Great apartment with proximity to groceries and bus route

We enjoyed our stay. We bussed into Porto and Matosinhos. Sara is an excellent host- friendly,helpful. The weather wasn't great, but the apartment was cosy . We were close to Douro river, so we walked along the path, bought roasted chestnuts and watched the locals fish.

Perfect for out of town stay

Great out of town location, but you can get into Porto by tram 500 bus or a local bus 207 or 205? We used the later to take us to a stop right outside the book shop - perfect! Nice to walk into town or to the coast. Mini supermarket 200m away with bakery and all you need, so you can quite easily do all your food shopping there. This also has a pizza restaurant above it, we didnt go there but looks to be used by locals. We did go to a pizza restaurant about a 5 minute walk away, cant remember its name now, go down the hill to the river, turn left, take the right hand fork road up the hill about 200m. We had the taxi service to and from the airport, excellent service and decent value.

Calme et confort à proximité du centre

Cet appartement est propre, confortable, spacieux (6 couchages, 1 salle de bain, 2 toilettes) et au centre d'un immense espace vert, au calme. Petit supermarché de proximité, avec à l'étage un très bon restaurant, piscine municipale gigantesque à deux pas (fluvial club). Si vous souhaitez pouvoir vous reposer après vos journées de visites en centre ville, c'est l'endroit idéal. Prenez le bus 500 et vous être en plein centre de Porto en 10 minutes! Et le 500 dans l'autre sens pour les plages et le port de commerce avec ses bons restaurants de poissons! Un couple d'hôte charmant, avec une petite bouteille de vin blanc à l'arrivée, beaucoup de gentillesse et à l'écoute. Nous avons fait le bon choix, faites comme nous!! Bonnes vacances!!

Stay here!

If you want to be close to downtown Porto but want to enjoy the peacefulness of a Portuguese neighborhood, this is your place. Each morning we strolled along the river boardwalk to a pastry shop and and returned via a different route through the neighborhood. The apartment: we hated to leave it. Incredibly comfortable and huge. The host, Sara, was attentive to our needs and always available...even though she herself was on vacation! We were on vacation for 3 weeks in Europe and this is one of our favorite homes we stayed in.

Lovely home in great location!!

Sara was very welcoming. As well she arranged our voucher for hop-on-hop-off bus. Was a wonderful way to see Porto & Gaia. Helped us know what to see on the ground. Two washrooms were great for 3 women! I highly recommend this vrbo. We could walk to the river, a grocery store, restaurants & to all transportation.

Wonderful Apartment

This is a sweet apartment, comfortable and welcoming. We received a welcome gift of Moscatel, chocolate and a decorative Porto tile. It's walking distance to the river and close to other amenities. The owner, Sara was a friendly, caring and most gracious host. She booked a fabulous tour of the Douro Valley for us and set us up for a Yellow Bus tour of Porto. Brought the tickets directly to us. She cares about making your stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this property.

Quiet, clean, bright & central!

We loved the apartment & felt right at home. The kitchen is well stocked and beds comfy. Very clean throughout. The location next to a park and close to the Douro is wonderful Hop on the bus #500 and you are in Centro in 10 minutes among historical buildings, good eats & sidewalk cafes. Sara was amazing at coordinating our stay & a wine tasting tour of the Duoro Valley. Thanks so much for enhancing our stay in Porto Sara!

Fantastic apartment everything you could need for a stay in Porto, great location,

We stayed for 2 nights but wished we had stayed longer. The apartment is in a fantastic location, you can easily visit the city by foot or by catching the tram, you can also cycle along to the beach area and promenade. It's original fittings are really quaint, everything is provided to self cater but there are restaurants close by and a supermarket just a couple of minutes walk. The apartment is exceptionally clean and Sara was really helpful. We traveled by car and the parking is perfect - right outside the apartment and felt very safe. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again - if you're planning a trip to Porto book it now :))
