Neighborhood Overview
Miragaia is one of the oldest "freguesia" (parish) of Porto. It is very traditional, people are kind but very few english spoken. Mostly there are former fishermen, dockers and dispatchers, once Alfandega (actual Congress Centre) was a former maritime port and custom house, a few decades ago. There´s a nice bakery just next door, grocery at 50 meters. There´s lots of restaurantes (francesinhas, traditional, vegetarian and sushi) in a 400 m radius maximum. The place is in the heart of "Festa de São João do Porto" (Festival of St John of Porto) in the June 23rd night. This night is memorable, everybody marching through the city. The city won´t sleep, and so will you.
Notes
Transit
PARKING - free parking across street rua de Miragaia; also public park at 50 meters (1,20€/hour;28,6€/day) with surveilance. BUS and historic TRAM- Miragaia bus station is 20 meters away (bus nº 500 to city centre/São Bento or Matosinhos or historic tram "Elétrico") Alfandega Congress Centre is 300 meters away.

Nos encantó, Miguel es muy amable y responde rápido tus dudas! El apartamento es bello y está recién remodelado, está muy céntrico!
Jun 27, 2019Miguel is a great host and will not shy away from sharing information or tips. I stayed a while in Porto, and was pleasantly surprised to be given (in addition to a very detailed personal map upon arrival) messages detailing personalized events and a few thoughtful business related ideas throughout the time period. The area is safe and convenient for solo female travelers. The apartment is newly renovated and perfect for 1 or a couple; very romantic authentic experience. Would gladly stay again, and would highly recommend the apartment. Obrigada <3
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Nice view on the river. Very clean. And very nice host. Just a very good flat to explore beautiful Porto.
Jun 27, 2019Amazing place! Totally new and clean with great view and location. Really special and recommendable stay :)
Jun 27, 2019El apartamento se correspondía exactamente con lo descrito. Muy limpio, cama muy cómoda y la ubicación excepcional, con sitio para aparcar cerca si vas en coche. Como único inconveniente el ruido arriba y en la calle, ya que nos coincidió una fiesta. Muy buena relación calidad- precio, volveríamos y lo recomendaríamos a nuestros amigos.
Jun 27, 2019Miguel et son voisin nous ont très bien reçus, toujours à l'écoute. L'appartement est agréable. Sans être au cœur de la ville, il offre une jolie vue sur le fleuve, tout près des quais. Merci pour votre écoute et votre gentillesse.
Jun 27, 2019Appartement qui correspond à la description. Pas de mauvaise surprise. Appartement spacieux, fonctionnel et très propre. A proximité directe de l'hyper centre. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Seul bémol, l'isolation phonique, surtout quand l'appartement à côté est loué également.
Jun 27, 2019Miguel's place is a beautiful apartment in a great location - close to restaurants and sites, an authentic neighbourhood with friendly people. Miguel gave us lots of helpful information about Porto. All in all, we had a great time here, hope to come back!
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is very comfortable and light, and very ergonomical: everything we might have needed was there yet there was a lot of space. Location is good, you can walk along the river 10 minutes to the Ponte Luis, but it's rather quiet comparing to that.
Jun 27, 2019Miguel gave us some very good advice about restaurants and sightseeing. We loved the appartment. Is is spacious, clean and well and modern equipped. The appartment is very close to the town center, with a nice bakery around the corner for breakfast and coffee. And bicycle rent for a nice trip to the beach. And bus and tram stop in front of the house. Couldn't be better!
Jun 27, 2019Logement bien agencé très bien placé avec une magnifique vue sur le fleuve à 10 min de la plage. Arrêt de bus et tram en face . Petit bar sympa dans la ruelle pavée pour petits dej sur le pouce accès au centre ville par des escaliers pittoresques...
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was light and airy, and in a great location for visiting the key sites. Transport was available outside the flat, and restaurants were close by. Miguel was a very friendly host, giving advice on restaurants and events. We were very grateful to Miguel for offering to collect us from the airport as we arrived late.
Jun 27, 2019Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft. Tolles stylisches Apartment. Gut gelegen, Porto ist zu Fuß von dort prima zu erobern. Bushaltestelle und Tram ist direkt vor der Tür. Prima Bäcker um die Ecke. Es ist eine sehr belebte Ecke , das Leben spielt sich auf der Strasse ab. Der Blick auf den Douro und die gegenüberliegende Seite Gaia mit den Portweinproduzenten ist abends sehr malerisch.
Jun 27, 2019A cidade do Porto é fantástica, a posição da casa do Miguel é próxima a todos os sítios turísticos. A gastronomia é o ponto alto de qualquer restaurante, onde o vinho é sempre uma surpresa agradável.
Jun 27, 2019Spacious, stylishly decorated, clean apartment. Everything you need is available to a sufficient extent. The map of Miguel with all kinds of sights, restaurants and so on was very handy.
Jun 27, 2019Apartamento reformado, muy acogedor en una fantástica ubicación. La zona es vieja ya que está en el casco antiguo pero el apartamento está muy bien. El único pero, el ruido nocturno debido a la céntrica zona. Hay para aparcar gratis y un parking de pago al lado.
Jun 27, 2019This place was wonderful. It is in a great location. The view is fantastic. You have a ton space for 2 people which was great for packing/unpacking. The bed was really comfortable. The bathroom was great. A very clean modern home. The tips and map were really helpful. We were only in town 2 nights and it was the perfect fit.
Jun 27, 2019Miguel es un gran anfitrión. La casa es tal cual viene en las fotos. Situación inmejorable.
Jun 27, 2019It was an amazing place. The bed was so comfortable. It had a beautiful view of the river and caves. We were in walking distance of everything. There was a kind gentleman who let us in. He took time to show us everything on a map. Thanks for a great stay
Jun 27, 2019We had a great experience at Miguel’s place! He was very kind and welcomed us with helpful local tips. The location was also great and a short walk to some great restaurants/things to see!
Jun 27, 2019Everything worked as it should be. Very clean and close to all nice spots. Thank you Miguel!
Jun 27, 2019C’est presque parfait pour un pied à terre et Miguel est très accueillant, il a tout pour vous dépanner si il y a qqch. oubliée avant de partir. Ses indications et conseils sont très utiles. Je reviendrai si j’aurais encore d’occasion.
Jun 27, 2019Logement super bien placé cosy et belle vue sur le fleuve proche des transports et de la ville historique. Les voisins peuvent être gênants par leur bruit
Jun 27, 2019Miguel's place looked just as lovely as it does in the photos. What we liked in particular was that the bed is perfectly located to face the windows, which in turn faced the scenic riverside.The apartment is also only a fifteen minute walk from the centre, which made it really convenient to reach all the exciting parts of Porto quickly (and also for us to occasionally walk back for a quick rest). There’s a nice and well-equipped kitchenette with a sizeable mini-fridge. The apartment has good air-conditioning and heating. Miguel was very responsive during our stay. He offered a few activity/event suggestions during our stay, which was thoughtful and definitely appreciated. Also, on our second night, he fixed a noise complaint we had almost instantly (the neighbours in 2A, Miguel’s other Airbnb, were partying late at night and the wall separating the two apartments are thin). Another thing of note is that we never met Miguel. Upon booking the apartment, we did not know that we would only engage with his neighbour Paulo. We only found this out after inquiring about the check-in procedure one week before the trip. The check-in procedure was a somewhat uncomfortable experience. We were let in by Paulo, who definitely meant well, but ended up staying in the apartment and talking to us for just a bit too long (about forty minutes). He gave us helpful tips, which we appreciated, but there were frequent episodes of awkward silence as he has the habit of presenting most of his tips in the form of a quiz. He would make us guess what he was alluding to and would not move on until we had found the answer he was looking for. This in particular is what made the check-in procedure a bit uncomfortable. The lighting over the wooden stairway that leads up to the apartment is very weak, making it very hard to see clearly. This was not a large issue until our last day, when they had just cleaned the stairs. It was still wet when we left the apartment to check out, but because it was so dark we could not see this until it was too late. There was also no sign warning us about the wet stairway. With our heavy backpacks on, we slipped and almost fell down the stairs. Luckily, we managed to grab the banister. We realise that since this stairway is not part of the apartment itself, this is not purely the host’s responsibility, but it is the only way to in and out of the apartment and we could have seriously injured ourselves. When we messaged Miguel about this he did say they are working on improving the lighting. The paragraph proportions of this review may make it look like we did not really enjoy our stay in Miguel’s apartment, but overall it was definitely an enjoyable stay.
Jun 27, 2019Perfekt beliggenhed gæstfrihed og service, ren og hyggelig lejlighed. Kan varmt anbefale dette dejlige sted. VH Alice og Gert
Jun 27, 2019Miguel was a lovely host, taking the time to share his tips and recommendations to visit the city. The flat was fantastic and the location was perfect. Thank you again Miguel!
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was really nice, clean and well located, just 5 minutes of walk to get to the city center. The view was one of the best parts, because was on the river, the only thing that I think people should be aware of is that you have to be careful with your wallet (but we didn’t experience anything of that). Miguel and Paulo (the neighbor) were perfect and helpful!
Jun 27, 2019Die Unterkunft ist zentral gelegen und man hat einen tollen Blick auf den Douro. Besonders positiv zu erwähnen ist, dass Miguel sehr schnell auf Fragen per AirBnB-App antwortet und einem tolle Tipps zu aktuellen Events gibt. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner und angenehmer Aufenthalt. Gerne wieder!
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay in Porto, very nice and clean. BUS to ocean is under the apartament. Host is verry friendly, everything was great.
Jun 27, 2019O apartamento está localizado no bairro da Ribeira, com vista para o rio e próximo de uma área bem vibrante de bares e restaurantes. Não é muito distante do centro e o transporte público está bem na frente do prédio. O apartamento é muito confortável e espaçoso. Adorei a estadia a comunicação com Miguel foi muito boa. O lugar virou uma referência para mim na cidade.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent location, nice view of the river and lovely sunlight when laying on the bed. Everything you need for a short stay in Porto. Very easy to walk around town from and extremely close to the water front.
Jun 27, 2019LOGEMENT TRES BIEN SITUE POUR LES VISITES; PARKING A PROXIMITE.
Jun 27, 2019Não procure mais! Local perfeito para casal. Ficamos 3 noites no apartamento de Miguel. Localização perfeita , de frente para o Rio Douro, com mercados , restaurantes, bares e pontos turísticos a poucos passos. Na frente passa aprazível bonde que leva em 20 minutos até às praias do Porto. Comodidades: toalhas macias , cama confortável, lençóis e cobertas limpas e macias. Fogão de uma boca por indução, de rápido cozimento. Utensílios para cozinhar perfeitos. Ambiente claro e com excelente iluminação. Miguel foi sempre rápido nas respostas. Recomendamos!!!
Jun 27, 2019The best location!!!
Jun 27, 2019Great place. I would suggest it for a couple.
Jun 27, 2019Great Apartment with a wonderful view over the river. Miguel gave us great tips for food, drinks, sunset points etc. Walking distance to all of the main landmarks of Porto, and even then still calm in the evenings. It lies opposite to the bus and tram stop with only half an hour ride to the Atlantic and its beaches!
Jun 27, 2019Well located emplacement and good reception at the arrival
Jun 27, 2019Logement propre et très bien placé pour la découverte de la ville , ainsi qu'une belle vue . Notre hôte était très serviable , il nous a donné plusieurs conseils . Le seul bémol est le bruit de la rue et de l'appartement voisin .
Jun 27, 2019Die Wohnung ist sehr zu empfehlen. Die Lage ist sehr gut und sie ist geschmackvoll sowie sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Kommunikation mit Miguel war sehr gut und er gab viele hilfreiche Tipps für den Aufenthalt in Porto.
Jun 27, 2019Miguel is an architect and his apartment reflects the thoughtful, functional design of a professional. 7 AirBnB’s in Spain/Portugal ... this was the best... great bed, hot shower, and remarkable view of the river. Walk the the wine lodges across the river ... ride the trolley to the ocean ... amazing highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019Excellente localisation sur le bord du Douro et accès immédiat à la ville et ses principaux quartiers. Zone très animée et parfois bruyante. Si vous recherchez le calme, ce n’est pas l’endroit. L’appartement est tel que décrit. Nous avons eu une très mauvaise expérience à notre deuxième nuit due à des voisins d’appartement qui ont été totalement irrespectueux tenant compte de l’heure ( 12h00 à 3h00 du matin) - bruit ambiant infernal avec musique à haut volume. Malgré une bonne localisation, ne nous retournerions pas à cet endroit. Luc et Nathalie
Jun 27, 2019Great
Jun 27, 2019Miguel is a gracious and charming host who goes out of his way to make your stay as comfortable as he possibly can. The apartment is sparkling clean and is walking distance to everything. We will miss the many types of food and drink waiting to be discovered each night we spent roaming the streets. We will miss Porto very much and hope we get to stay at Miguel’s apartment again.
Jun 27, 2019Very nice, clean and big appartment at a good location. Got lots of tips for sightseeing, restaurants and local events. Would definetly recommend this place to others.
Jun 27, 2019Gorgeous architectural space for those who like to be in the lively part of town, had a great time, thanks Miguel.
Jun 27, 2019I spent four days in Porto with my boy-friend and Miguel’s apartment was perfect for us! It’s really nice, perfectly located and with a beautiful view in front of the river. I surely suggest it like a very good solution for a couple that would like to spend fiew days in Porto leaving the real soul of the city!
Jun 27, 2019Ein super zentrales und helles Apartment, in dem wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Leider haben wir Miguel nicht persönlich kennengelernt, aber Mr Paulo hat uns sehr herzlich Willkommen geheißen und uns viele Tips und Hinweise für den Aufenthalt in Porto gegeben. Von Miguel haben wir fast täglich aktuelle Kultur- und Veranstaltungstips geschickt bekommen, mit denen wir auch den ein oder anderen Euro sparen konnten. Selbst der Transfer zum Flughafen wurde uns angeboten, den wir dankend angenommen haben. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Jun 27, 2019Espaço muito agradável e bem localizado. Vista linda para o rio. O anfitrião nos deu várias dicas legais de como aproveitar o local. Apenas se atentar que caso forem de carro é uma rua sem saída, difícil de manobrar. Deixar o carro nas ruas anteriores ou no estacionamento pago do outro lado da rua. Tivemos um problema com o ar condicionado, mas no local havia ventilador. Se voltasse a Porto, com certeza ficaria nesse mesmo espaço.
Jun 27, 2019Cumple exactamente con las espectativas. Muy buena ubicación en en centro de la ciudad de Oporto. Atención amable. Miguel nos recomendó lugares muy interesantes: donde comer, escuchar fado, jazz, samba, etc. El apartamento tiene estilo y con buenas vistas hacia el río Duero. Limpio. Gracias Miguel.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is really nice. Had a great view and is in walking distance to a bunch of things to do. There is also a taxi spot right down the street is you don’t want to walk up the hilly streets. The only downfall was the AC was broken so it kept leaking water everywhere, the longer it was in the worse it got. There is a restaurant on the first floor which is convenient but also a little noisey for us, only because he had a toddler with us who kept hearing the people outside. But once the AC is fixed we would stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019L’alloggio è come descritto. La posizione comoda se si è in auto perché c è sia parcheggio libero che a pagamento. Non si è costretti ad attraversare la città in auto ma si arriva direttamente dalla direzione del mare. Un autobus ha la fermata proprio di fronte e il tram passa di lí. La casa si affaccia su una piazzetta, non direttamente sulla strada, dove c è un negozio di bici (con affitto) e un ristorante. Si arriva a piedi in centro in pochi minuti. La casa è luminosa, silenziosa e spaziosa. Ben arredata e con tutti i comfort e accessori per bagno e cucina.
Jun 27, 2019Very stylish place in a very central location. Perfect for a stay in the old town of Porto.
Jun 27, 2019super apartment. super location in a supercity. westayed here for 2nights in this great apartment. view over the "Douro river" perfect walking distance to everything. lovely restaurants around the corner. perfect Host. Miguel even attend us to a nice Portuguese Fado. great to experience. lovely food then have. I will definitely recommend this apartment to everybody. either you stay 1 night or a whole month. The host was very helpfull, friendly. Miguel went above and beyond.
Jun 27, 2019Location - outstanding Miguel, the host - outstanding The condo - cute, clean and functional Queen bed - very comfy Miguel was the best Airbnb host I’ve had to date!
Jun 27, 2019Great location with a great view of the river.Miguel was very helpful with tips on events going on in Porto. He also arranged a ride to the airport for our departure which was very helpful as there was a taxi strike that day that we weren't aware of. Would definitely highly recommend his apartment, and would stay there again if we returned to Porto.
Jun 27, 2019Miguel is a great host who is very knowledgeable about local attractions and provides great tips. The apartment is in an excellent location, it’s very spacious, and the the view is great!
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at Miguel’s. The apartment was in a great little community in Miragaia, and we loved exploring the neighborhood. The apartment has a great jazz terrace bar nearby, as well as a local bread/coffee shop and small supermarket. Just a note to future travelers - the community is lovely and the apartment is very accessible to the bridge and Ribeira however, you will have to do some hill climbing when heading into the main part of town! We wouldn’t have stayed anywhere else however, and welcomed the exercise. We will definitely be recommending Miguel’s to our friends!
Jun 27, 2019Great location!
Jun 27, 2019Great spot @ the Douro! Beautiful view, Centric between all the hotspots. Beatiful designed apartment, with everything you need.
Jun 27, 2019Miguel house was perfect! Nice location and clean, cozy. Miguel also very kind. So much thanks.
Jun 27, 2019Difficult to find for taxi driver. The appartment was situated very central and beautiful. It was a complete and very spacious room with everything in it. We missed a first aid box and a pair of scissors. We enjoyed your personal map with tips. The room was very noisy because of the wooden floor en the thin walls between our room and the room next to us. You could hear the voices en hear and feel the foorsteps. We didn't use the offered taxi-service, but it was nice to know that it was possible. We enjoyed our stay with you.
Jun 27, 2019Miguel’s apartment was beautiful! We were met by Mr Paulo who gave us a definitive guide to what we needed to do in Porto! At the end of the two days we were there we felt like we had a great feel for the city. I would strongly recommend staying with Miguel during your stay in Porto!
Jun 27, 2019Great place, amazing river view, good localization.
Jun 27, 2019Great Location
Jun 27, 2019Super logement. Merci Miguel
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Very clean.
Jun 27, 2019El apartamento está genial, super limpio y cerquita de la Rivera, un pelín alejado de la zona turística. Las recomendaciones de Miguel muy buenas y el trato genial. Como comentario, la reserva era para 3 personas, y Miguel nos permitió meter a una cuarta persona la última noche, pagando 32 euros por esa noche.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent location. Nice view over Douro River and Gaia peer. Everything needed for a few days in Porto
Jun 27, 2019O apartamento fica em uma localização excelente em Porto. Dele é fácil visitar vários pontos da cidade e aproveitar a vista. Mercearia e restaurantes logo abaixo do apartamento, como o acesso de ônibus e metrô muito próximos. O Miguel nos deu um mapa detalhado da cidade com ótimas indicações de bares e restaurantes. Ele também super prestativo e rápido e acessível na comunicação, nos sentimos bem em poder falar com ele a qualquer momento. Indico esse apartamento para qualquer um que for visitar o Porto.
Jun 27, 2019It was awesome.nice view,nice house. 위치도 너무 좋고,방에서 바라보는 뷰도너무좋아요. 강가가서 술 안마셔도되요.숙소가 너무 좋아요!! 걸어서 웬만한 곳 다 갈수잇고, 호스트도 친절하고. 全てが完璧だったとこです｡ 場所も部屋からの眺めも｡
Jun 27, 2019More than i expected. The location and the view is perfect. Miguel is a kind host, he gave all the useful information! I would love to visit again!
