Lovely spotless accommodation centered in the heart of Porto, a perfect spot to explore the city and also a respite after much walking. Host Isabel was exceptionally communicative and helpful in all her recommendations.
The place was excellent and the host, Isable is at the very top! She’s helpful there when you need her and is very into being a great host! Thank you Isable!!
This home is perfectly located, providing access to old town Porto, restaurants and bars. Impeccably clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed and all necessary amenities provided
Isabel was an incredible host. She was super responsive and helped us set up excursions. Location is great, it’s in walking distance to everything. Great way to see and visit Porto.
Fantastic host! Isabel was always available whenever we had a question and she made sure we had all the information we needed for a perfect few days in Porto. Apartment itself is perfect. Clean, well-appointed and very comfortable! Perfect location just a block from the river and reataurants or walk uphill into historic Ribeira district. Easy to walk all over town (as long as you are okay with hills). Highly recommend this wonderful property and host! Thank you, Isabel!
My husband and I travelled from Canada for a friends mid week wedding. We arrived before check in but we met the host at the property and exchanged keys and dropped our bags - she is so wonderful. This location is perfect, it is central to everything and we were l a 5-15 minute walk from everything we needed including the wedding in Gaia. I highly recommend booking this space it was a true pleasure staying here.
We had an amazing time exploring all that Porto has to offer, and this apartment made the trip. It was beautiful, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was unbeatable — right in the heart of the city, with everything worth exploring just steps away.What really put it over the top was the host. Isabel and her team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and got the most out of our visit. Can’t say enough good things — book here, you will not be disappointed!
The property is beautiful and the kind and generous hospitality of the property manager made for a wsrm and welcome experienceUnsurpassed in all of our many many vrbo bookings
A wonderful apartment close to everything in the old town. The apartment is spotlessly clean & very well equipped.Isabel is the perfect host with many suggestions about what to do in Porto & can arrange great excursions to the Douro valley.
Our host, Isabel was so kind and helpful. The apartment is in a wonderful location and was perfect for my daughter and I to stay for a few nights. We found wonderful restaurants and shops nearby, and Isabel had very helpful suggestions. Would recommend.
Our host was outstanding--provided excellent local information as well as options for additional excursions and services. The unit was just like the pictures and near lots of restaurants and local sites. It was a great base for our exploration of Porto.
The apartment is in an amazing location and close to all attractions and public transit, Steps from the water front. Isabel is an amazing, pationate and attentive host. She knows the city well and had several great recommendations for day trips, activities, restaurants and shopping.She truly gave us the 5 star treatment with a personal checking and review of the city and everything about it.Thank you Isabel

Highly recommend staying at this amazing place.
The location is perfect. The place is clean, very comfortable bed and linens. And the host is easy to contact and very helpful with great recommendations.
The host Isabel welcomed us upon arrival and helped us to settle in. She also provided us with a great driver Andre from airport to the room and then later a trip to Douro valley for a wine tour. Five stars
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - perfect location for walking to so many Porto sites but the best part was how helpful Isabel was in arranging tours, making suggestions and caring for us to whatever extent we wanted. We highly recommend this apartment!
Isabel did an amazing job with communicating with us and giving us ideas of what to see and do and ideas on where to eat. And would even help us with transportation!! The apartment was beautiful. Like a magazine. Could not have asked for anything better and a very central location. She even had a decanter of Port for us!! I highly recommend this place
