Excellent location. Lovely clean flat.
Sofia was most helpful before and during our stay. The flat was very clean, modern and comfortable. It is in an excellent location for Porto's main attractions and it is easy to nip back to the flat from time to time for a rest. It was a very enjoyable stay. Thank you Sofia.

Great location wonderful place and kind host
When we arrived Sofia (great) greeted us with a smile and sat with us to make sure we knew all about Porto and the surrounding area. Wonderful location. The only issue is be prepared for steep street but thats most of Porto. Interior was perfect with 2 full baths and plenty of comfort. 10/10 would stay there again

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.

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.

A real gem
The apartment is lovely and located right next to the heart of Porto. Sofia is a wonderful host! She met us at the apartment to hand the keys and explain everything we needed to know. Gave us a lot of information about the area and things to in our short two days -- and greeted us with a beautiful bottle of Port wine. Besides generally enjoying the old city, I highly recommend Taberna Real do Fado, just a couple hundred steps away, for a fantastic 3-course dinner accompanied by local fado singers. Our visit to Porto was overall a real treat. Many thanks to Sofia for your excellent orientation and for the fabulous home away from home!

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.

A Spacious, Well Equipped Home With a Wonderful Host
Sofia's place is the perfect homebase for a holiday in Porto. The living space, bedrooms, and kitchen are quite spacious by European standards so you won't feel cramped at all. The kitchen is particularly inviting and could accommodate family meals around the large dining table for sure. The home is well equipped with amenities also; from the dishes and linens, to the internet, and cable TV service. Everything was present and functioned well. Sofia offered a very quick but thorough check-in, including a great orientation to Porto and sightseeing recommendations. Overall, the experience was wonderful and I would highly recommend this home away from home!

Great Little House Close to the River and Many Attractions
Our family of five stayed in this house last week and were very happy with the accommodations. The house is a little dark as other reviewers have stated, but not a big deal. Also, there is no air conditioning, but there are fans. It was not an option to sleep with the windows open as there was too much noise for the nearby viewpoint of the river and restaurant/bars. Otherwise, with windows shut, the apartment is very quiet and convenient. Our only issue was that we were in Porto during an unusually warm couple of days so it was hot upstairs in the bedrooms but not unbearable. Otherwise the apartment is great and I can definitely recommend.

Perfect location. Clean & right in the heart of Porto
Sophia met us at the apartment and showed us around. She took care to review map of Porto showing us locations of grocery stores, favorite restaurants and must see sights. She reviewed rules of the house and some idiosyncrasies to make us feel at home. It was a wonderful place for us —- 3 bedrooms & 2 baths — perfect for 3 women traveling together. The location was perfect We walked everywhere. The kitchen was very well appointed and she even had some ruby port there as a welcome. We all agreed we’d go back in a heartbeat.

modern apartment in old town area, near to main features
Overall we enjoyed our stay here, the owner was most helpful with very useful ideas and tips to experience Porto, it's sights and restaurants. She was also responsive when domestic issues needed attention. Beds were comfortable and the area fairly quiet except for Saturday night. The terrace that appears attractive in the promo might be that in mid Summer but is situated at ground level with 3 levels of building on all sides. So it was cold, dark and damp with no sun at all by early October, despite Porto still being quite warm. We didn't use the area all week despite temperatures in the mid 20s (C). The apartment had a few annoying features that the owner should address, some due to poor build /workmanship and others, design, that you'd not expect in this price bracket. We could not lock either bathroom/toilet door, they tended to slide open so we ended up resorting to wedges for privacy. Lighting in the kitchen / meals area is very restricted. There is no lighting along one main wall and the opposite wall only has down lights making any kitchen activity difficult. Better lighting should be installed. The only window in this area opens out directly on the street so passers-by tend to look straight in if opened for ventilation. This window is shuttered but these are broken and difficult to close, as one must do for security. None of these is insurmountable so hopefully fixing will make this an even more enjoyable place to stay.

Wonderful flat in Old Porto
We had a difficult time finding the flat, but Sofia was wonderful in helping us and staying with us until we were settled. Ask for directions before coming. Do not rely on GPS or you might find yourself stuck on one way, one track hilly roads;) Once we were settled the flat was perfect for 5 people. It is well located for exploring the city and very comfortable. We felt at home during our stay. Wonderful host. Fabulous Flat. Thank you! We can't wait to return!

À proximité du centre historique !
Très bonne location au centre ville de Porto, dans une ruelle calme (mais pentue proche de 35%!), proche des attractions centrales. L’accueil et les conseils de la propriétaire ont été les bienvenus, même si nous connaissions déjà la ville. Maison ancienne rénovée à la décoration sobre et réussie Petit patio permettant de se démarquer d’un appartement. Parking gratuit plutôt facile devant la maison et dans la rue adjacente, un plus quand on est véhiculé ! Nous avons regretté un manque de luminosité et un peu d’humidité, inévitable au centre de Porto et si proche du Douro. Nous reviendrons certainement !
