We arrived to this lovely and well equipped apartment at an amazing location in Porto, smack-dab in the center near Sao Bento station. |But all the great physical attributes took shade in the presence of Ana. ||First she made contact the day we arrived with info and offer to provide transportation in the guise of the kind Alberto. At 23 Euros it was well worthwhile. We met Ana who gave us the rundown of the gorgeous apartment, offering many suggestions and had booked us a table at a wonderful restaurant nearby to which she even escorted us. ||But a host can best be judged when there is an emergency.

I contacted Ana by text and she immediately got to work calling the police at the airport who are seemingly in charge of lost and found as well as the airline had it fallen out there.
