We were especially happy with the location to shop, go out for meals, a delightful bakery nearby and easy access to touring the historic district. Needs improvement: cleaning under beds and more comfortable pillows and mattresses.

We were very impressed with the property and the location. Emmanuel welcomed us warmly and we enjoyed our four days there. We had everything we needed and were in walking distance to restaurants and sights.

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.

Great spot in Porto

A very well laid out, clean and conveniently located property in Porto. Check-in and supports were helpful and responsive. Only thing to note (and has been noted by others) is a musty smell, particularly noticeable in the lower level. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Bright, easy apartment

Everything is as pictured, no nasty surprises on the ground! The apartment is about a 10-15 min walk from the center of things. It was nicely furnished in an Ikea kind of way, which works well with the older charm of the building. We arrived earlier than expected (though still within normal hours) and the company accommodated the change easily. Also it was very quiet. Agree with another comment that the stairs are pretty steep going down, if that would bother your group.

Nice but not without difficulties

The property management team was very responsive until we actually got there. They were a bit snippy when I had a complaint, but made up for it when we had trouble operating the clothes washer. I recommend using them to get picked up from the airport, but not to the train station, because the cost is the same as it was from the airport for a 5-minute ride to the station. A taxi would have been a third of the cost. The description should be clearer & show that both bedrooms are down a steep flight of stairs. This was difficult for my mother & she fell once. Overall though, pretty good.

Lovely stay in Porto!

This is an amazing apartment on a quiet side street out of the tourist madness. It sits in an older "classic" building, but the interior has been renovated and appears as pictured. Ana arranged for a much appreciated early check-in to match our train arrival. She greeted us with a cheery smile and a glass of port. Her dining recommendations were right-on! The apartment is is short walk down to a park overlooking the river and a short walk up to the local park, restaurants, shops, and bus stops. We found all we needed in the nearby supermercados and bakeries including the fantastic local wines that we drank on the deck each day. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor which is one flight down from the entry. The first floor living area was open and airy. The kitchen was well supplied. There were two bathrooms each having a shower. Since this was our first stop, we did not realize how luxurious that was. There were 4 of us and we were quite comfortable. We would highly recommend this apartment and MajordHome management company for your travel needs.

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.

Tous les membres de l'agence The Major d'Home qui gère l'arppartement sont très accueillants et aux petits soins (Ruiz, Pedro etc.). Le seul hic, c'est qu'il s'agit d'une agence donc plusieurs interlocuteurs et en cas de besoin d'un élément, ils doivent d'abord obtenir la validation du propriétaire des lieux avant de prendre toute décision. Ainsi, nous avions eu besoin d'un aspirateur au bout d'une semaine de séjour, mais nous n'avons pas pu l'obtenir en raison de la validation préalable du propriétaire qui n'est pas arrivée avant notre départ.L'appartement est très agréable, mais ne convient à des séjours en famille de plus d'une semaine, car il manque d'équipements de cuisine et de ménage. Merci malgré tout à l'équipe de l'agence The Major d'Home :-)

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.

Lovely Flat

We stayed at this recently updated flat within a 15 minute walk of the Ribiera district of Porto. The unit was furnished with cute furnishings and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook dinner. We were met promptly at check in time and given a toasting portion of port - a very nice touch!! The bedrooms are in the basement level and because of this are somewhat damp and do have a musty smell. There is a dehumidifier in the unit but think it really needs more than one. I don’t think it was a huge detractor from the experience but if you are sensitive to odors may be an annoyance. Only one of the two full bathrooms was on the bedroom level but that didn’t bother us. We just agreed to share that bathroom during the night and then one couple used the upstairs bathroom for showering and getting ready for the day. Also, be aware that the ad says parking is available. This became a point of contention when I asked how to access it and was told there was no parking. Only after involving VRBO did I get a different answer - that street parking was available and free. We were fortunate to find street parking when we arrived but high up on the hill, so it was a bit of a struggle with all of our luggage and groceries which had to be carried down. We were able to move to a closer spot the next day. On departure day, there were no spots open. The ad really should be changed to say “parking may be available”. Overall, a great place and a good experience!
