First of all, Joaquim is a very kind and thoughtful host. He speaks both French and English. We stayed at Joaquim's beginning of July. Joaquim's apartment was very clean and very well located. 5 minutes by walk from Alameda mall, 10 minutes max by walk from the metro station. The apartment is just near FC Porto stadium giving you an amazing view. We arrived before check-in time and arranged with Joaquim to leave our luggages at his place. You have a survival guide of Porto and Joaquim will give you all the tips to feel at ease and enjoy your trip in Porto. You can contact him via WhatsApp and ask him whatever you want. We had an amazing time.
