The apartment is very nice and comfortable for two. It's located right in the middle of town, only steps from a few wine bars and restraunts. We enjoyed walking up and down the small side streets to find new shops and restaurants. The host, Ani, was very helpful with suggestions and responsive to any questions. Highly recommend staying here while in Porto.

Ideal apartment in every way

We enjoyed a wonderful few days at Ani's beautiful apartment. Everything was perfect - amazing location handy for walking everywhere, close to the action but calm and quiet on its quaint cobbled street. The property is just like the photos - clean, well-designed and comfortable. Ani was so lovely and went out of her way to welcome us with personal recommendations and advice for activities, sightseeing and dining. We would highly recommend this as a perfect place to experience Porto and would definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you Ani for an unforgettable stay!

Porto Trip

The apartment was very clean and is in a very nice place. It is close to different tourist areas. Ani personally greeted us when we went to the apartment and provided us with a wealth of information about Porto and places to see. Ani also provided us with recommendations about restaurants that offer Portuguese food, and all were great. Overall, Ani is a great host, and we will stay at her place when we return to Porto.

Great location in Porto

Terrific location in Porto, in old Porto, midway between the upper & lower parts. A narrow, quiet street, only one block off a major thoroughfare. The apartment had all we needed for an enjoyable stay. Rui Was an attentive hostess.

Ani was very good and checked frequently to make sure we got into the apartment ok and that we had everything we needed. Sorry we didn’t get a chance to meet in person. Also this is a a relatively quiet alley way in the historic centre close to many attractions and restaurants.

Old Porto cozy place

The apartment was clean and comfortable. Ani was a great help in arranging the parking, helping to carry our bags on a pretty steep street on the second floor of the building, and, overall, with very good suggestions of the restaurants, places to visit, etc. The location of the apartment is perfect, close to everything.

Perfect apartment in the perfect location.

Ani was a wonderful hostess and her apartment was lovely. It was in a great location near the Rua Ribeira on an historic street est. in 1295. Shops and restaurants are within a very easy walking distance. The apartment was well furnished with so many small and delightful touches, such as fresh flowers, shampoo and lotion and even ponchos in the event of inclement weather. Such a thoughtful and helpful hostess. It was a memorable stay in beautiful Porto!

Awesome location, great host!

My wife and I stayed at Ani's place for 4 days in April. Ani met us at the apartment and gave us a full tour of the place. She also went with me to the parking garage to park the car (definitely did not need it during our stay). I think that Porto is the most beautiful city I've ever been in and this apartment is perfectly located. There is a wine bar directly across the alley for a mid afternoon glass. You can walk everywhere from this place. Overall, it was a fantastic few days and the apartment was awesome.

Very disappointed

Overall good location but because of the high temperatures currently in Porto, the apartment was unbearable. Two fans in constant use barely made a difference - sweating all night is not my idea of comfort. Because of the smoking from adjacent apartments and noise from the street, it was impossible to leave windows open. No ceiling fans either - ridiculous. This unit was priced only 20 less than a 5 star hotel we were able to transfer to which includes a suite, beach access, elevator, A/C, breakfast included, 2 pools, etc. We recommend due diligence before booking this highly overpriced and overrated apartment. We had to vehemently complain to get released early from this booking. Owner finally gave us a partial refund but it was a huge disappointment all around. Owner even wanted more tax paid at the end than was advertised on her website- a complete misrepresentation. If you book this place, good luck trying to use Uber. Street is so narrow most, if not all, drivers will refuse to drive here.

Charming old city apartment

The apartment is comfortable, good sized, well appointed. It is on a steep narrow street in the old city— not for cars! Impossible to find if driving but Ani was extremely helpful and came to get us to guide us to the apartment. Parking is in a public garage a few blocks away and it’s very expensive. The apartment is located an easy walk from the major sites, and it’s close to the train station for taxis and metro. Ani gave us an excellent orientation and provided a welcome gift of champagne, port, and pastel de natas!

You must stay here if you are visiting Porto!!

We are nearing the end of our family vacation in Europe and we had the pleasure of staying in Ani’s amazing apartment in Porto from June 30 until July 3. You must stay here if you are in Porto. Ani is a wonderful and gracious host, her apartment is so clean, and it is in the perfect location. Ani made the first stop of our family trip to Europe just perfect. She gave us a list of key sights to see and some tips for getting around Porto. She checked in on us and we really felt she took care of us while we were there. Ani even ordered us a cab for our early departure. We would give 100 stars if we could. Thank you Ani! ❤️

This apartment was in an ideal location. An easy walk everywhere, comfortable beds, and port wine and snacks provided by the host. Good communication during our stay and good tips for sight seeing and restaurants from the host. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that the sink connection in the kitchen was broken and there was a sewage smell in the kitchen until it was fixed. But this stuff happens, and I would recommend this apartment for your Porto trip!
