An oasis during Porto visit
Jorge is an amazing host who went above and beyond to help us enjoy our time in Porto. I admired structural evidence of his experience as a professional architect in the renovated tiny house - it's small but feature packed. The decorations inside reflect his passion as restorer of classic items (cars, lamps, furniture). Open the doors and you'll step out to an oasis of tropical plants, trees, and water features. The place provides a special environment for mental and physical rest after a full day of exploring Porto! The house is within easy walking distance of the city center with many new and diverse restaurants nearby. You can tell that Jorge is proud of his city and he eagerly shared how to explore Porto. He marked up a paper map with a local's perspective on places we might like to visit, where to eat, and how to get there. That was really valuable to make the most of our time and energy while we were out and about. Lastly, the Garden House is full of amenities and clean - absurdly clean. The level of care and effort required to make that a repeated experience guest after guest is stunning and reflects the host's thoughtfulness for his guests. I will definitely return for future stays at the Garden House.
