Neighborhood Overview: We are in the oriental area of the town but, Porto is not very wide and has good transportations so, everything is not far away. Our neighborhood don't have much to offer regarding leisure but, for futebol lovers F. C. Porto stadium is around the corner, and you can't miss a visit to F. C. Porto museum! It's the perfect refuge after an hip-hop in the city, which is right there, and when you return you can try yoga lessons at the school just next to our house. Relaxing comfortably installed in our garden, will be like staying in the countryside.
Notes: We are permanently searching for partnerships, with people and businesses, to provide interesting services and, different kind, products that can be a plus to our guests experience. By now, we have: - yoga lessons - picnic basket
Transit: Free parking, guaranteed, at the front door. The bus stop is around the corner with many buses going downtown. The subway stations "Estádio do Dragão", "Campanhã", "Rua do Heroísmo" ou "Campo 24 de Agosto" are 10 minutos walking. The Campanhã train station is close to the corresponding subway station. There are subway connection with the airport and, if using the subway station of "Campo 24 de Agosto", the buses in front of the station pass nearby our street. We are also available to provide transportation to the subway or, even the airport, for a fair price.
Access: Our guests will have, for their own, a completely independent basement, sharing with us, just the access from the front door. Remark: The ceiling has wood bars on each 1 meter and it's not vey tall; it will not be very comfortable to walk for persons taller than 1.80 mts. The wide and beautiful garden is reached by the basement and, besides we also have acces to it, during guest stays, we will do our best to become invisible. The bathroom is exclusively for the guests. The sofa-bed is huge and very comfortable. The bar is equipped with fridge, microwave, espresso&capppuccino machine, toaster and sink. On tv, there dozens of cable channels, pay-per-view access and game console. Wi-fi with internet access is coveres in the full area, including the garden. Also available for use; foosball, drum, guitars, computer, books and magazines.
Interaction: This project is based on our motivation to interact and well receive people, we just love it! Also, Porto is a passion and, we will love direct you to find the best spots of the moment and visiting our rich patrimony.
House Rules: The main rule here is common sense and, more than impose, we hope that our visitors share this same principle. Based on that, we have no restrictions about schedules we just ask to do it with elegance. We are fine with late hours talks and laughs, again, under the correct limits. You can bring your pets (*); we've had already dogs, cats and parakeets and for a while, only the neighborhood cats used to cross the garden. Recently we were adopted by Fox the dog, that just followed my son in the street on his way home! We couldn't resist! Fox is very young, so she is still learning how to behave! :) and how to not destroy the garden!!! Smoking is allowed, preferably in the garden for your own interest but, it's also allowed in the basement near the outside door. Also allowed to sing during the shower, even followed in duet with drums or guitar; it's up to you. (*) giraffes are not allowed due the small height of the basement ceiling

Reviewer: Laetitia
Comments: Le studio d'Alexandra est très agréable, vraiment bien décoré, bien équipé et très propre. Aussi, il est très agréable de profiter du sympathique jardin bien au calme. Alexandra a été fantastique avec nous, toujours très attentionnée et très bonne conseillère dans nos découvertes de la région. Et si Alexandra a été aussi parfaite, c'est certainement qu'elle tient cela de son père Antonio avec qui nous avons aussi partagé d'excellents moments ! Il nous a été difficile de quitter cette famille conviviale et cette maison !

Reviewer: Simon
Comments: Alexandra and his father Antonio are very welcoming, we were very happy to stay at their home. Alexandra and Antonio have been very thoughtful with us, giving us some advice about the city, preparing the breakfast for us.. We had some wonderful times : breakfast together in the very nice garden... About the location, very close to the metro station campanha, so very easy to access the city center. The flat is very well decorated, and the plus is the garden : this place is definitely perfect for summer :) We would advise it for sure !

Reviewer: Mark
Comments: Alexandra and her father were such wonderful hosts going out of there way to help me and my Fiancé . The experience I had living with such a fantastic family will stay with me forever. The space is large and modern with everything you could possibly require , your own door access to a magnificent garden was the icing on the cake , many days and nights were spent out there enjoying the peace and quiet of a centrally located rustic porto house. I would definitely recommend and can not wait to return :)

Reviewer: Maeva
Comments: L'appartement est vraiment très agréable, calme, décoré avec gout et propre, un jardin très mignon. Il y a tout ce dont on a eu besoin: frigo, de quoi faire un petit déjeuner... Le métro campanha qui se situe à environ 10 min à pied. Accueil est très bon: Alexandra a de multiples fois demandé si tout allait bien. L'appartement est en sous-sol et il ne faut pas mesurer plus de 1m90 car le plafond est bas. Le seul petit bémol est la salle de bain qui n'est pas hyper fonctionnelle mais c'est un détail. Le lit est le canapé mais il est confortable.

Reviewer: Marta
Comments: Estuvimos mi pareja y mi perrita estupendamente hospedados! La primera impresión del studio fué impresionante; nos impacto mucho su diseño inovador y moderno. El studio estaba perfectamente limpio y aseado con todos los detalles justos y útiles, perfectamente colocados en el lugar correspondiente, donde debían dar el uso. A la perrita le encantó el jardín, pasaba horas y horas y se excitaba mucho con el césped mojado al amanecer, no paraba de correr y revolcarse en él! Jajaja. Muy gratificante! La zona era muy tranquila y apartada de la muchedumbre. Habia muy cerca un restaurante sencillo y barato y una panaderia muy recomendable por sus bollos buenisimos! Sinceramente. Rápido se llegaba al centro y se podia disfrutar de los monumentos y visitas obligatorias en Porto. Muchas gracias Alexandra!

Alexandra est très à l'écoute de ses hôtes et son fils Gonzalo nous a accueilli parfaitement en nous donnant d'excellents conseils pour découvrir la ville de Porto. Pour ma part l'hébergement le plus sympa que j'ai eu au Portugal, je recommande vraiment cette adresse

Comments: Nous avons passé 3 nuits chez Alexandra en famille couple +bébé de 9 mois. Le séjour s est tres bien déroulé. Nos hôtes ont été d une disponibilité et d une gentillesse remarquables. Situé pres du stade de football de Porto, nous sommes à 10min de marche de la station de métro Campanha qui vous emmène au centre en 10min également. L'option bus est facile aussi. A proximité boulangerie-snack où nous pouvons dejeuner et diner. L'appartement est situé en rez de jardin. Déco design. Le canapé-lit est confortable. Sdb privée. Cuisine équipée (hormis les plaques de cuisson). Nécessaire pour le ptit dej. Le jardin est a notre entière disposition. Merci encore Alexandra et Alvarez

Reviewer: Anna
Comments: Wow, what an amazing studio apartment. It was fun, cozy, homely and practical with lots of unique and special touches. The studio apartment is exactly as described in the listing, but you really have to be in the space to appreciate it. Situated just outside the main parts of the city (we walked into the city every day but the bus and tube are close by) with free street side parking. Alexandra is an excellent host and really ensures you have a pleasant and relaxing stay in her beautiful home. We arrived to complementary snacks and a fridge stocked with supplies for breakfast. Alexandra even offered fresh bread on a morning!! The studio has access to a lovely big back garden too, which makes for a pleasant way to start the day over breakfast. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it to all couples visiting the city. I can guarantee the Sofa bed is very comfortable, we had two excellent nights sleep here.

Comments: Apartment is everything they say it is, nice and comfortable with bunch of stuff. Host are super friendly and helpful, they know their city and give you good tips where to go and what to do. Great place to stay, but not really a walking distance to the city center (have to take a bus or metro).

Reviewer: Léa
Comments: Nous avons passé deux petits jours supers chez Alexandra ! Un accueil très chaleureux qui fait que l'on se sent très vite comme chez soi. L'espace qui nous est réservé est très grand et confortable, aménagé avec beaucoup de goût; petite kitchenette bien équipée et salle de bain privée avec en plus une porte donnant sur le jardin ! De plus, Alexandra est de très bon conseil pour les visites. Nous gardons donc un très bon souvenir de notre passage dans son studio et recommandons cet endroit !

Comments: Royal! L'appartement qui nous attendait franchement on était loin d'imaginer un espace pareil!!! Venez et vous ne serez pas surpris! Quant à Alexandra et son papa, ce sont des personnes sensationnels, qui ont le sens de l'hospitalité, accueillant, toujours avec le sourire et tellement généreux... On ne se sent vraiment pas étranger. De plus, ils vous font bénéficier de toutes leurs astuces pour visiter Porto. Pour une première expérience, nous sommes ravies à 300%. En plus, ils sont situés à 10mn du métro ; accessibilité à la ville facile. L'appartement se situe au sous sol avec accès au jardin. Tout le nécessaire est prévu, jusqu'au sèche cheveux et le dentifrice. Le linge de lit et de bain est également prévu. Vraiment, allez-y sans appréhension ! Alexandra et son papa sont de vrais hôtes ; nous étions émus de repartir.

Reviewer: Clémence
Comments: We had a great stay at Alexandra and her dad, Antonio's place. We were as at our home,and it was the best way to begin our stay in Portugal in Porto. Alexandra was careful for us, and gave us the best advices as well as all the good addresses and places to visit. Our personal space was very big and had all the necessary comfort, and even more thon whatever we expected. We strongly recommend this address, and alexandra and her family were really carefull for us, as a second family. It is exceptional people and of the big kindness which we hope to see again in Paris or during a next stay in Porto.

Reviewer: Agnes
Comments: We genoten van een prachtig verblijf in Studio WBwGG en werden warm onthaald door Alexandra en haar familie. De studio is geschikt voor (kleinere) mensen, mooi ingericht en het bed is comfortabel. De gastvrouw bezorgde ons heel wat informatie om de stad te bezoeken. De communicatie verliet vlot in verschillende talen (Frans en Engels). Ze waren zeer behulpzaam en attent, bereid voor een babbel (indien gewenst) en tegelijk zeer discreet. Wij voelden ons volledig thuis bij deze warme en open mensen. De ligging is uitstekend, dicht bij metro en bushaltes en we werden zelfs afgehaald en gebracht. Ontbijt in de tuin, even drum spelen of tafelvoetbal, een uitstap in de stad of gaan surfen, het was heerlijk. Een aanrader en wij hopen hen nog eens terug te zien.

Reviewer: Michael
Comments: We had such a great time at Alexandra's place. We had a whole floor for ourself and also the garden which is really great for having a wonderful breakfast or a few cold drinks on a hot summer night. Alexandra picked us up from the train station and also showed us the city. She provided us with a list of things to do and see in Porto. Everything was perfect and we will definitely come back to her place.

Reviewer: Samantha
Comments: My boyfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Alexandra's home and would recommend that anyone coming to Porto stay here! Alexandra was so friendly and kind, and her father was very sweet and gave us some excellent suggestions for what to do and see in Porto (which was a beautiful city!). The center of the city with lots of restaurants and beautiful overlooks of the river was a ten minute metro ride away. Alexandra was happy to answer questions for us and even left us some breakfast food in the kitchen, which we got to enjoy in her beautiful garden! The room itself was beautiful and very open giving us lots of space to relax after a long day of sight seeing. Alexandra also has excellent decorating sense, which made her house seem very welcoming and happy! She also has a very sweet, energetic dog that my boyfriend and I both adored. The night we had to fly out of Porto, Alexandra went above and beyond for us. She got up at 3:30 in the morning to take my boyfriend and I to the airport, so we didn't have to take a a cab. We told her we didn't mind taking a cab, but she insisted. It was such an incredibly nice thing to do and shows what a wonderful airbnb host she is! Thank you, Alexandra!!

Idéalement placé et super propres, Alexandra offre tout le confort : frigo (avec quelques surprises qu'elle vous offre), serviettes, draps, etc. Je recommande vivement ! Les commentaires sont bien réels ! Merci encore et si nous revenons à Porto un jour c'est sûr c'est chez Alexandra que nous iront!

Comments: Alexandra's place is beautiful. The pull out couch is very comfortable and the space is nice and big. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our time there. Alexandra is amazing and very helpful. She went above and beyond, providing breakfast and even doing our laundry so we wouldn't lose any 'tourist time'. Thank you so much Alexandra! We had a wonderful time!! Highly recommend staying at Alexandra's place.

Reviewer: Guénolé
Comments: Alexandra nous à mis les "petits" plats dans les grands. Situé dans un quartier calme (abstraction des bruits de pavés) et proche du métro (Campanhoes), nous avons pu bénéficier à la fois des conseils bienveillants de notre hôte et de son jardin. Le descriptif de l'appartement est conforme à la réalité. Le petit bémol est que la douche est très proche du WC. Par ailleurs, il y à une douche sur le jardin qui est bien précieuse pour une météo estivale. Enfin, nous avons pu tout autant bavarder avec le père d'Alexandra, lui aussi francophone. Je recommande vivement.

Les hôtes savent recevoir, accueillir les gens et mettre à l'aise les gens. Ils sont très gentils, attentionnés, attachants et se préoccupent du bien être de ses locataires.

Reviewer: Fai Tong
Comments: Alexandra is a perfect host. I have never expected I would use such word but I can't find a better word to describe. When I arrived at train station under a weather of heavy rain, she drove to pick me up. Even with umbrella she was soaked and became sick on the next day. I fell very sorry about it. She is very patient and helpful. Everyday she planned a tour for me according to my condition and explained it in very details. She is considerate and took care of my needs during the stay; while she respects the privacy that she never came to the room without asking. I was stupid enough to have booked a flight in the early morning that no metro operates yet, but she was so kind to get up very early, drove her car and took me to the airport. It is an unforgettable experience. Regarding the room, it is very spacious that could let 3 people stay comfortably. It has a well-equipped kitchen area, a living-room area with sofa and table, a resting area with a huge sofa bed facing a big TV set, an office area with desk and a row of electric plugs, a music area with a complete set of jazz drums, and of course, a bathroom. The room is next to a garden which might be a great place to enjoy the spare time. Unfortunately the weather was not good during my stay so I cannot say much about it. The location is not the most convenient but good enough. By 10 min walking I can find metro stations, and within 3-min walking distance there is bus heading downtown. There is a dog in the house. She is cute and hyperactive that it would be great for pet-lover. In case one does not like dogs, Alexandra would help to separate her from the guests.

Comments: This past weekend my girlfriend and I had an amazing stay in Porto with Alexandra, she goes above and beyond expectations as a host which made for a very enjoyable experience for us. Although our arrival was delayed and later in the night it was no problem at all and she was kind enough to pick us up from the train station and she also gave us a ride early the next morning to the other side of the river for a boat tour, it's things like this that are not at all common among Airbnb hosts. She and her father were so caring and thoughtful which made us feel very comfortable as if it were our own home, her communication was perfect and she was sure to suggest places to visit in the city whether a restaurant, a bar or a historical site. All in all we had an amazing weekend in Porto and it had a lot to do with the amazing apartment and Alexandra as a wonderful host, we will most certainly be coming back to stay with Alexandra in the future. Thank you for your amazing Hospitality! Connor&Rita

We had everything that we need, and we felt absolutly comfortable and independently. The house is neat and tidy, and have alot of nice bonuses like drums, sony PS and lovely garden. Our personal space was very big, it's good for staing two people with a child (2 years old). Alexandra was careful for us, and gave us the best advices as well as all the good addresses and places to visit. We highly recommend staying here.

Comments: Ich hatte eine sehr gute Zeit in Port. Ich wurde von Alexandra an der Metro-Station herzlich empfangen. Alexandra konnte mir die wichtigsten Punkte von Porto zeigen und hat mir gute Typs für mein Wohlbefinden in Porto gegeben. Das Studio war sehr gut ausgestattet und sauber, so dass ich mich recht wohl und zu hause gefühlt habe. Obwohl das Studio nicht direkt im Zentrum gelegen ist, kann man mit der Metro das Zentrum schnell erreichen (von der Station Dragão oder Campanha aus nach Trinidade ca 7 - 10 min). Ausserhalb vom Studio im Hinterhof hat es einen sehr schönen ruhig gelegen Garten wo mal sich verweilen kann. Alexandra war eine sehr gute Gastgeberin und war sehr um mein Wohl besorgt. Ich hatte eine sehr schöne Zeit in Porto auch dank meiner Gastgeberin Alexandra.

The apartment is clean, tidy, has everything you need and is located in a nice quiet neighbourhood with proximity to local transport which gets you to the city centre in no time.

Comments: El alojamiento cumplió nuestras expectativas: todo muy cuidado, limpio, confortable...más aún de lo que puede parecer en las fotografías...y con todo tipo de facilidades para utilizar todo y sentirse cómodo. El sofá cama, a pesar de ser un sofá, es comodísimo, está muy nuevo y descansamos estupendamente en él. Además, nos gustaría destacar que el patio es una maravilla de la que pudimos disponer en todo momento en exclusividad y que Alexandra y su padre son extremadamente cuidadosos con todo, especialmente pendientes de que estuviésemos cómodos y que no hubiese ruidos. Viajábamos con una niña de 3 años que todos los días sigue preguntando por ella y Fox :-) Sin duda, si tuviese que destacar algo es que Alexandra nos cuidó en todo momento como si fuésemos amigos más que huéspedes. Los detalles son muy importantes y ellas los tuvo TODOS. Muchas gracias Alexandra, sin duda, ya sabes que si volvemos a Oporto, volveremos a ir a tu casa. Un abrazo.

Comments: Alexandra has conseguido que nosotros 3 nos sintiéramos como en casa y formando parte de tu familia a la vez . Esto no se consigue en cualquier estancia vacacional. Cuando nuestro hijo estuvo mal de la barriga, te preocupaste como si fuera tu propio hijo, eso es de mucho agradecer . El niño estuvo encantado contigo y con Fox . Y también disfrutó mucho de los partidos de fútbol y de las olimpiadas con tu padre , eran compañeros de tele. Has estado atenta en todo, para que no nos faltara nunca nada . También has sido nuestra guía en nuestras visitas a Oporto. Destacar la cercanía de la casa al centro , está muy bien comunicada con autobuses y metro. El niño aun sigue preguntando por vosotros e igual que a nosotros . Ya estamos pensando en viajar el año próximo de nuevo a Oporto ( ya sabes que se nos hizo corta la estancia ) y a Lisboa , sin duda nuestra estancia será tu casa si tienes disponibilidad. Por cierto , unos vecinos nos dijeron que les gustaría ir a Oporto y ya les recomendé tu casa . La experiencia la describimos hoy ya que ayer noche llegamos de nuestras vacaciones . Muchas gracias por todo y espero que nos volvamos a ver pronto. Besos a todos

Comments: The Host: Alexandra is a great person. She is very passionate about Porto and wants to make sure her guests are comfortable during there stay. She offers a lot of advice and is always available to answer any questions. About the place: Everything in the description / pictures is accurate. The one thing I would mention is the windows and door are located at the back of the basement so the air flow was not the best and it could get a bit stuffy. The Location: Alexandra's place is about a 10 minute walk from the Metro. It's also about a 10 minute walk to the supermarket, a 15-20 minute walk to restaurants, and a 30 minute walk to downtown.

Un mínimo bar equipado con lo imprescindible, un jardín precioso y un baño muy bonito. Decir de Alexandra que más que una anfitriona estupenda es un encanto de persona. Nos ha facilitado todo tipo de información tanto turística como gastronómica, siempre pendiente de nosotros para que no nos faltase de nada. Nos vamos encantados tanto con ella como de su padre y de Fox. Ursula ha quedado encantadisima. No os vamos olvidar. Nos llevamos de la visita a Oporto a una amiga. No os vamos olvidar Muchísimas gracias por todo otra vez Muchos besos

Comments: The main feeling after being here - delight, even a mega delight)) Alexandra is a wonderful person, very friendly and ready to help in any situation. Accommodation is clean and spacious, has a separate entrance to the garden! We had a rather late arrival, and Alexandra was waiting for us and was very friendly, showing us and telling us about all we needed)) thanks to her recommendations we found wonderful places (not described in guidebooks), just what we were looking for. Recommended restaurants - just super! I want to persistently recommend this place, here you will find not just a great place to stay, but also a new friend! Alexandra thank you very much for such a warm welcome, and I hope to see you again!

Comments: Exceptionnel ! C'est le mot qui caractérise ce joli appartement. Vous y trouverez tout le confort nécessaire et bien plus encore...car ici on ne vient pas seulement pour cet appartement plein de charme, on y vient aussi pour Alexandra qui est une femme charmante et qui se plie en quatre pour vous faire plaisir et vous aider à vous sentir tout de suite à l'aise. Cette personne a le sens de l'accueil incroyable ! Toujours pleine d'attention, elle vous accueille avec le sourire, la gentillesse et plein de petites attentions (par exemple, et ce n'est qu'un exemple elle vous réserve jus de fruits, petites victuailles, viennoiseries..). Malgré son emploi du temps très chargé, elle sera toujours disponible pour le moindre petit renseignement. Pour revenir à l'appartement, tout a été parfaitement pensé et conçu. De plus le côté créatif et artistique d'Alexandra se retrouve dans la décoration et le raffinement de cet appartement. Je souhaites à tous de vivre une telle expérience dans une ville qui elle-même est accueillante et chaleureuse. Pour finir c'est le cœur lourd que je suis parti tant je me sentais bien. Lors de mon séjour j'ai eu la chance de beaucoup discuter avec Alexandra mais aussi son frère qui lui-même est un homme plein de chaleur humaine. Le papa d'Alexandra et de Jorge est aussi un homme de cœur, chaleureux, et j'ai passé aussi des moments inoubliables en sa compagnie. Bref une famille merveilleuse. Je tiens à les remercier tous pour tout ce qu'il m'ont apporté durant ce séjour. Ils ont tous les trois une place importante dans mon cœur et je reviendrais le plus rapidement possible. Obrigado Alexandra, Antonio, Jorge et...Fox un chien adorable. Je vous embrasse tous les 3 très forts !

Comments: Notre séjour chez Alexandra fut vraiment formidable. Le logement nous a plu tout de suite; le grand divan se transforme en un grand lit confortable et l'accès au jardin est agréable et direct . La petite cuisine nous a été utile pour les petits déjeuner. Alexandra nous a très bien conseillée et s'est occupée de nous à tout moment pour que nous ne manquions rien à Porto. L'accès au centre-ville est facile. Le quartier est calme et sécuritaire. Nous y reviendrons sans hésiter.

Comments: Alexandra deserve our warmest recommendations!! After a week in Lisbon with a very nice airbnb couple we didn't think it could get any better. But then we met Alexandra! She has the biggest heart and will do anything to make you feel at home and give you a life-time experience in Porto. Staying with Alexandra we didn't just explore Porto, we made a friend and learned about Portuguese culture. On top of all this her place and the backyard is really nice to relax, sunbath or enjoy breakfast. Thank you so much Alexandra! See you (hopefully) soon :)

Comments: Wow what can we say, what a neat space. It was our oasis away from the city. Alexandra was a phenomenal host with a great sense of humour. Nothing was too much bother and her local knowledge made our stay so much more special. We loved her dad, he kept us up to date with international sports including when our Kiwi won. We were sad to leave.

Comments: Se estiverem a ler este comentário e a ponderar o local onde ficar no Porto, não procurem mais: encontraram aqui o sítio perfeito para a vossa estadia! A Alexandra realmente merece a denominação de "super anfitriã". Tudo neste sítio é impecável! Depois de um cancelamento a 1h antes da nossa viagem por parte de um outro anfitrião, não podíamos ter encontrado melhor (ficando assim agradecidos à outra pessoa que cancelou). Mesmo em cima da hora, foi nos obtida uma resposta e confirmação super rápida no seu espaço. Tanto a Alexandra, como o seu Pai e a cadela Fox, são do mais amáveis e simpáticos que já conhecemos. Fomos ao Porto a um festival e de início ficámos receosos se os nossos horários poderiam perturbar pelo estúdio ficar na casa deles, mas não houve qualquer problema e demonstraram-se bastante atenciosos e preocupados visto o tempo ter sido tão frio e chuvoso (também o meu namorado a certo dia adoeceu e tentaram sempre ajudar; até com os horários de check-out uma vez ter sido uma viagem um pouco cansativa para nós). Relativamente ao espaço, nota-se no cuidado do design e limpeza. Realçamos a cama ser tão confortável e os pequenos "mimos" que nos foram deixados. Certamente que quando voltarmos ao Porto quereremos repetir a experiência! Não podíamos esperar melhor!

Comments: The best AirBnB experience ever! I felt at home, I felt loved, Alexandra was like my sister who went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience in Porto. Home is beautifully designed by Alexandra, authentic azulejo tiles combined with the graphic comic book elements, all made by our creative host - from pictures hanging on the walls to pillows and chairs and dressers. Me and my husband stayed downstairs (enjoyed spiraling stairs so much!) and we had everything we needed for a great stay as a couple - privacy, tv with a lot of channels and great movies (in English with subtitles in Portuguese), coffee maker, fridge, sink, bar, all the stylish dishes, even food! (there was water, coffee, milk, cheese, ham, bread, yoghurt, fruit...) Private bathroom with toilet, sink and shower, we were able to walkout to Alexandra’s beautiful garden and enjoy her lovely flowers and designs there too! And the dog! Our Foxy! Such a happy and sweet girl! Unconditional love. We loved to play with her every day. We also got the best tips and advices what to visit, where to eat, what to do in Porto, and since we don’t speak Portuguese we really appreciate Alexandra’s perfect English skills and needless to say we enjoyed our everyday conversations. From the very first day we arrived when she made a reservation to watch the sunset from the best spot in the city (there’s a rooftop restaurant otherwise we didn’t know about) till the last day she booked Douro River tour through her friends agency getting us last two seats on a very short notice. Alexandra drove us to eat, to trains, she did our laundry, she let us stay longer... I could go on and on... She is a woman with a heart of gold and I feel like I’ve known her forever. I will definitely stay at her place next time I’m in town. Highly recommend Alexandra’s home to anyone who is visiting Porto. Thank you my sweet friend for everything!!! God bless you and your family!
