Architect Francisco hosts guests in historic Porto apartment with shared garden
Porto architect Francisco runs a home-stay Airbnb in an 1830 building where he lives upstairs and shares a backyard with guests.
Host interaction differs from typical rentals
The listing allows guests to meet the owner directly rather than using anonymous lockbox instructions. Francisco owns the entire building and resides on the top floor with his family.
Guests access a private shared outdoor space
Travelers enter through a shared backyard where they can meet the host and his dog immediately upon arrival. The architect apologized for delays caused by a doctor's appointment before sharing local recommendations.
Property features historic architecture and views
The apartment is located inside a building constructed in 1830 that the owner renovated personally. Francisco also manages a second two-bedroom flat within the same structure that offers river views.
