The location was good. Close to restaurants and grocery store. The apartment was unique and offers a comfortable stay. The only drawback is there is no toilet on the first level and the guest staying downstairs will have to climb up to the 2nd level bedroom to use shower/toilet. Other than this inconvenience it was a good stay. Host was very helpful and responsive.
We fully enjoyed our stay at a home that was in our host's family for 300+ years. Our host was very kind and took time to explain the area and things to see and do.
Our host, Jose, was there to welcome us! He took us on a lengthy walking tour of the area, explaining the cityâs history and showing us some sites. He was warm and kind and treated us to cappuccino and traditional pastry custard tarts! Flat was authentic Portugal in a historic building very convenient to lots of spots. Perfect for 2-3 people. One suggestion only - more hot water for showers and better shower rod and curtain and better shower head. We really loved having two toilets and sinks, though! We would definitely recommend but no long showers here.
This was a great spot in Porto. You are close enough to the good areas but far enough away that it isnât loud from everyone enjoying themselves at night. We had a lovely time.
This home is comfortable and fun. A great launching pad for all things Porto. Julio was a wonderful host.
We would love to come back again soon!!
Many thanks!!
Excellent location in the heart of Porto. Old historic building. Jose went out of his way to make us feel comfortable in Porto and accommodate us in anything. Highly recommended.
The apartment we stayed in was in an excellent location. Jose, the owner, was an excellent host. He showed us around the neighbourhood, took us for coffee, then advised us of places of interest to visit.
Apartment had very comfortable bed & was very cosy.
Fully recommend this apartment
Great place with great host Jose who gave a tour around the city explaining and giving a short history of Porto .Great location close to all will surely be back one day .
A wonderful property in a perfectly situated neighborhood within walking to great restaurants, Cathedral and Gaia district. Host was incredibly personable and helpful in every way. An absolute gem!!
The host, Jose, was very kind and sweet. When we arrived he gave us a tour of the city. He explained how things work in the house and its history. His place was very close to pharmacy, restaurants and places of interest.
Jose was fantastic. Gave us tips and ideas for our stay and made the arrival as easy as possible. Communication was perfect and answered any question we had before our arrival.
The room was charming and clean. The two bathrooms upstairs were fantastic when getting ready to go out. Had everything we needed and the bed was extremely comfortable.
So many great places to eat nearby. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see and it was quiet at night. Perfect room for a couple and would definitely stay here again.
Was so close to everything and the host was incredible- def went above and beyond to ensure we knew where we were and had to go! The apartment is beautiful and well kept. My onlyyyyyy thought is that the bed was very hard- we both did not sleep well. But the pros very much outweigh the cons- def worth staying!
This flat is beautiful and quirky and a good base to start from when exploring Porto. When considering self-catering, some more applicances are needed to make it work. Also, having access to a warm water tap in the kitchen would be an advantage. Given the proximity to breakfast, lunch and dinner places most people probably won't miss that. Other than that it is a wonderful place to be in and the host has been very welcoming and generous in giving us very useful information about this gorgeous city.
We were very impressed from the moment we arrived. The host was so welcoming and told us everything about the neighborhood. Where to eat, shop and the highlights of Porto. The apartment is so comfortable. The bed was very good and we both slept well. Everything we needed was supplied. It is so centrally located that we could walk to everywhere. This place was a special find. Highly recommended
Thank you Jose for sharing your home with us.
Jose is the most gracious and generous VRBO Host. We have stayed in VRBO apartments In Italy,Greece , Spain London and Edinburgh. None of these had a host like Jose. He is the personification of the friendly Porto residents.He is a joy to be around and gives out very helpful information to travelers wishing to learn about other cultures. Videos to Jose.
This apartment was beyond our expectations. With its old word (300 yr old) interior walls and floors to its tasteful furnishings yet boasting all modern conveniences. We were very comfortable. It is very quiet and safe area with lots of restaurants within short walking distance. We tend to take Uber and were pleased to find that nowhere in the city was more than 5 euros (including 1 euro tip)
Our host as extremely cordial and helpful. Thank you for the opportunity.
We highly recommend this home away from home
