Tremendous property with great views in the historic quarter of Porto. Host representative Valentim waited (after a delay our end) met us, and took us through the property and was responsive to a couple of follow up queries. We had a great time in Porto and highly recommend this property.

Very clean and nicely renovated unit that's close to everything
We had an amazing stay at this rental. There was plenty of space for our family and it had everything we needed for our stay. The host went out of his way to make us feel welcomed and to recommend things to do while we were in town. I highly recommend considering this place if you're planning to be Porto.
The views and location were incredible. The unit was comfortable. The stairs we more than we expected. And the stove top was very unfunctional, electric, and hard to navigate. Otherwise outstanding!
Location was excellent! Apartment was clean with a great view. Valentim gave us a list of his favorite restaurants, cafes, places to visit. Every one of them that we tried were great. Took out the guesswork of finding a good recommendation.
The only suggestions I would make:
- Consider adding a tankless water heater. Ran out of hot water a few times.
- Provide better instructions for washer/dryer machine
- Provide a coffee maker. Only had hot water maker.
- Provide a TV.
Beautiful location. The property was very centrally located and well equipped. The check-in process was very easy and Joanna was so helpful in providing recommendations for restaurants, activities around the city. We truly enjoyed our stay and would go back to this property when visiting Porto again.
L'appartement est récent dans le quartier de Ribeira,proche de tous les sites,dans une petite rue tranquille.Quelle surprise d'arriver et de voir toutes les grues et les chantiers en cours,le vieux Porto est en réhabilitation forcenée,malgré tout cela reste calme.
Spacieux,très propre,ambiance un peu austère:manquent des lampes de chevet dans la chambre du bas car spots trop blancs,dans le séjour un beau canapé confortable et des beaux fauteuils réchaufferaient l'ambiance,les lits sont très confortables.Nous n'avons pas vu Joana.
Pour le transfert:personne à l'arrivée,obligés d'appeler Joana et d'attendre le chauffeur qui ne nous a pas arretés devant la porte mais plus bas,très amateur comme service…
En conclusion bonne adresse ,clean,calme qui manque un peu de charme.
The apartment was amazing. On a lovely street in an incredible old building with exposed stone. Nicely renovated with an awesome view of the Douro. Valentim checked us in and gave us some fantastic recommendations. He was great. Overall a perfect stay in Porto.
Beautiful flat in amazing location and wonderful views

SO MUCH TO SEE AND SO LITTLE TIME
The only issue with our recent stay in Porto at this property is that it was too short. The apartment was in a wonderful location and like others have said, the view is incredible! We found the apartment to be very comfortable, spotless and with all that we needed for our stay. Valentin, who met us, gave us many tips on what to see and where to eat. We could have spent much more time here at this apartment and in this beautiful city. Amazing hosts!!

Central location, recently renovated, kind host
This very clean apartment is up 6 flights of stairs in what is referred to as the 3rd apartment. Located on an historic cobblestone street above Porto’s tourist quarter, you will be near small cafes and a nearby square. Two Uber drivers did warn us of drug activity at the end of the street, and we did see some possible evidence of that, but didn’t worry about it. We were a couple staying in a space for 4 and we had to split up when we took our showers - one at night, one in the morning as the hot water tank did not hold enough for two *short* showers. Hopefully the host can work on improving that. We wished there had been more of a living room area with a TV - as it was there was a futon couch with no sides, two low chairs that weren’t really loungeae and a large 6 person dining room table and chairs. Finally, this apartment was a bit chilly for our March visit, even with the multiple space heaters provided by the host. Not a huge big deal, and certainly means the apartment is cool in the summer months!! Thank you for your hospitality. Joana!

Fantastic
We had a great time in Porto!
The apartment was beautiful, clean and wow what a view!
Joana meet us right on time to get us settled in. She had maps and restaurants names, favorite sights and was more than willing to be sure we had everything we needed,
Very professional .
One of the best features of the apartment is it's location. In the historic area you do not need or want a car. Everything is within walking distance.
All in all a really beautiful place to rest up or go out and enjoy an amazing city.
