About this property
VICTORIA - ELEGANT AND SPACIOUS ART DECO APARTMENT
This is the perfect apartment for those who like to relax at the end of the day, after exploring the city, drinking a Port wine in this refined and warm atmosphere, punctuated with vintage pieces from the first decades of the 20th century! The great comfort of the apartment is guaranteed by the air conditioning and the excellent insulation and soundproofing, and also from the velvet and silk fabrics, and delicate sheets on the beds.
The apartment, in a traditional building from the 1940s, has just been completely restored. Its location is perfect for exploring the city of Porto on foot!
The kitchen is equipped with ceramic hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, oven, grill, espresso machine, kettle, etc., and washing machine and vacuum cleaner. Also available two LCD TVs and Wi-Fi connection.
It has two full bathrooms, and the details of the bedrooms are:
1 - the purple bedroom, very cozy, from wich the only opening is a large sliding glass door onto the bright entrance hall of the small balcony, and with thick curtains to cut the light. The imposing rosewood bed from the first decade of the 19th century is in the traditional Portuguese style Dona Maria, and has a comfortable mattress of 1.40 x 2.00
2 - the green bedroom has a king-size bed (1.80 x 2.00) and mattress of the highest quality which can be separated into two single beds. There are blinds and curtains for total darkness.
3 - the red bedroom, warm and welcoming, with a sofa bed that opens and turns into a comfortable double bed of 1.40 x 2.00 , and also with thick blinds and curtains for total darkness. To enter into the green bedroom you pass through the red bedroom, therefore, for an occupancy of up to 4 people, the green bedroom works like a large suite with antechamber and private bathroom
The apartment has two entrances. By the main entrance, the apartment is on the second floor, without elevator, but with very comfortable stairs. By the other entrance, access is through the gate below to the street and the comfortable outdoor stairs to the balcony.
The apartment includes free parking in a garage 50 meters from the building

Thank you so much, Moni. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we're glad you enjoyed the apartment, its comfort, decor, and its excellent central location! Yes, this area is home to some of Porto's best restaurants, from the most traditional to some Michelin-starred, like Euskalduna, which is a two-minute walk from the apartment!
Could not have been happier with this apartment. It is very big, and well decorated to the smallest of details. The location is great and very central. The host, Jorge, was extremely gracious and communicative. They left us wine, liquor, beer, fruit and spent a solid 10-15 minutes with us at arrival to mark up a map of “must see” and “must dine” places. All great recommendations. By far, the best experience I have had on VRBO.

It was a pleasure to host you and your lovely family, and we are so happy to have been able to provide the best VRBO experience!
Host was extremely welcoming, met us at the parking garage and walked us to the apartment. Once there, he spent an hour talking to us about Porto and gave dozens of recommendations on what to see, where to eat and how to get there. Additionally he provided a basket of fruit, some wine, port and spirits. Couldn't ask for better hospitality!

Thank you very much Paul, we are very happy that you enjoyed the apartment in the building we restored (with more independent units), the comfort, the decoration and the location. This is our goal, and we feel fulfilled that we were able to provide you with an excellent stay!
We were looking forward to this location from the VRBO listing but I can tell you it did not disappoint. Every detail was attended to. The furnishings, the decor and the design was fabulous. Our host Manuela went beyond expectations to explain to us all that Porto had to offer. If we are back in Porto we will absolutely stay here again.

Thank you so much Carrie, it was a pleasure hosting you and we are happy that you enjoyed the comfort, decor and details of the apartment and its central location in Porto! We look forward to your return!
This was the very best home we've ever stayed in. There were more welcome amenities than usual (plenty of paper towels, even Kleenex, cotton swabs, snacks and drinks - wow!), making the entire stay feel luxurious, and almost like family. Manuela welcomed us personally with a detailed tour (very helpful), including a map and suggestions for local stops. She went above and beyond in every way. We highly recommend, and would stay at any of the properties of these owners. Thank you for your extra efforts, they were noticed and appreciated.

This listing also includes a detailed description of the apartment, mentioning that it is located on the second floor, with no elevator.
Non-European travelers should inform themselves upon arrival in Europe about minor European cultural/nomenclature differences, particularly the meaning of "second floor" in Europe.
Thank you also for appreciating the rarity of a closed garage parking lot in the center of a European city, just a few minutes' walk from the property.
As promised, the apartment was truly elegant yet super comfortable. So beautifully curated with many wee extras to welcome us. Jorge spent time referring places to visit and places to eat. I highly recommend staying here. We were all very pleased with our experience. Thank you Jorge and Manuela. All the best.

Beautiful, elegant, cozy apartment in perfect location
We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous apartment in the center of Porto. The host was very kind and provided recommendations on where to have lunch, and left a bowl of fresh fruit and wine for our stay. We would love to come again and recommend it to everyone looking for a nice family vacation.
The apartment is beautifully furnished and equipped for guests. The location is easily walkable to many of Porto’s attractions. Great bakery and grocery store less than a block away.
Beautiful property close to a town square, with restaurants and groceries just steps away. Awaiting us when we came in out of a downpour was a bottle of wine, a bowl full of fruit, and hugs all around, followed by detailed suggestions by the host. The large apartment easily accommodated two couples.
We absolutely LOVED this apartment! They have thought of everything to make our stay so comfortable! We loved the location and highly recommended staying here! The apartment was so clean and so many extra touches you will be amazed, they go above and beyond!
Manuela and Jorge's apartment was one of the most lovely places we've stayed in on VRBO. The location is on a quiet street within a block of a bakery/coffee shop and large grocery story. It is quiet but less than 5 minutes from all the action. The apartment itself is extremely clean, comfortable, well-stocked and set up perfectly with the bedrooms on opposites sides of the living room. It created a nice sense of privacy for our group of four. Manuela was very welcoming and brought wine and fruit on our arrival. I could go on, but previous reviews are absolutely correct. I will tell my friends/family traveling to Porto to stay here without hesitation. It is truly a perfect apartment!

Thank you so much Deana. Your review makes us so happy that you recognize our work and commitment. It was a great pleasure hosting you and we would love to have you back!
This is a great apartment, with a terrific layout for families and perfectly located for touring the city. The check-in process was friendly and easy - including a helpful overview of Porto and recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing. Highly recommend!
We stayed here for 5 nights, (2 adults / 1 child) and had a wonderful experience right from the moment we met Manuela. She checked us in and gave us lots of information about the surrounding neighbourhood and Porto, which was very helpful. She also quickly responded to a few additional questions we had about Porto over the days we were staying there. The apartment is lovely, very clean, and very well equipped. Easy to feel comfortable staying here. Plus it has air conditioning, which is a huge bonus for Europe! I would highly recommend this apartment and we'll look to stay here again for our next trip to Porto.

We are delighted that you enjoyed the apartment, its comfort and decor, its central location, and our information and tips about the city!
We are always committed to providing memorable stays for our guests, and we are so happy that we were able to do so!
I’ve been renting VRBOs for over 20 years and this was the best supplied I’d ever encountered. There was every possible essential needed for our 12 day stay. We found it a perfect location from which to enjoy all of Porto. Manuela was an extremely supportive host. The check in was thorough, warm and friendly with lots of information to support a good understanding of Porto. We highly, highly recommend!!
The property is amazing. Roomy, clean and tastefully decorated. The host has added some finishing touches so it feels just home. Would highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Manuela Cunha
Why they chose this property
The apartment is very well located in the centre of Porto, in an old and popular street of San Lazaro neighbourhood (the garden of San Lazaro is the oldest public garden of the city and a reference in the centre of the city).
The location is excellent for getting around on foot in the historic centre of Porto that is five minutes’ walk from the apartment, or to walk to the bars area.
It is five minutes’ walk from Santa Catarina street, where you will find the iconic Cafe Majestic and many interesting shops, and five minutes’ walk from the fantastic Bolhão Market, Coliseu Concert Hall, and the National Theatre S. João.
Several good restaurants of Portuguese cuisine are at two minutes’ walk, as also supermarkets, bakery, butcher, fish, fruits and vegetables, etc.
The apartment does not have parking in the building, but at 50 meters from the apartment we have a garage for you to park your car.
Excellent public transport links, underground station at 200 meters with direct line to the airport. At the airport take the metro to Porto and get off at station "Campo 24 de Agosto" Once in "Campo 24 de Agosto" square take Fernandes Tomás street, walk 100 meters, take the first left and you reach the apartment 100 meters ahead! If you come by car, the apartment includes free parking in a garage 100 meters from the building
What makes this property unique
The apartment is very comfortable with air-conditioning, fully equipped kitchen, and bathrooms with gel, shampoo, body lotion, high quality bath towels, hair dryer, etc. The decoration is made with high quality furniture and Portuguese antiques.
Although very central, and in a busy street, the excellent soundproofing, the windows with thermal and acoustic cut and the air conditioning, provide a quiet and silent atmosphere and a great comfort in the apartment.
