Sofia is a great host. She met us at the property and explained all regarding VRBO as well as surrounding sites including restaurants and tourist recommendations. VRBO is small but very clean. Note there is a small bathroom downstairs and 1 upstairs and all 3 bedrooms are located upstairs. The walk is a bit steep going down to VRBO but very quiet and safe area,

Wonderful stay in Porto with a great host!

We, a family group of 4 adults had a fantastic stay in this house. The beds are very comfortable, everything was clean and the location is very nice. Sofia is one of the best hosts we ever met, always tried to make everything possible, gave us a lot of good ideas what to do in Porto and where to eat. At the end, we invited her on a lunch to thank her for the stay. It was an amazing experience! Thank you Sofia for everything!

Cozy and convinient

Our hostess and apartment were both, warm and welcoming. The location is great and a short 10 to 15 minute walk to most places we wanted to explore. The apartment is located close to restaurants, a small grocery store and overlook from Vitrudes park. Eventhough there are busy bars steps from the front door, the apartment provide a quiet haven. I would stay again.

Business and pleasure

The apartment was clean and comfortable for 3 adults. It was in an ideal location to get to our conference as well as close to the tourist areas and great restaurants in Porto. Sofia was very attentive and helpful for anything we needed. I would definitely recommend this apartment and if I am ever in Porto again, would be happy to stay here.

Visit Porto!

The place was very nice and in a good location. It is on a the side of a hill though, so, be careful with your luggage. Sofia was an excellent host. We had some train delays and she was very accommodating with our check-in time and greeting us. She took the time to show us the place, make recommendations on the map, and even had a bottle of Port waiting for us.

Porto weekend

We met Sofia on arrival to hand over keys for our weekend stay… on arrival she asked us if we wanted suggestions with the local area which was very helpful. Sofia is a great host as she spent time time going through where to eat and drink and places of worth to visit etc. She also ran through the apartment where everything was and said email if we needed anything.The apartment is lovely, clean, tidy and decorated to a nice neutral taste. It was a good size for 4 people to have their own space. Thanks again for allowing us to stay Sofia, it’s very clear you care for your guest’s needs and help them settle quickly so as not to waste time. The Port and Pastel de Nata was a nice touch from Sofia for a first taste of Porto.. 10/10

Sweet apartment

Though neighbor upstairs can be quite impertinent and rude, even with the kids, who were playing a board game and reportedly bothered her. If absolutely silence is expected, I’d suggest plenty of white noise machines throughout the house. Communication with owners was excellent and apartment was lovely.

FABULOUS!! So clean!

Everything about this quiet little house was perfect. The whole house had a nice feel with the stone wall & floors. This was the cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed in! Nico met us to make sure we were well acquainted with the house & he even took the time to show us a map of Porto & places to see. Delicious Port & pasteis de nata were generously left for us. Our only complaint was the neighbor. We never saw or heard her until our last morning. At 5:58am, as we were packing up, she knocked on the door & started yelling at me about us being loud. I had my backpack & tennis shoes on & we were about to bring the suitcases down as we were waiting for our Uber. I apologized as she continued to yell "Just leave! GO!" Nico had told us to be quiet between 11pm to early morning since the neighbor was right there. Being 5 adults, we were respectful of her our entire time. I'm sure we were louder than normal since we were packing suitcases & showering, but we had been awake for less than 30 minutes. I wouldn't let her scare anyone out of this perfect little house!

Cute and cozy!

Sofia was absolutely wonderful and very responsive and accommodating. She gave us many recommendations on where to go in Porto. She’s so very kind. I stayed here with 4 of my cousins. The only downside to staying here was the woman who lives upstairs. I really think she is just a sad and lonely woman who doesn’t like tourists. She yelled at us within the first 20 minutes of us being there. We were not even loud but the walls are VERY thin and you could hear everything. She would stomp on the floors and bang on the walls and slammed her door a few times.Other than that, very clean and safe neighborhood. Eventually, we just had to laugh about the old lady upstairs. It wasn’t a huge inconvenience to us at all as we were only using the house to shower and sleep really!
