Please note that for stays longer than 30 nights, a fair use policy of the utilities will apply with a limit of 80€.
For the first days, we provide the basic amenities: samples of shower gel, shampoo, soap, toilet paper, kitchen roll, sponge, dishwashing products and bin bag.

Extra keys: 20€ (extra pair of keys when available, lost keys or service to open the door during your stay).

Our stay in Porto was absolutely incredible! Maria was an amazing host—friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit.The place was beautifully decorated, immaculate, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The private terrace was the highlight, offering breathtaking views.The location couldn't have been better. It was within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and many of Porto's top attractions, making it easy to explore the city on foot.I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay. Thank you, for making our stay so memorable!
