Ten days in Porto and I have so much to thank Jose and this Airbnb for being the perfect home to come back to after a long day of exploring!
Even better than the photos, the flat is amazingly equipped, from all types of tools & equipment in the kitchen (as a professional chef, I was very grateful for this) to speedy wifi with Netflix, as well as the comfiest bed & couch ever. Loved opening the floor-to-ceiling indoor shutters to a beautiful view of the Cathedral and even staying on a busy street, I just felt so comfortable + safe (especially as a solo traveler) and it was still pretty quiet!
Jose was incredibly helpful and super communicative and I appreciated his pre-trip messages giving me a heads up on potential COVID restrictions I could run into, upon arriving in Portugal. On my second day, the water in the building unexpectedly shut off and Jose, right away, went into fix-it mode and did everything he could to keep me updated, provided me options, and made sure that my stay was as trouble-free, as possible. Thankfully, it came back pretty shortly -- and again, I'm super grateful for Jose for being proactive, accommodating and so helpful!
Convenient to the city center (Bonfim) and all its attractions, but still a peaceful retreat, I can't imagine anywhere else I'd rather stay in Porto. Obrigado!
