Traveller reviews

“Sanctuary in the heart of Porto”
11 Jun 2025
I! The location is fabulous. The apartment was better than we had expected with everything we needed, and anything we did want, we could zip across the street to a little convenience shop. With the windows open, you will hear the pulse of Porto and feel the fresh breezes. When you need quiet, close the windows which are well insulated, for a quiet night’s sleep. We loved our host, Pedro, who made sure we were very well taken care of. He wanted us to love Porto as much as he does, and we did ! The only downfall is that we had to eventually check out.

“This apartment gets everything right. And the view makes you feel like a millionaire. I can’t wait to return.”

Everything! From our first encounter with the team, we felt looked after. This apartment has been designed with care and has all you might need for a home away from home. Ideally situated, easy access with lift, windows that open, a well equipped kitchen with welcome coffee supplies and a big bottle of mineral water. Master bedroom has a large living space and en-suite, smaller bedroom has great storage and a window with a beautiful view. All the views are incredible, a real bonus to this excellent apartment, probably the best I’ve ever stayed in.

“Central apartment in Porto”
28 May 2025
We liked being met by Pedro, nice personal touch. He spend some time telling us about Porto as well as recommendations before taking us into the apartment and showing us around and getting us setup with Wi-Fi. He is a very passionate and helpful man which is a rare find today. The apartment is basic, clean, functional and mirrors the pictures on the website. Access to the building is given by Pedro on the day of arrival as well as a set of keys for the apartment. The location of the apartment is very central to the town however, it is on a narrow, cobbled and hilly street. Plenty of restaurants and bars around however, for produce (milk, cereal etc) you will have to walk 10 mins to the SPAR shop down near the tunnel into Porto. We also, liked the coolness of the apartment, especially when it is hot. It also, has a first aid kit in case of emergencies. 10/ 15 min walk to/from Sao Bento metro station and railway station.

“Business trip”

Clean and well equipped apartment in the center of Porto. Great communication. I would definitely come back again!
