A great stay!

We had a great stay at Luis' place - the location is ideal for exploring the centre of town and Luis was a very accommodating host in terms of checking in and out. The aircon is excellent and there was plenty of space for our large group.

Great place

Great location for exploring Porto and surrounds. Very spacious house with plenty of restaurants nearby. Also a small supermarket for the nights you want to eat in. The owner was very helpful and nice. We had a car and could park on the street if lucky or in a nearby parking garage.

Visit for group of 9 friends to Porto

Fantastic house got a large group. All rooms about the same size so no fighting for rooms. The property was in great condition. Maybe a few more mugs and wineglasses as set up more for group of 6 than 12. The communication with Luis was absolutely excellent and he was very flexible. Very easy access to the old town but prepare to climb hills to get home. House 17 was excellent for us.

Fantastic property in a great location for exploring

A lovely property with good sized rooms and all with an en-suite or separate bathrooms, just perfect for a group of 9 friends visiting the city. The house was clean and tidy and in a great location for getting around the sights of Porto. The bonus of having individual room keys meant we could all enter the house whenever we needed and didn’t have to worry about passing around a key. Luis was a great host and allowed us flexibility on our check out day as we had an early evening flight and wasn’t sure about luggage. It was a great find and would highly recommend a stay. The only small improvement would be a long mirror in each room.

Long weekend in Porto

A great property in a very central location, with enough double bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate us very easily. There’s a great bar just up the road and a really good, old-fashioned cafe where you can have breakfast just a bit further on. The property manager, Luis, was very friendly and approachable, and he was very understanding after our delayed flight meant that we had a slightly later-than-planned arrival. Would highly recommend the property. Many thanks, Luis!

Trip to Porto

My friends and I had a great stay in Porto. The house is spacious, clean, very comfortable and in a great location. We were a large group, 7, so the house was ideal. Luis was very helpful, allowing us to check in early and leave our bags for a few hours after check out. I would stay again on a return trip.

Beautiful house, fantastic host!

We were in Porto to celebrate my 50th birthday with friends and could not have stayed anywhere better! Beautiful rooms, comfy beds, great communal space, and an amazing location - close to all the centre and all the nightlife, but peaceful for sleeping. Luis was incredibly welcoming, and also arranged rooms for guests that we couldn't fit in this house in his property next door. We will be back!

Great house for large party

This is a brilliant house in a great location in central Porto with absolutely everything you could wish for to make your stay comfortable. All of the bedrooms are ensuit and indeed it is only one of a handdul of properties in Porto that can cater for a large group (10 of us). The kitchen and lounge area are very comfortable and the kitchen in particular is very well equipped with all you could wish for if you want to cook. There is also a separate utility room for washing. Each bedroom was beautifully decorated and with very comfy beds. In fact the whole house was in great conotion, very clean and recently decorated. The rooms are just as pictured. The supermarket, other shops and bars are on the next road up a slight hill. There is even a great wine bar next door. The university is about 5 minutes walk away and old Porto about q0 in yes walk. I would highly recommend the property if you want to a comfortable stay in Porto.

Beautiful big house in a great location

This place is stunning! It's the perfect combination of old townhouse and modern features. Each bedroom (apart from the single) has a super-modern ensuite bathroom. Eleven of us stayed here over the weekend and we couldn't be happier. Luis and his wife are lovely, and even drove to the airport to pick up a key which had taken by mistake when we left. The location is great too. Just round the corner from some of the best places to eat and drink, but on a quiet street. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property in a great location.

Two families, 12 total, and plenty of space. Property is in a great location, everything within walking distance or a quick Uber away. For those that don’t normally travel with cash, you’ll need to pay the hotel tax upon arrival, now 4/night, age 13.

Parfait !

nous étions 6 couples et la maison correspondait exactement à nos besoins et à nos attentes : localisation au centre historique, proche des commerces, des restaurants mais calme à la fois. Cuisine bien équipée, chambres spacieuses... Nous avons atterri une heure et demie plus tard que prévu et notre hôte, très sympathique et francophone, nous a attendu sans souci. Un très bon séjour !

Porto experience

The house had lots of spaces, which was nice for our group of 4. Everything was clean, well stocked and convenient. The rooms look fresher in the photos- we are suggesting an update in bedding would be a nice improvement as they were worn.
