Host very responsive and attentive.Location central. You're in a busy area, expect some late, outside noise.Esthetics over function, perhaps. Nowhere to sit any toiletries in the bathroom.

Perfect spot, perfect host
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - perfect location for walking to so many Porto sites but the best part was how helpful Isabel was in arranging tours, making suggestions and caring for us to whatever extent we wanted. We highly recommend this apartment!

Sweet apartment in great location
We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Porto from this beautiful apartment! The flat was spotless, superbly maintained, presents as pictured, and comments by others are accurate. It is on the second floor for those with mobility issues, with a quaint view up a cobbled street and the peaks of Palacio da Bolsa in the other direction. Many restaurants are in the area and Costa bakery, for my favourite pastel de nata, is up the hill. It is an easy walk downhill to the spectacular Douro River waterfront.Isabel was as wonderful as others have said and regularly checked in on us. She provided a great overview of the area with suggestions that we enjoyed. Thank you, Isabel!

A Gem in the Heart of Porto
We loved this property. The location, the decor and amenities.The kitchen is fully outfitted with everything you need, and we utilised it to make dnner on a couple of occasions. Given our stay in Portugal was for a month the in suite washing machine was very handy.Our host Isabel was fantastic. She was very prompt in responding to our queries. Due to a train strike we were forced to take a bus from Lisbon. Isabel very graciously arranged a driver to pick us up at the bus station and drive us to the apartment.Isabel was waiting for us. She took the time and great care to show us around the apartment and then showed us a local tourist map and walked us through the sites , circling landmarks and restaurants making notes for us. This was certainly helpful in the coming days of our week long stay.The complimentary bottle of Port was greatly appreciated.She also coninued to follow up throughout our stay, suggesting tours and restaurants and to ensure everything was satisfactoryAll in all a terrific week in a beautiful centrally located apartment, made even better by a professional and friendly host.

Beautiful apartment in a great location
Isabel was extremely helpful from the moment I made the booking. Her recommendations were excellent and we booked a fantastic walking tour of Porto with Julio who was also excellent and extremely knowledgeable. I wish we could have stayed a lot longer! Thank you Isabel!

Porto Vacation
The property was great! Often the pictures of the property looks better in VRBO than they are but this property was accurate and did not disappoint. It was very nice with nice furnishings and supplies and clean. The hostess is wonderful, very helpful, quick to respond and one of the best I have ever dealt with!It’s in a great location too. I highly recommend staying.

Concierge included
Although we had rain, our stay was filled with memories due to the detailed planning of Isabelle. The accommodations were wonderful. The most comfortable of the many high end hotels we chose following Porto. The location was easy to navigate from on foot and of course Isabelle even provided an umbrella.
