Incredible apartment that really suited my wife and I. In the heart of the historic centre of Porto and close to many sights and restaurants. Communications were really easy and our host was extremely helpful providing local information on best restaurants, bars and places to visit. Porto is a wonderful destination. We spent 5 nights in the apartment and will definitely return.

This property is beautiful with an amazing location and views of the Ribeira. Modern, great decorations and super clean. The host was friendly and kept in touch. She recommended us places to visit and even a excellent tour guide. I definitely recommend this place to stay in Porto

The location is excellent for sight seeing as the property is very near the Don Louis bridge. The access is via a lot of steps. Quite difficult to find but we were met at the Cathedral and shown the way. I would recommend booking the taxi through the owners as it is cheaper than the airport taxis and they know where to drop you. The apartment is small but well designed and equipped. Our one complaint was that the television did not work and no one came to fix it.

Good accommodation well located. Unusual check in procedure, meeting the host at the site and making payment in person. Communication was not great they were trying to WhatsApp message which I don’t use. Overall good stay, very clean and comfortable.

Great room with great accomodations. Coffee machine, fridge, very generous shower, etc. Service was also great with a welcoming and informative host eager to share about her city. However, must note that apartment is located on stairs, so there was a lot of going up and down which may tire more than desired.
