want to stay too.
