very comfortable pullout couch (tried it ourselves :)
weekly housekeeper (including ironing)!!!!
The apartment is located:
In a very local and typically Portuguese part of Matosinhos
In an area surrounded by local shops, markets, butchers, and other locally-owned gems.

More about us
-
We are an international couple that loves to travel! Carly is American and Miguel is Portuguese. We met while working in Rome for international organizations. From there we lived in Washington, DC, then London, on to Croatia, and now we call Portugal home.
-
Miguel is an Operations Engineer (he does cool IT stuff with servers) and Carly is wedding celebrant, but trained as an Economist and worked for the likes of the UN and the World Bank. Together we have started a host of businesses - a food tour here in Porto, a coworking space in Croatia, a wedding celebranting business, and a company that sells stainless steel straws.
-
We believe food is a cultural expression, loving to eat and meet locals wherever we go. We adore being with our four-legged best friend, Samwise, and exploring wherever there is the sun, good food, and happy people

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Matosinhos used to be a sleepy fishermen's village, but in recent years has become a trendy spot that attracts upscale families, digital nomads, surfers, retirees, and many more. Somehow with even with this mix, the neighborhood retains its down to earth feel. We can't walk out of the house without running it a neighbor for a friendly catch up or the local butcher offering our dog a treat or being invited to join a friend for a coffee. Below is just a sample of what we have and we are always to offer more recommendations if you can think of something specific you need!
