Porto accommodation

The apartment we stayed in was in an excellent location. Jose, the owner, was an excellent host. He showed us around the neighbourhood, took us for coffee, then advised us of places of interest to visit. Apartment had very comfortable bed & was very cosy. Fully recommend this apartment

Eine tolle Zeit!

Wir hatten eine richtig schöne Zeit im House of Charm und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir wurden sehr herzlich in Empfang genommen durch José, es gab direkt sehr leckeren Kaffee und Pasteis de Nata. Wir bekamen ein paar richtig gute Tipps für unsere Zeit in Porto, welche wir dann auch aktiv angehen konnten. Dabei war die tolle Lage des Objekts auch sehr behilflich. Für das abendliche, gemütliche Einkehren war ebenfalls gesorgt, in der Umgebung des Hauses gibt es jede Menge gute Lokale. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit in Porto!

Great locations and great host

José’s house is on the edge of everything you want to see in Porto, so we walked everywhere. The house was well organized although you shouldn’t expect a North American look. This is a 300 year old house! There is free street parking out the door, which was very convenient. There is a laundromat and grocery store (with a good cafeteria) a block away). José took the time not only to make recommendations of where to go but also to take me to the grocery store and laundry so I would know where they are! He was incredibly helpful while we were in Porto. While the house had little natural light, it was amply provided with lamps and we were able to see and knit in the main room.

Un séjour des plus intéressants à Porto

Cher José, Merci pour votre chaleureux accueil. Nous avons eu le privilège de vivre pendant une semaine dans votre maison familiale du XVIIe siècle, rénovée par vos soins. Nous avons été ravis de l’emplacement de la maison dans Porto et de l’excellent (et grand) lit où nous avons pu bien nous reposer chaque nuit, la tranquillité du quartier aidant. Merci aussi de nous avoir fait faire le tour du quartier à notre arrivée et de nous avoir indiqué où trouver tout ce dont nous avons eu besoin au cours de la semaine. Cela a grandement facilité notre activité touristique. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les deux salles de toilette ainsi que les capsules d’excellent café que vous avez mises à notre disposition. Le Wifi fonctionne très bien, ce qui nous facilite grandement la vie. Nous avons grandement apprécié les discussions que nous avons eues avec vous. Nous espérons que nos chemins se croiseront de nouveau et que nous pourrons vous rencontrer ici à Porto ou ailleurs! Nous vous souhaitons aussi le plus grand succès dans vos projets sociaux.

very good location

This flat is beautiful and quirky and a good base to start from when exploring Porto. When considering self-catering, some more applicances are needed to make it work. Also, having access to a warm water tap in the kitchen would be an advantage. Given the proximity to breakfast, lunch and dinner places most people probably won't miss that. Other than that it is a wonderful place to be in and the host has been very welcoming and generous in giving us very useful information about this gorgeous city.

Most attentive host - José kind and caring

Location is everything here, close enough to all you want to see and do, yet far enough to get the local experience. We are regular VRBO users and also are hosts for our property in the US. Jose contacted us, met us at the unit and the. Asked to take us for a 30 min orientation of the neighbourhood so we knew where everything was. Lots of great information and we went from being in a forest to a welcoming park in the 30 min. Coffee and pasteis de nata. We would definitely recommend this unit which will sleep 3 comfortably. Bravo José.

Great owner, location and stay!

Jose was fantastic. Gave us tips and ideas for our stay and made the arrival as easy as possible. Communication was perfect and answered any question we had before our arrival. The room was charming and clean. The two bathrooms upstairs were fantastic when getting ready to go out. Had everything we needed and the bed was extremely comfortable. So many great places to eat nearby. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see and it was quiet at night. Perfect room for a couple and would definitely stay here again.

A taste of Old World Porto

José was so generous! He met us and showed us around the neighborhood, bought us expressos and pastries, and shared a bit of the beautiful historic place that has been in his family for a long time. We felt the heart of Porto there at José's charming and artful spot!

Fin de año en Porto

Pasamos las tres últimas noches del 2023 en este alojamiento con mi madre y mi novia. El recibimiento que nos dio José fue espectacular, nos enseño los puntos más importantes de la ciudad y nos sugirió un muy buen recorrido para sacarle el máximo provecho a nuestra estadía. El alojamiento cuenta con A/C por lo que no pasamos frio ni calor en ningún momento, tiene todo lo necesario para preparar tus propias comidas, cuenta con varias mantas y toallas limpias, por lo que solo tienen que llevar sus ganas de conocer la maravillosa ciudad de Oporto.
