Excellent experience

The property is clean and well maintained. We were welcomed with fruit, rolls, croissants, and a nice bottle of wine. The kitchen was well equipped with everything one might need. A grocery store is right around the corner, a small restaurant below the apartment and nice pedestrian mall was a block away. The Metro station was also a block away making the apartment well located for most any Porto activities. The host, Fernando, was an excellent communicator. We highly recommend this property.

A real gem!

Host was very gracious! We found his place to be very charming & comfortable! We lacked for nothing, Fernando even thought to supply us with enough coffee & fresh rolls for our breakfast, so we didn’t have to think about that meal first thing in the morning & could just start exploring the beautiful city of Porto! Would definitely return!

Perfect Porto getaway

My wife, Sister and Brother-in-Law and I had a wonderful stay at the apartment on Rua da Algeria in Porto! The location was ideal for exploring the city's attractions on foot. The comfortable beds ensured a great night's sleep, and the double glazed windows effectively canceled out outside noise. The AC was perfect, keeping the apartment at a comfortable temperature. The kitchen was a good size for two people to cook in, and having Netflix available was a nice bonus. It was convenient to have markets and groceries within walking distance. The provided parking, though a short walk away, was a plus. The balconies were a lovely touch, allowing for fresh air. My only suggestion would be for the owner to provide a bread knife, which is a minor detail. Overall, it was a fantastic stay!

Wonderful Porto Apartment

Wonderful stay, wonderful host. The check in and prior communication was amazing, so gracious and helpful. The kitchen was beautifully stocked and the whole apartment was clean and extremely well appointed. The location was comfortable and just fantastic, even down to the wonderful restaurant and pastry shop we were located above. It was warm and humid for part of the stay and the split climate control systems worked perfectly. Such a joy to stay at this location for a week. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic Apartment!

The pictures don’t do this apartment justice. It is amazing. Located in a great part of town which has everything you need within easy walking distance. It’s also near the newly refurbished Bolhao Market. It had absolutely everything we needed to make our stay perfect. We would book this again in a minute!! Thank you, Fernando.
