    Incredibly friendly host, great location, beautiful room with details to fall in love with. Just a perfect stay!

    Hemos disfrutado de una estancia sensacional. La habitación está nueva e impecable, el diseño es moderno y la cama muy y. El pequeño baño propio también lucía muy limpio. Una minicocina con un frigo muy práctico completan la habitación. El edificio es una casa antigua totalmente reformada en una calle algo solitaria. No obstante la ubicación es buena pues está junto a la popular calle Santa Catarina y se puede bajar al centro de la ciudad en escasos 10 minutos a pie. La atención que nos brindó André fue excepcional y nos dio valiosos consejos sobre la ciudad. Muchas gracias.

    Perfect for exploring Porto! Amazing place that is as close as you can get to a high end resort. 5 min walk from public transport and easy to access the city center. Perfect into given when we arrived telling us were to eat and site see!!

    Nice, well-equipped studio. Close to the heart of the city and simply "does the job". Very useful sightseeing tips & a warm welcome made us feel at home at once. Recommended.

    The host was super nice, we helped us in whatever he could and explained us everything about Porto, including nice restaurants and excursions. The place is really clean and cosy, as we could see in the pictures. However, the fact that we could not completely open the windows as we were in a low floor was a drawback. The position is okay, a bit tiring to come back from the centre as there are loads of clims, but I guess it hapens all around the city. I would recommend it, especially if you have not planned the trip in advance as the host is a great guide,always keeping in mind that is not a bright (sunny) place.

    L'emplacement est idéal pour les piétons, assez proche de tous les commerces et transports public et un peu éloigné pour la tranquillité ! La chambre est parfaite, impeccable, élégante et soignée. L'accueil est simple, chaleureux et Rui est au petit soin pour faciliter le séjour. Je la recommande..

    Accueil très sympathique, nous n'y avons passé qu'une nuit mais sommes ravi du cadre pour un couple c'est largement suffisant et très plaisant . Les équipements sont de qualités, c'est bien entretenu nous n'avons rien à redire et en cas de nouveau petit séjour à porto je pense qu'on saura ou dormir!!

    Aunque la calle parezca desierta, la casa de Rui es perfecta para una estancia en Oporto. La relación calidad-precio es inigualable. Rui es muy amable y atento, nos ayudó a ubicarnos por Oporto y nos aconsejó fenomenal sobre donde comer. Sin duda, lo recomendamos 100%.

    O quarto era limpo e tudo novo. No entanto, como é uma cave, com pouca luz natural e pouca luz natural, sentia-se muita humildade. De resto, óptima comunicação com o host e boa localização.

    Logement conforme à la description propre, fonctionnel et rénové récemment. L'accueil s'est très bien passé, notre hôte Andre nous a d'ailleurs réservé un taxi pour nous accueillir à l'aéroport, notre avion atterrissant à minuit... Très réactif lors des échanges de messages, ce qui est très appréciable. Parfait !

    Very nice place to visit in Porto! We had a little delay with our flight and therefore we were 2 hours later at the apartment. The communication with the host André was perfect! He gave us great tips and spots we had to visit in Porto. I recommend everyone to stay at this place when visiting Porto. Great for couples!

    Io e la mia ragazza abbiamo soggiornato a Porto per 3 notti. Abbiamo trovato molto confortevole la sistemazione, la camera non è molto grande ma in compenso pulita e ben organizzata. Il proprietario è stato molto disponibile e ci ha dato ottime dritte per la visita della città. L'appartamento si trova a circa 10 minuti (salita/discesa) dalla metro e con una camminata un po' più lunga si raggiunge il centro. Consigliato!

    A gorgeus and stylish room in a beautiful house. Much more bigger and pretty than the photos, completely new and with a super cozy shower :). Andrè was extremely kind with me since first second, he went to pick me up to the station and he gave me everything I needed it. I had an amazing holiday there, 300% recommended!

    This apartment was so gorgeous. It was within walking distance to a ton of restaurants and great shopping. I would stay here again when we come back to Porto.

    Sono stato nell'appartanento di Rui per due notti. Tutto come nelle foto, pulizia e gentilezza le note migliori. Anabela (ragazza che ci ha fatto il check-in) ci ha anche consigliato posti da visitare e ristoranti in cui mangiare. L'appartamento è vicino al centro e in pochi minuti (10)a piedi si può arrivare a Bolhao, un mercato molto molto carino. Per il resto tutto ok (aria condizionata, bagni, cucina ecc.). E Porto è carinissima. Consigliato di sicuro:)

    Andre looked after my check in and check out, as well as some tips while at Porto - he was really helpful, responsive. Please check whether your room is on the basement or not. As I stayed on B1, felt the room was a little stuffy - that's why I didn't give five stars.

    Rui was a good host, port on arrival and gave some good recommendations for places to eat. However, the reason I booked this apartment was because it was described as ‘entire place’ and a ‘loft apartment’ capable of sleeping 3 people. This is a single BASEMENT room with bathroom attached with a private entrance, with no windows that would open properly. This meant that there was Mould in the bathroom. Overall cleanliness was good other than that, we had fresh towels and bedding and it had definitely been professionally cleaned before we arrived, however, just make sure you’re happy with booking a basement room when you book.

    A comfortable quiet location, easily walkable to the centre of the city. Great service provided on check in, we arrived pretty late and we got greeted by a private driver for only 20€. from the photos, we expected 2 separate bedrooms, but the bed we had was very large and comfortable. Please improve WiFi connection cause it cuts out loads. Overall, a positive experience.

    Me and my boyfriend booked this room for six days. This is the first time that I had a negative experience using Airbnb, unfortunately. Positive things about our stay: -beautifil design and style of the room -heater works well -Kind host Andre -spacious shower with waterfall -kitchen with good cookingpits -good bed -quiet and dark during the night. Negative things about our stay: -soap, shampoo and toiletpaper were not enough for the length of our stay. we had to buy our own. This is something we actually tried to avoid when booking the room, because we cannot bring it on the plane and our stay isnt that lone. We found it misleading -WiFi is not working properly, the room is underground so in general there is no reach with the cell phone. This is something they should mention or improve. -the room wasnt cleaned well. There were hairs on the floor from the previous people. -the room smelled of chlorine for two days and the bathroom was still wet from cleaning when we arrived. -the bathroom has a big problem with humidity. Everything you leave in there gets wet,including toilet paper. There is a towelrack, but the towels stayed wet our entire stay. We had 2 p.p. so this was a problem. When I texted Andre, two new towels were brought, but this didnt solve the problem. In the end we had to put the towels on coathangers and hang them up in the bedroom or on the table and turn up the heater. This kind of worked but is annoying and ridiculous. -I also asked for more kitchen towels,since there was only one for six days. We didnt get any, Unfortunately. I do not like giving bad reviews, but I wouldnt have booked the room had I known this. Its a pity.

    El alojamiento es muy bonito y con estilo, por ponerle una pega, es que al estar en sótano, tiene mucha humedad y huele un poco a humedad. Por lo demás la atención ha sido de 10, la ubicación y todo. Muchísimas gracias
