Tres belle expérience.

Nous avons adoré la maison et l'hote est tres gentil et acomodant. Le seul point négatif est la douche, elle auait besoin d'un peu d'amour.

The location was good. Close to restaurants and grocery store. The apartment was unique and offers a comfortable stay. The only drawback is there is no toilet on the first level and the guest staying downstairs will have to climb up to the 2nd level bedroom to use shower/toilet. Other than this inconvenience it was a good stay. Host was very helpful and responsive.

Jose was the best host we could have asked for. When we arrived he spent an hour and a half showing us his beautiful city and sharing his family’s history. The home is 300 years old but had all the necessary modern conveniences. House of Charm is a perfect description. We walked all over Porto and other than using the funicular we didn’t need to use public transportation. Great location and nice and quiet.We hope one day to return to Porto and will definitely stay at the House of Charm. Thanks Jose for the wonderful memories. Wendy and Marlene.

A great welcome to Porto

José welcomed and showed me around his property which is quirky and lovely and has everything that is needed.José even took the time to show me around the area on foot recommending me restaurants and taking me to the local supermarket, all of which are an easy walk to from the property.One great plus of the property was that it was always cool, even when it was 36c I did not need the Aircon on.It is such a good location and is close enough to the metro that you can get the metro to and from the airport and take the short mainly flat route from Campo 24 Agosto on foot.Thank you José

This was a great spot in Porto. You are close enough to the good areas but far enough away that it isn’t loud from everyone enjoying themselves at night. We had a lovely time.

Great spot and warm host!

Our host, Jose, was there to welcome us! He took us on a lengthy walking tour of the area, explaining the city’s history and showing us some sites. He was warm and kind and treated us to cappuccino and traditional pastry custard tarts! Flat was authentic Portugal in a historic building very convenient to lots of spots. Perfect for 2-3 people. One suggestion only - more hot water for showers and better shower rod and curtain and better shower head. We really loved having two toilets and sinks, though! We would definitely recommend but no long showers here.

A taste of Old World Porto

José was so generous! He met us and showed us around the neighborhood, bought us expressos and pastries, and shared a bit of the beautiful historic place that has been in his family for a long time. We felt the heart of Porto there at José's charming and artful spot!

Great owner, location and stay!

Jose was fantastic. Gave us tips and ideas for our stay and made the arrival as easy as possible. Communication was perfect and answered any question we had before our arrival. The room was charming and clean. The two bathrooms upstairs were fantastic when getting ready to go out. Had everything we needed and the bed was extremely comfortable. So many great places to eat nearby. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see and it was quiet at night. Perfect room for a couple and would definitely stay here again.

very good location

This flat is beautiful and quirky and a good base to start from when exploring Porto. When considering self-catering, some more applicances are needed to make it work. Also, having access to a warm water tap in the kitchen would be an advantage. Given the proximity to breakfast, lunch and dinner places most people probably won't miss that. Other than that it is a wonderful place to be in and the host has been very welcoming and generous in giving us very useful information about this gorgeous city.

Fabulous apartment

We were very impressed from the moment we arrived. The host was so welcoming and told us everything about the neighborhood. Where to eat, shop and the highlights of Porto. The apartment is so comfortable. The bed was very good and we both slept well. Everything we needed was supplied. It is so centrally located that we could walk to everywhere. This place was a special find. Highly recommended Thank you Jose for sharing your home with us.
