Wonderful Experience, Wonderful Owners
Jorge and Manuela were amazing hosts! We stayed as their guests for 5 weeks. When we arrived, we were greeted by Jorge who gave us a map with areas/restaurants/things to do marked. We were also greeted with champagne, wine, port, fresh fruits, and chocolates!The area was close to the city center, churches, Ribeira, Gaia (for port tastings), and the shopping areas, which was an ideal location for walking and exploring. We did not realize what a foodie area Porto was and we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurants that you could walk to were amazing.This apartment was very spacious, especially by European standards, and exceptionally well stocked. Jorge and Manuela made sure that we had everything we could possibly need. We stayed for 5 weeks and they had the apartment cleaned every week which was so nice! The beds were very comfortable. Bedrooms are split providing privacy from each other. There are stairs as stated in the listing. Americans would do well to remember that in America (except NY as far as I know) we count the ground floor as 1. In Europe it is usually counted as 0. Therefore there were more stairs than we expected but they were easy to traverse. When we travel back to Porto, these owners would be our first choice of properties to return to visit. Their pride of ownership shows, not only in the property, but in the hospitality.Thank you Jorge and Manuela for making our stay so memorable!
