Nuno is an incredibly gracious and helpful host and the apartment is very comfortable and well appointed. He has thought of so many details to make the stay feel like a home away from home. It unfortunately rained the entire 5 days / nights we were in Porto, but having this place as home base made coming “home” a pleasure. I highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Porto!

Exceptional!!

This place exceeded my expectations! Nuno the owner was so easy to communicate with and replied immediately as needed. The home was so pretty, spotless, and such a great location. We walked everywhere we wanted to go just trekking out from this lovely spot. The rooms were very cozy, the balconies were great added space to hang out in. And Nuno has the most amazing recommendations ready for us!! He set the bar very high for all of the amenities he offered to guests - included a detailed map of recommendations he created for us when we arrived. And the very thoughtful and clever "honor bar' which we availed ourselves of. I would highly recommend anyone stay here - you will have a lovely visit in all aspects. I would return without hesitation - thank you Nuno! :)

Absolutely beautiful apartment in Porto!!

I have stumbled upon the most elusive creature in the world...a VRBO apartment that is more beautiful in person than it is in the photos! I didn't think this was possible, but it's true. This apartment is absolutely stunning and the wonderful hosts have gone out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The little things they do to make you feel at home - the bedside tables on each side of the bed complete with a power strip, the honor bar of drinks, the many hooks and shelves in the bathroom, the options of different types of pillows to sleep with, umbrellas to borrow, the list of restaurants and things to do nearby...all of it was done to make our stay as pleasant and cozy as can be. Add in the parking spot and the washer and dryer, and this apartment is darn near perfect. Nuno was the best host I've ever had, hands down. He went so far out of his way to make us feel welcome, I just can't say enough. He made our vacation in Porto an absolute dream! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

A lucky find for us… any maybe you too!

When you book an apartment online you never know what you’re getting. In this case, it couldn’t have been any better. Nuno was there to welcome us and as the owner, he really cares about the experience guests have. The apartment has everything and Nuno provided information on sights to see and restaurants/bars he recommends. He had extra electrical converters, a Bluetooth speaker and games for use plus TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. The multiple balconies with views were great for relaxing with coffee or a glass of wine. He also had a great selection of wines at different price points (all reasonable) so we didn’t have to go out for it. Multiple supermarkets nearby and a 5 minute walk to the best food market we’ve ever been to. Less than 15 minutes to the old town was convenient but you return to a quiet neighborhood. Nuno thought of everything to make for a great stay in Porto.
