Very friendly host, very informative. I was a little worried that the rooms didn't have locks, as travelers were coming and going.

I am glad I chose to stay at João's. The room is exactly as shown. A quiet neighborhood, and easy accessible public transportation to central Porto. João is a good host, I would recommend him, and his place, should you be looking for a place outside from Porto, Portugal.

I couldn't be happier with the location, and the family I chose to stay with. Frank and his family were very welcoming. Their home an almost 100 year old building, yet clean and homy. The room was spacious, and there were enough amenities to make ones stay comfortable. What I loved about their location is that it's pretty much centralized. You are a step away from the University of Havana, this is perfect for students who plan to spent a semester studying in Havana. For the travelers, their location is perfect, as it is about 25 minutes walk to where it's all happening, take a walk straight down the street, and you are at the busy plaza close to the theater and El Capitolio as well as Old Havana. The area called Vedado is walking distance as well. Close to their location are paladares or rather home restaurants where you can get delicious home cooked Cuban meal, the bank is close by, but I would recommend going to a 'caeca' if you need to exchange money. If you have any questions as per activities or locations, Frank or his wife are readily available to help you. Not to forget if you need a taxi, all you need to do is step out the house and cross over the street (as it is a one way direction) and there are enough taxis driving by. This location is perfect for first timers as well as it is centrally located.
