ROMANTIC and light apartment in Oportodowntown with mezzanine.
Welcome to my space where I will do everything possible for a good stay. Firstly and according to the opinion of previous guests, I advise you to stay longer than 5 nights as besides Porto you will be able to know other cities that are within 70kms, 1 hour by train, such as Braga, Guimarães and Aveiro. I do not advise car hire during the stay.

- a lovingly decorated space, with lots of natural light with two windows to the outside and another window "Velux" on the mezzanine, giving the whole apartment an unexplained brightness, no need for artificial light ...
-It is on the top floor (3rd), facing the back of the building which makes it very quiet and with more privacy.

Great location in the center! Walking distance to everything! Tons of restaurants and bars 3-5 min walk.
super clean, we really enjoyed our stay. Will not hesitate to come back or highly recommend!
The apartment was perfect and the host was so friendly and accommodating. The apartment is just steps away from beautiful churches, markets, metros, everything! Easy check in instructions and the apartment had everything we could need for our short stay.

Enchanted!
Porto is a beautiful city and the Portuguese people are so friendly and helpful! Already planning my next trip!
Great location in the centre of Porto .
Accommodation was small and perfect .
Carlos was exceptionally helpful, especially with local knowledge of Porto .
Thoroughly recommend.
My wife and I stayed at Carlos’ property for 3 nights. From the very beginning, Carlos stood out as a fantastic host - he even stayed up late and waited for us and helped with our luggage after our flight was delayed.
The property is just as advertised; super clean and quite well working A/C in a great neighborhood/ location.
Would definitely stay here again!
Perfect location to explore Porto! You can get everything you need very close by but be aware that the apparent is on a third floor… no elevator

Thank you for choosing my apartment. and congratulations on your birthday. Cheers. On the website there are indications that the apartment is on the 3rd floor and has no elevator.... I also don't recommend it for people with limited mobility.
Best regards
This is a very comfortable and well equipped apartment. It is conveniently located near the underground station, market and other shopping.
Carlos is an excellent host who provided advice on local travel and made us very welcome.

Carlos is super helpful and responsive. From booking to checking out, everything was seamless. The flat is decorated beautifully. You have everything you need to enjoy your stay in Porto.
We stayed 4 nights in this great property. It is close to the Mercado and Metro. We were able to explore all of historic Porto on foot including across the Douro River. It is close enough to walk everywhere, but quiet enough to leave the balcony windows open all night.
We really enjoyed staying here. Thank you.
Dwayne and Donna
We really loved our stay in Carlos beautiful apartment. Very well situated, pretty close to the action although very quiet. At early evening, we even had the pleasure of hearing one of the neighbours playing really good piano… Le bonheur! Also, thank you Carlos for your availability and all the good suggestions!
Lovely apartment with a phenomenal location! Hosts were great but we had a slight miscommunication regarding check in time. It wasn’t a big problem but there was a bit of frustration for both parties. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay and I highly recommend this property.

The whole experience was great. Carlos and his family made everything easy to follow and seamless. The apartment was very clean, and spacious for two (although four could stay at a squeeze). His daughter was helpful and Carlos was very informative with regards to things to do etc.
The apartment was well situated for everything we wanted. I would recommend this place to anyone.
We were very happy with our choice.
