Gustavo is a wonderful host. Great communication at all times. He was knowledgeable and proud of Porto and his lovely apartment. The apartment is in a good location within walking distance to lots of attractions, supermarket, bakery and transport links.Lovely, quiet and well equipped. Also very secure and spotlessly clean. Gustavo gave us lots of advice and recommendations. We would definitely stay at this apartment again when visiting Porto. Stayed for 6 nights as a couple.

Fantastic stay at this apartment. We travel all over the world and this was one of the best, if not the best, apartment we have ever stayed in. The reason is that it felt like a house instead of an apartment not because of size but due to the furnishings, layout, design etc. And the outside patio area. Bed was comfy, apartment comes with everything you need.Gustavo the owner is amazing and met us at the home to explain everything we needed to know. Went above and beyond any host we have ever had by telling us all about transportation, his neighbourhood, and much much more. He is also very fast to respond to any inquiries, concerns or any questions at all.The location is fantastic as its located on the main shopping and tourist street in Porto. But its at the end or top of the street which is extremely quiet and away from any noise or crowds. Quiet at night but once out the front door only a 2 minute walk to all cafes, shops, restaurants etc. Overall a great experience and would absolutely stay again if in Porto. Would highly recommend

Exceeded our expectations

The property was in a great location. We were able to walk to everything in the old town. The place was very clean and had everything available (such as cooking supplies, soap, toilet paper, etc.). There is an outdoor seating area to enjoy your morning coffee or tea. The property manager met us at the property and went over everything in the apartment, as well as the town. It was one of the most thorough check-ins we have had at a VRBO property. He even messaged us the next day to see how our stay was going. It was a very positive experience.

Perfect Porto Apartment

This Porto apartment was perfect for my visit. My check in was extremely late due to my flight but Gustavo, the host, still greeted me at the apartment with instructions and offered really helpful advice on how to see this incredible city. The apartment is situated right on the edge of the bustling city center and there are so many things to do and see within walking distance. It was easy to take public transportation across town with nearby bus lines and the metro. It is on the first floor so requires walking up a set of stairs - there's no lift so if you can't manage walking up one flight of stairs you should look for another place. The rental itself was clean, incredibly charming and had everything I could possibly need for my stay. I noticed the thoughtful touches throughout: complementary beverages, picnic blanket if you would like to spend time at a park, umbrellas in the event there's rain, beach towels, etc. The owners take pride in this place and it shows. Gustavo was also helpful in securing a taxi for me to the airport which cost 22-24€. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

Excellent location and Host

Gustavo, our host, was exceptionally attentive to accomodate us from even before we arrived. Upon our arrival, his genuine smile and help made us feel at home instantly. He supplied us with a city map with points of interest. This was a big help in taking advantage of our 5 night stay. The apartment was extremely cozy and very clean. The fact that it is located at the beginning of an important vibrant street, and walking distance to major landmarks, it made our stay in Porto all the more pleasant. The apartment has all the charm and privacy needed. Will definitely contact Gustavo and Sibeli on our next visit to Porto. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Great location, clean and comfortable beds.

Pros: location, owner gave great area info on check in, allowed us to check in early too; has a well equipped kitchen for longer stays and a washer. Just know that the outside patio is underground as it’s built into a hillside and gets no direct sunshine for drying clothes etc. Good for fresh air and daylight, but little else. Comfortable stay and would stay again.
