Fantastic host! Isabel was always available whenever we had a question and she made sure we had all the information we needed for a perfect few days in Porto. Apartment itself is perfect. Clean, well-appointed and very comfortable! Perfect location just a block from the river and reataurants or walk uphill into historic Ribeira district. Easy to walk all over town (as long as you are okay with hills). Highly recommend this wonderful property and host! Thank you, Isabel!

My husband and I travelled from Canada for a friends mid week wedding. We arrived before check in but we met the host at the property and exchanged keys and dropped our bags - she is so wonderful. This location is perfect, it is central to everything and we were l a 5-15 minute walk from everything we needed including the wedding in Gaia. I highly recommend booking this space it was a true pleasure staying here.

We had an amazing time exploring all that Porto has to offer, and this apartment made the trip. It was beautiful, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was unbeatable — right in the heart of the city, with everything worth exploring just steps away.What really put it over the top was the host. Isabel and her team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and got the most out of our visit. Can’t say enough good things — book here, you will not be disappointed!
