Interaction: I love to make my guests feel special! I find hosting is possibly one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. I feel fulfilled on a daily basis as I meet people with so many diverse and extraordinary backgrounds and share personal experiences, while introducing them to my beloved hometown and some of its charming secret places… As I lived abroad for a few years and travelled quite a lot, I found a growing interest in new cultures, traditions, scents, foods... I have been warmly welcomed by some people whose name I might not even recall but that I hold so dearly in my heart. The further I would be, though, the more I would fall in love with Porto, my hometown. For the first time I was able to look at it from a different angle and could appreciate the finest and smallest details in the city and in its people. I have learned that in the end, what makes an amazing experience is not necessarily the place in itself but the people that we come across with! I love to make my guests feel com

    Comments: La casa di Ariana corrisponde esattamente alla descrizione e alle fotografie. Bellissima e curatissima in ogni dettaglio. Purtroppo la camera affaccia sulla stradina di passaggio e di notte è effettivamente un po' rumorosa. Tuttavia Ariana scrive chiaramente nella descrizione anche questa caratteristica quindi non abbiamo nulla da obbiettare. Il quartiere è molto carino, l'oceano è a due passi da casa, mentre per raggiungere il centro di Porto bastano 10 minuti con i mezzi pubblici. Ariana è un host attenta e molto disponibile. Ci ha fornito moltissime informazioni utili x il nostro soggiorno. Casa consigliatissima.
