Great Place for A Family Vacation to Porto!
We loved the property and wish we could have stayed longer! It was very well prepared and quickly felt like home. The amenities were all great, we only wish the weather would have been nice enough to spend some time on the terrace. The area was lovely, with close access to markets, a grocery store, public transit, and a 24hr pharmacy. We had easy access to everything we wanted to visit and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Porto Vrbo Review
Generally speaking, we had a wonderful stay at this location. Property was very clean and well-furnished. The host was exceptionally friendly and informative as well, and went out of their way to accommodate us when we arrived ahead of the 3 pm check-in time. The only issue we encountered was some loud construction, which started sometime between 7-8 am and lasted multiple hours (and it quite literally felt like someone was hammering on the property). Hopefully, this was a one-off occurrence. We understand that this is out of the host's control, but it would have been nice at least to have had some sort of heads up.

Lovely stay!
Everything was exactly as pictured. Irene (the owner's mother) was an absolute sweetheart. She spent a significant amount of time showing us the map of the area and pointed out areas that would interest us. She was absolutely amazing. The terrace was so relaxing and inviting. Close enough to grocery, dining. Very peaceful. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Amazing stay
My mom and I had a phenomenal stay at the spacious apartment. We truly felt at home and enjoyed all the extra space this apartment has. The outdoor area is also very spacious and private, and we spent many nights out there. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for cooking, and there are grocery stores and bakeries close by. Public transit is also close by, however Ubers we’re so cheap we chose to take Ubers when we couldn’t walk there. Also a beautiful walk to the historical district. The host and her mother were both very friendly and helpful, Irene even booked a day trip for us which was also a 10/10. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in porto, you will not find many spacious apartments like this one. We definitely will be back! :)

Un appartement de bonne qualité.
Un bon accueil assuré sur place par Irène et l'appartement en lui même est spacieux tant en intérieur que par sa crande terrasse et propre. Cependant il faut regretter que du fait d'importants travaux de rénovation en cours sur divers bâtiments avoisinants, l'appartement et sa terrasse se trouvaient plongés de 8h00 à 17h00 dans les bruits et vibrations d'engins de chantiers avec une nette dominance de marteaux piqueurs ... De ce fait le tiers du temps il fallait quitter les locaux et la terrasse devenus invivables. Il est à regretter une totale absence d'une information préalable de cette situation et qu'aucune compensation pécuniaire n'ait été envisagée et encore moins proposée par le loueur. Cela me semble pourtant le minimum.

Five star plus!
This apartment is beautifully decorated, and you’ll find all that you need waiting for you, with a well stocked kitchen, plenty of tourist information, and Irene is so very helpful, a delightful hostess! We also enjoyed the location, eith several nice restaurants and a full sized grocery store to choose from in a 5-10 minute walk from the front door. Oh, and the outdoor space is wonderful to have, we enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying all the beautiful plants, and a large table with an umbrella if you want shade. Thanks again Irene, hope to stay with you again in the future. Cheryl B.

Great spot out of busy streets but still close to everything
Nice little spot, terrace was great for the kids, used the metro to get to tourist places, nice little market & cafe on same street. Place felt secure & safe. Host was helpful for check in to direct us to some places. Crib is good for young babies who can’t stand yet- too high up & dangerous for babies who can stand up-potentially fall out.
