Comfortable Porto Apartment
Sara and Hugo are excellent hosts. Hugo welcomed us to the apartment and showed us how everything worked. They responded to our questions promptly. The apartment was just as presented on the VRBO website. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the neighborhood. The apartment had ample information on what to do in Porto. We loved that the Metro was just steps away. If we return to Porto, we will stay there again.

Clean but noisy
The apartment was nice and clean but there is no air conditioning so it is very warm. We needed to keep the windows open to sleep at night to try and cool it off. THe neighbours dogs barked all night. They are very noisy. If there was air conditioning or quieter dogs we would have given 5 stars. Our stay was for four nights. We left extremely tired.

Freundlich, ansprechend, gut ausgestattet und gepflegt.
Bei Ankunft waren Kaffee und ein paar Lebensmittel sowie eine Karte von Porto vorhanden. Die Schlüsselübergabe wurde zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit gemacht. Auch war es toll, dass wir den Leihwagen kostenlos in die Tiefgarage stellen konnten. Die Wohnung war perfekt sauber und sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Lage in der Nähe der U-Bahn Haltestelle Francos ist sehr gut. Allerdings hört man die Bahn und ab und an Hundegebell.

Very convenient location, lovely stay
We had a lovely week in Porto in spite of the rain! The apartment is in a very convenient location, both for walking and metro. Getting there from the airport was very easy. Apartment was well equipped, only minor complaint was that the initial cleaning could have been better, but Sara resolved our issues very promptly. Thank you!

Ideal base for Porto close to airport
Very nice apartment, clean and bright with interesting decor. A little difficult to find (we were driving from the airport) but owner was ready on the phone to help and she met us at the entrance. Metro to Porto is 2 minutes away, but we walked to the city centre. We would recommend.

Great flat!
I stayed for 3 nights in July and loved the flat. It's clean, modern, spacious, quiet. It's very near the supermarket so very practical. I walked into the centre but there's a train station 2 minutes away. I went to the beach by bus. The owners are lovely, very helpful and reliable for airport pick-ups. It's a lovely town, will come back!
