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.

Great location, clean and comfortable beds.

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.

Wonderful vacation memories

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.

At the end of the stay, she handed over the apartment in exceptional conditions, both in terms of cleanliness and storage.
