This apartment was a great fit for 2 friends traveling together. The kitchen was well supplied. Having 2 bathrooms was great. The balcony was great for morning coffee and sitting out in the evenings. The bedrooms are on the basement level which I personally don’t like but they were fine. The location of the apartment was great. It’s situated in a residential neighborhood near the river and a 10 minute walk to shops, restaurants, etc. Walking by the river in the evening was a little sketchy for two women but we didn’t have any issues.

Great location. Lots of hills in Porto. Great apartment. Only complaint was the neighbors played their music quite loud every night at dinner time. We had to eat inside as we could sit on the patio. Kitchen was stocked with basic items. Salt and pepper provided. We left vinegar and olive oil.

It was just as advertised. The host met us at the door. She was incredibly friendly and full of great information. The place was spacious with two floors. The top floor had the kitchen and living space along with the bathroom and the bottom floor had two bedrooms and a full bath. Additionally, the place had great outdoor living space.Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Close to the things you want to see but not in the middle of them.I’m kind of a kitchen snob, and in my opinion no vacation rental has a well equipped kitchen; however, this was about the closest thing I’ve seen to it.

Everything was great. Ruis our host was great. He guided us when we arrived and helped us find parking on a busy Saturday in the city and also gave us the clue on when to move our car out front of the apartment. Once we did that we didn’t move the car again until we left. He also share a nice glass of port to toast the opening of our vacation. Also the recommendation for cafe and breakfast pastries on the general information was a great one. It was our regular spot.

Very clean and spacious apartment. We stayed for 9 days with a friend and having more than one bathroom and plenty of storage really helped to spread out. The apartment was within 10 minutes walk to a grocery store and 15-25 minutes to many attractions. It was far enough away from the waterfront to be quiet and slightly off the beaten path. We have stayed in many VRBO's and would stay here again. The apartment presents exactly as it does in the host pictures.

We really enjoyed this apartment. It was close to cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and everything we wanted to do. We walked around until late at night and felt safe at all times. Like others mentioned, the bedrooms are in the basement with semi-steep stairs, so if you have a mobility issue, this could be a problem. Access to the private yard and deck was great. We would’ve used it more for eating breakfast outside or having some wine on the deck, but the weather wasn’t very warm. Others mentioned a musty smell in the basement. There was a bit of a musty smell, likely due to it being a concrete basement and it being damp from the rain that fell before and during the time we were there. There was a dehumidifier running so that will likely help. Air freshener scent sticks were placed around the apartment and made the apartment smell fruity. Overall, a great experience. I would stay there again.
