Our week in Porto was made extra-special by our stay at this elegant, centrally located apartment. Our host Isabel was delightfully helpful with great restaurant recommendations and other advice to help make our stay a lovely one, welcoming us with port (of course!). We're very grateful to Isabel for her kind assistance.

If you are planning a trip to Porto and this property has shown up in your search then press that button now and do not miss out on your chance to stay here. Isabel is a world class host, arranging car service from the airport and providing a guidebook's worth of information on what to see and how to get there. Having morning coffee on that balcony is a wonderful experience. Don't miss out.Thank you Isabel for a wonderful stay.

This is a beautiful and well-appointed studio apartment in the heart of the old town in Porto. The host is extremely helpful and quick to provide lots of information on the area, restaurants and things to do. We loved our stay! We arranged a wonderful day tour of the Douro Valley and transportation through our host. There is even a secure luggage storage location next door to this flat. Things could not have been easier for our stay.

Host very responsive and attentive.Location central. You're in a busy area, expect some late, outside noise.Esthetics over function, perhaps. Nowhere to sit any toiletries in the bathroom.

Perfect spot, perfect host We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - perfect location for walking to so many Porto sites but the best part was how helpful Isabel was in arranging tours, making suggestions and caring for us to whatever extent we wanted. We highly recommend this apartment!

Sweet apartment in great location We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Porto from this beautiful apartment! The flat was spotless, superbly maintained, presents as pictured, and comments by others are accurate. It is on the second floor for those with mobility issues, with a quaint view up a cobbled street and the peaks of Palacio da Bolsa in the other direction. Many restaurants are in the area and Costa bakery, for my favourite pastel de nata, is up the hill. It is an easy walk downhill to the spectacular Douro River waterfront.Isabel was as wonderful as others have said and regularly checked in on us. She provided a great overview of the area with suggestions that we enjoyed. Thank you, Isabel!

A Gem in the Heart of Porto We loved this property. The location, the decor and amenities.The kitchen is fully outfitted with everything you need, and we utilised it to make dnner on a couple of occasions. Given our stay in Portugal was for a month the in suite washing machine was very handy.Our host Isabel was fantastic. She was very prompt in responding to our queries. Due to a train strike we were forced to take a bus from Lisbon. Isabel very graciously arranged a driver to pick us up at the bus station and drive us to the apartment.Isabel was waiting for us. She took the time and great care to show us around the apartment and then showed us a local tourist map and walked us through the sites , circling landmarks and restaurants making notes for us. This was certainly helpful in the coming days of our week long stay.The complimentary bottle of Port was greatly appreciated.She also coninued to follow up throughout our stay, suggesting tours and restaurants and to ensure everything was satisfactoryAll in all a terrific week in a beautiful centrally located apartment, made even better by a professional and friendly host.
