Very warm welcome from Hector. Took the time to tell us about things to do and about the city. The appartment has recently been beautifully renovated, absolutely stunning! We even pondered staying there an additionnal day just for the wonderful appartment. High end towels and ameneties. Close to a metro station, quiet neighborhood, simply perfect. Hector even took the time to order us a taxi for our early departure. Would ABSOLUTELY RETURN OR RECOMMEND!!
Jun 27, 2019Genial la estancia. Todo perfecto.
Jun 27, 2019I would highly recommend this flat for a long or short stay in Porto. It is well located and it is really tastefully decorated! Hugo was also really helpful and gave us loads of info on the city.
Jun 27, 2019Todo era perfecto. El apartamento es precioso, coincide con las fotos. Hugo, quién nos recibió, nos ofreció todo tipo de información y su predisposición para que en nuestra estancia no nos faltara de nada fue total.
Jun 27, 2019Amazing decorated apartment! Well situated. The owner gave us incredible and tasty addresses to enjoy our trip in Porto! I would highly recommend this apartment without any hesitations
Jun 27, 2019Very nice & clean flat , with available and helpful hosts. I highly recommend this apartment for a citytrip in Porto !
Jun 27, 2019We absolutely loved our stay in Porto. Our host Hugo was very welcoming and helpful . The apartment was very clean and comfortable and felt like home. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay.
Jun 27, 2019Very pleasant stay. Close parking nearby, modern comfortable place, easy walk to the tourist center but far enough away to be separate from the crowds. Thank you!
Jun 27, 2019O apartamento é muito confortável e acolhedor: 5* Está muito bem localizado, junto a restaurantes, supermercados e transportes públicos. Apesar de estar numa zona calma e agradável, fica a poucos minutos, a pé, do centro histórico.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful apartment in a great location. Quiet safe neighborhood yet still very close to most of the major sites.
Jun 27, 2019Great location and easy to park nearby. The apartment is just as you see in the pictures. Highly recommended.
Jun 27, 2019La propreté agencement avec goût idéal pour un couple Géographique proche des 2 gares et du métro proche de la veille ville le soir si fatigue Un restaurant sur la place a 150 mètres super
Jun 27, 2019El apartamento es muy bonito en un edificio antiguo manteniendo su esencia, pero perfectamente reformado y muy acogedor. Tiene muchos detalles (amenities de baño, cafetera y cápsulas nescafe, barra de sonido para poner tu música con el móvil y Netflix) y está en muy buena zona. Aunque en el anuncio ponga que tiene aparcamiento, no es así, pero por la zona se aparca muy bien, eso sí, de lunes a viernes es zona de pago.
Jun 27, 2019Beautifully designed flat in a quiet residential area but so easy to walk to the main attractions. Paid parking is easy to find just right outside the building and free on the weekend which is a plus. I didn't get to meet Maribel but she was extremely responsive with her communication. On the day of check in, Boris was so kind and he ensured we were able to find the flat and even waited outside the building for us (as the Airbnb direction was incorrect- please be sure to use the address provided by your host). Boris provided suggestions on where to go and places to eat. While there is no washer in the unit, overall a wonderful stay in magical Porto. Btw, there is a really delicious sandwich shop around the neighborhood that serves up cheap but yummy pork sandwiches right by the park. You won't miss it as there's always a long line.
Jun 27, 2019Very nice and quiet place to stay in Porto. Very convenient location to visit the center and also move further with the metro 4 mm walk from the flat! I recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Great place with lots of room - felt so luxurious. Wonderful bed, plenty of hangers & closet space & outstanding bathroom really added to comfort. Great value & host very responsive. I recommend Casa de Tortas a few blocks away as a really great breakfast spot, with yummy food & wifi.
Jun 27, 2019The host was very nice and helpful. The apartment was nice and clean. But I think it's to expensive for what it offers. The size is not as big as it looks on the pics and the real location of the apartment is about 4 blocks more far away form the city center. The apartment doesn't have a laundry (I could see it on the pictures of the listing). You have to use and external laundry which costs 7.- Euro each time. Long story short: It's nice but too expensive for what it really offers.
Jun 27, 2019O apartamento é de muito bom gosto nos mínimos detalhes, roupas de cama e banho impecáveis . É muito confortável e tem todos os itens necessários e até o que não pensei, 2 guarda chuvas para o caso de frio. Maribel foi muito atenciosa durante a nossa estadia. O local é bem silencioso para uma boa noite de sono. Tem transporte público e todas as comodidades necessárias. Super Recomendo.
Jun 27, 2019Importante q os faciliten la dirección por correo con anterioridad. Yo tarde un ratito en encontrarlo
Jun 27, 2019El alojamiento tiene muy buen nivel. Muy bien equipado, con detalles y con gusto. La acogida es muy cálida. La disponibilidad de los anfitriones es máxima, se esfuerzan en ayudarte, lo pudimos comprobar. La zona es tranquila pero es que además dentro de la casa no se oye nada del exterior. Muy recomendable.
Jun 27, 2019Maribel is a great host! Helped with everything and really kind! The apartment is awesome, very well equipped, central and close to everything you need in Porto
Jun 27, 2019We stayed a month on Maribels place. Her hospitality is great and she helpful and available for everything. Thanks a lot
Jun 27, 2019Um espaço muito estiloso e vários toques de bom gosto
Jun 27, 2019Great apartment - very stylish and in a trendy central location. Unfortunately there is lots of construction going on in the block next door meaning we had to move properties half way into our stay on Monday morning. However the hosts were exceptionally accommodating at letting us move with a full refund. Despite this, would definitely stay again!!
Jun 27, 2019Très bel appartement, avec une delicieuse boulangerie à 1 min à pieds. Metro assez proche
Jun 27, 2019Appartement sympa, très propre et tres
Jun 27, 2019Espaço maravilhoso, decoração de extremo bom gosto, bem equipado, muito bem localizado e de fácil acesso.
Jun 27, 2019Lage: 1. OG, sehr zentral, alles was man braucht ist fußläufig, zum Hinterhof gelegen, ruhig, Rohbaustelle direkt nebenan (leider etwas Lärm morgens, ist aber nur temporär) Wohnung: genau wie beschrieben, üppige Ausstattung, für nicht mehr als zwei Leute zu empfehlen, gemütliches Bett, geräumig, sehr gute Klimaanlage Bad: sehr sauber, klein aber fein, Regendusche, sehr warmes Duschen möglich Check-in: unkompliziert, Abholservice vom Flughafen, zuvorkommender Gastgeber Ein echter Superhost! Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is beautiful and comfortable, location is nice. The owner of the apartment is a amazing, caring and pleasant. There are everything you might need during your staying. We were pleasantly surprised by the fact that there are even such trifles as umbrella, first aid set, all stuff that is needed for cooking, coffee and milk for the coffee machine. Highly recommend!
Jun 27, 2019Great little apartment close to everything in Porto.only down side was the noise from the renovations next door.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is very clean, comfortable and Maribel thinks on every detail. It’s very near the subway and there is buses a short walk. We can buy food near and there is a place you could eat too. I surely recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Maribel’s apartment is really beautiful and very well located! It is in a walking distance to every place of interest, extremely clean, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Boris welcomed me personally and gave me so many recommendations of places to visit. I would definitely recommend it and would love to start here again. Thank you!!
