The property was well maintained and clean. Gustavo was incredibly knowledgable and informative about the city of Porto and he went out of his way to make sure that we settled in well. The apartment was quite damp at times, but Gustavo was always on hand to help in any way that he could. The apartment is close to a supermarket and transport links are frequent into the town centre, although it is a pleasant walk along the river.

Gustavo was the best host. He met me at the property, helped me with my luggage and was very helpful. He told me best places to go in town. The apt was super cozy and quiet. Very clean and accommodating. I had the best sleep and was able to do my work at night and tour the city during the day. The sheets smelled so good and fresh every night I went to bed. The shower was great. Close to the sites and bus stops. Walked to different restaurants everyday. Loved my stay here.

Gustavo was a pleasure to meet and thoroughly explained everything to us upon our arrival at the property. We have not rented privately before. but would not hesitate to do it again. Cais das Pedras was a perfect way for us to see Porto after our Douro River cruise. The apartment was clean and well equipped and the bed was extremely comfortable. Thank you Gustavo.

Fantastic location!

Aside from an initial mishap, no fault of the host, my stay was amazing. Minor walk to center of old town, and several nice places to eat, drink and buy groceries, within 300 meters. The unit was very well appointed with all amenities including some coffee and juice. Gustavo was amazing in helping me with big problem upon problem upon arrival, he went far above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of

Absolutely Excellent

Lovely apartment. Modern and fully equipped with everything you need to be comfortable and cook. 5 minute walk to major grocery store. Nice and dry, unlike a lot of the damp places in Porto. Gustavo was an excellent host. He checked in on me regularly to see if I needed anything, and offered helpful advice about where to go and what to see and eat in Porto. One of the best places I've ever stayed at. Obrigado!
