Jaon is excellent to communicate with. The flat is upstairs but there is an elevator to help with luggage. Location is great, close to train and central location to go down to the River area or uptown. Only issue was
The apt was perfect - in a great location for this first time visitor. Very clean and light with a very comfortable bed.
The street was lively and then very quiet at night and I felt very safe. João responded quickly to my questions and his colleague gave me ideas of where to go. I recommend this place.
This is a very comfortable, clean & well-maintained apartment in Porto.
We met the owners on arriving so that they could provide us with keys and they were very helpful during our check-in; outlining where things were in the unit and recommendations for dining, shopping, etc.
The unit is on the 1st floor above ground level. There is an elevator but it is TINY. I used it only to take our luggage up & down upon arrival & checkout; stairs at all other times.
Parking can be a challenge if you rent a car both in finding a spot on the street & getting into said spot (very STEEP hill!) but if you parallel park at home, shouldn't be too difficult.
The location is great. When you get to the street, go right and up the hill to a main street where there are some great cafés and padarias. Continuing up that street leads to the Rua de Santa Catarina for its outdoor, pedestrian mall and shopping. Go to the left from the door and you head down the hill towards the Sé and all of downtown Porto. The only drawbacks are that there are homeless people camping out in doorways nearby and, as night settles, some potentially undesirable characters emerge.
The unit has everything you need re: kitchen appliances, etc. The bed is comfortable but the pillows aren't. Thin & don't support at all. Hot water was great until our last day when, either by accident or design, it turned off in the morning. Could use a few more towels, too.
Overall, a great experience & would recommend this unit.
The apartment was close to the train station, shopping, cafes, grocery store, and bars. The apartment is completely updated and the windows block out all the street sounds.
We were glad we chose this apartment because of the great location. It was convenient to restaurants, shopping and transportation. The gentleman who met us at the apartment gave great recommendations. He helped kick off a lovely stay in Porto.

Rue Carivo, Porto
Pas de climatisation, vieux et humide. Aucun ingrédient de base pour cuisiner. Chaises inconfortables pour la salle à manger. Bonne situation dans centre mais quartiers très ordinaire.
We have just returned from a month in this apartment. We loved it because it was the perfect base for getting to know Porto - a few minutes from the Cathedral, Dom Luis Bridge and many other Porto attractions. Our host was very helpful and offered lots of useful information. Totally satisfied with everything and hope to be back there in the future!
Joao was very accommodating and met us to help us settle in and also gave us many tips about things to do and restaurants/grocery stores in the area. The unit is not large but had everything we needed. We are mid-70's and quite mobile but be aware that there is a flight of stairs to get to the apartment---if this is not an issue, you will find Joao's place excellent in every way. So close to Sao Bento train station, many restaurants, pick up for various tours and the heart of Old Town Porto.
Idéalement situé pour visiter la ville de Porto à pied, l'appartement est tout à fait conforme aux photos. Refait à neuf dans un quartier très authentique, dans une rue calme, rien ne manque et convient tout à fait pour 4 personnes. Joao Carlos est très sympathique et très réactif. Il nous a transmis de bons conseils sur Porto, Nous recommandons cette adresse.
Joao was very welcoming, and replied to our texts quickly.
The location was very convenient, he showed us shortcuts on city maps. The town has a lot of circular hilly streets, so it was great to receive directional orientation. Our stay was comfortable and homey.

Superb appartment right in the centre
We arrived late on Saturday night,which was not a problem for the owner Joao.(other places charge a late fee).
Joao is very helpful, proud of his city and happy to provide lots of tourist information, despite the lateness of the hour.
The apt is great for two people,and fully equipped,spotlessly clean.
The bed is very comfortable with a firm mattress and the bedroom/bathroom linen is very good quality.
The bathroom is a good size and all amenities in perfect order.
The sitting room is not huge but comfortable, the TV does not have English channels but you will be so busy exploring the city you wont need them:)
We did not cook(why would you, with fab restos everywhere) but if that's what you prefer it had everything needed to create a meal,and there is a good supermarket in the shopping centre "Via Catarina" in avenue Sainte Catherine about 6 mins walk.There are also two local shops just down the same street for essentials water/milk etc
Transport from the airport via metro is stress free and Sao Bento metro stop is 3 mins walk if you come out the right exit which we didn't,so there are 2 exits when you come up the escalator don't take the one straight in front of you as its further away,still on the same street but more of a walk uphill to the apt.
Now some touristy info:
1- we didn't bother with the 3 day Andante card as everywhere is within walking distance,we just paid the card fare to the airport 2euro each way PP.
2- The Pont Luiz bridge is 4 minutes walk away.
3- Tram 22 2 mins walk just up the street and around the corner.
4- My favourite bit, restaurants - we were to have dinner for 3 nights, we booked Tapabento for the first night which is amazing and should be higher on the list on tripadvisor,you will need to book at least two weeks in advance or maybe more in July /Aug.
On our last night we had booked Muu steakhouse which was also brilliant ,a bit more expensive but if you like steaks you are spoilt if not there are only 2 other main courses.
This is number 1 on trip but to be honest I would rate it on a par with Tabento.
Our middle night we had nothing booked as we went out to the coast and had planned on eating there but it had got chilly to keep strolling so we got the bus back to Ribera, we chose one of the ones on the river front called Avo Maria this was only ok.
5- if needed there are luggage lockers in SBento train station just opp metro.
6-boarding cards can be printed off top floor of scentre above
WE WILL BE BACK

Très bien
Joao Carlos est quelqu'un de très sympathique ! Il répond rapidement à vos questions et est disponible pour toutes explications. Il nous a très bien reçu et il y avait même des cartes de Porto dans l'appartement. La cuisine est très fonctionnelle, l'appartement en général est petit mais idéal pour une famille de 4, la banquette clic clac est très confortable. L'appartement est super bien situé, puisque nous avons tout pu faire à pied dans le centre de chez lui. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter.
