nice, clean and roomy place to stay

The rental was very well maintained with everything a person needs. It was also very clean with a lovely garden. However, for us, being elderly seniors, we found it too far to walk to the city center.

Nice and quiet!

We had a comfortable stay in Porto Town- and with Rui a very warm-hearted and friendly host! Not far to the old town, only a short walk and three metro stations away. We like to recommend this accommodation. Have a wonderful time in this lovely city! H.Schubert

Perfect For Us!

My niece and I spent 3 nights is this 2 sweet bedroom apartment. Our host, Rui, is a delight! He was waiting for us when we arrived, explained the necessities, and provided fruit, tea, coffee, and even a bottle of wine! Lastly, the bedding was warm and cozy, which was perfect after a long day of touring. Thank you Rui!

A very punctual host with communication and easy to reach. A very nice place to stay and loved the fact that it had a nice washing machine and lots of space to hang dry our clothes (after our Camino de Santiago bike ride), and plenty of pods for the coffee machine:-)Also, definitely recommend Casa Cartola restaurant and cafeitaria Nandinha bakery within the walking distance as long as don't mind a bit of hilly walk:-)

The host couldn’t have been more accommodating. Introduced us to the property himself and showed up early to let us in. Nice location especially if you want to stay out of the touristy section. Recommend Casa Cartola just up the street for dinner.

Die Wohnung ist klein, aber sauber und sehr zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Der Vermieter ist sehr hilfsbereit und reagiert schnell und zuvorkommend auf jede Frage und jedes Problem. Ein kleiner Garten zum Entspannen ist für eine Großstadt ungewöhnlich. Zudem liegt die Wohnung in einem ruhigen Viertel. Alles in allem hervorragend! (Man sollte Katzen mögen .)

A quiet spot on the edge of the city

A very helpful host and a comfortable two bedroom house with everything we needed for a four day stay. Very quiet neighborhood and a nice garden. A bit of a walk to the metro station but doable. We would be happy to return.
