Gustavo is a wonderful host. Great communication at all times. He was knowledgeable and proud of Porto and his lovely apartment. The apartment is in a good location within walking distance to lots of attractions, supermarket, bakery and transport links.Lovely, quiet and well equipped. Also very secure and spotlessly clean. Gustavo gave us lots of advice and recommendations. We would definitely stay at this apartment again when visiting Porto. Stayed for 6 nights as a couple.
My wife and I had a very enjoyable stay in this clean and well appointed apartment. The location is very central. The host is very welcoming and helpful.

Thank you so much for your great review.
It was a really amazing experience having such wonderful guests in our Porto apartment.
And we are also extremely happy to understand that your stay has met all yours expectations.
This is a gem of a place to stay. Close enough to walk into all the main areas with street parking available a few minutes walk away. The apartment is compact but well fitted out and our host couldn't be more helpful. Would definitely return and recommend to others.

It was a wonderful experience hosting newly married Marie and Mike at Santa Catarina Patio Apartment.
Even though their stay was quite short, they were always communicative, fully respected apartment rules, and return the apartment in more than perfect conditions, something that we really appreciated.
And we are very grateful to know that the apartment met Marie and Mike expectations.
Couldn’t have asked for anything better. The place has everything you could possibly need, and is so so cute. Great location on Santa Catarina, can walk to everything. High recommend!!!

This property is adorable, clean and superbly situated. And Gustavo was incredibly responsive in his communication back and forth with us, both before arrival and during our stay. His detailed map of Porto with personalized notes of what to see and where to go was so helpful. Loved the whole experience.

Thank you so much for your review.
It was a great experience having you as a guest, and we are extremely happy to understand that your stay met all your expectations.
This apartment was perfect for our stay in Porto. It is in a great location. The apartment is lovely and even has outdoor space. We cannot say enough about our hosts. Gustavo went out of his way to assist us and provided lots of information and suggestions to make our stay in Porto an amazing experience.
Pros: location, owner gave great area info on check in, allowed us to check in early too; has a well equipped kitchen for longer stays and a washer.
Just know that the outside patio is underground as it’s built into a hillside and gets no direct sunshine for drying clothes etc. Good for fresh air and daylight, but little else.
Comfortable stay and would stay again.

Gustavo and Sibeli are incredibly caring and responsive hosts. They provided information about local restaurants, attractions, parking etc. prior to the trip and responded to any questions prior and during the stay within minutes (via WhatsApp or via VRBO.)
The apartment is in a convenient location where we were able to reach a lot of attractions and restaurants by foot. The apartment is very cute, nicely decorated, and furnished with everything two people could possibly need.
I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone who would like to visit Porto and have a memorable visit.

It was a wonderful experience to receive Margrit in our Porto apartment.
She informed us in advance about travel plans, and always communicated simply and clearly with the hosts.
At the end of the stay, she handed over the apartment in exceptional conditions, both in terms of cleanliness and storage.
Property rules fully respected, therefore we highly recommend Magrit to all hosts in the VRBO universe.
The apartment was in a great location! We could walk to everything. The apartment was super clean - perfect for the 2 of us. Gustavo was extremely responsive and met us when we arrived that evening - he even got in the car and helped us locate a parking spot! He gave us an itinerary of things we could do in Porto with the limited time that we had there. He went above and beyond!!! We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone and will definitely return again someday!
