Fantastic stay at this apartment. We travel all over the world and this was one of the best, if not the best, apartment we have ever stayed in. The reason is that it felt like a house instead of an apartment not because of size but due to the furnishings, layout, design etc. And the outside patio area. Bed was comfy, apartment comes with everything you need.Gustavo the owner is amazing and met us at the home to explain everything we needed to know. Went above and beyond any host we have ever had by telling us all about transportation, his neighbourhood, and much much more. He is also very fast to respond to any inquiries, concerns or any questions at all.The location is fantastic as its located on the main shopping and tourist street in Porto. But its at the end or top of the street which is extremely quiet and away from any noise or crowds. Quiet at night but once out the front door only a 2 minute walk to all cafes, shops, restaurants etc. Overall a great experience and would absolutely stay again if in Porto. Would highly recommend

A great apartment and a great host!

The apartment was in a great location! We could walk to everything. The apartment was super clean - perfect for the 2 of us. Gustavo was extremely responsive and met us when we arrived that evening - he even got in the car and helped us locate a parking spot! He gave us an itinerary of things we could do in Porto with the limited time that we had there. He went above and beyond!!! We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone and will definitely return again someday!

Super responsiveness

This property is adorable, clean and superbly situated. And Gustavo was incredibly responsive in his communication back and forth with us, both before arrival and during our stay. His detailed map of Porto with personalized notes of what to see and where to go was so helpful. Loved the whole experience.

Exceeded our expectations

The property was in a great location. We were able to walk to everything in the old town. The place was very clean and had everything available (such as cooking supplies, soap, toilet paper, etc.). There is an outdoor seating area to enjoy your morning coffee or tea. The property manager met us at the property and went over everything in the apartment, as well as the town. It was one of the most thorough check-ins we have had at a VRBO property. He even messaged us the next day to see how our stay was going. It was a very positive experience.

Perfect Porto Apartment

This Porto apartment was perfect for my visit. My check in was extremely late due to my flight but Gustavo, the host, still greeted me at the apartment with instructions and offered really helpful advice on how to see this incredible city. The apartment is situated right on the edge of the bustling city center and there are so many things to do and see within walking distance. It was easy to take public transportation across town with nearby bus lines and the metro. It is on the first floor so requires walking up a set of stairs - there's no lift so if you can't manage walking up one flight of stairs you should look for another place. The rental itself was clean, incredibly charming and had everything I could possibly need for my stay. I noticed the thoughtful touches throughout: complementary beverages, picnic blanket if you would like to spend time at a park, umbrellas in the event there's rain, beach towels, etc. The owners take pride in this place and it shows. Gustavo was also helpful in securing a taxi for me to the airport which cost 22-24€. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

Apartamento en la zona de moda de la ciudad

Excelente apartamento con todos los necesarios en la zona mas de moda de la ciudad, de donde se puede ir andando a todos los lugares y puntos de interés. El anfitrión ademas de amable y atento a todos los detalles, nos dio una explicación única de la ciudad y todo lo que hacer en ella, como un freetour pero ma cercano :D hasta nos dio un mapa con toas las anotaciones hechas por el. Dispone de garaje aparate a 5 minutos para dejar el coche (que no necesitaras para visitar la ciudad). 10/10
