    I am absolutely in love with Porto. I could live there. And we chose a fantastic place. Upon our arrival the room wasn't quite yet ready, so Mariana's mother took us, by car, on a tour around the city. It was fantastic, as we were able to see more than we would have been able to cover on foot in two days. The apartment itself was lovely: simple, clean, and decorated with Mariana's own beautiful artwork. There is no kitchen, but M&J provided some fruit and water, and it's a five minute walk to cafés and restaurants. The apartment is above their gallery and located in a wonderful artistic district. We spent one wonderful day in particular exploring the old city, walking the bridge, riding cable cars, and tasting port across the river. We also ate a fantastic dinner at a restaurant called Portugalia (on the beach, near where the river meets the sea). M&J were very attentive, helpful, and friendly. You will enjoy staying in this little, artistic piece of Porto :)

    Fomos recebidos com muita simpatia e atenção. Os anfitriões colocarem-se à disposição para qualquer necessidade. O apartamento é muito aconchegante e tem ótima localização. Porto é uma cidade lindíssima, com muitos bares, gente bonita e lugares para visitar.

    The flat is exactly the same in the picture, very nice and well located. We only used old tram to go to the coast, the rest of the city can be explored by walk. But the only negative point is the insulation which is quite bad, so it's noisy during the night. Mariana is a very nice host and takes care of us. She is welcoming, disponible and gave us advices about things to see, to do and to eat :) We recommend this flat to you !

    Mein Freund und ich haben eine Woche in Porto bei Mariana und Joao verbracht - und es war toll! Mariana war so nett uns spätabends vom Flughafen abzuholen und brachte uns direkt unsere Unterkunft. Diese ist in einem wunderschönen alten Haus im Stil von Porto und war genauso wie auf den Bildern und in der Beschreibung. Außerdem war es sehr sauber und Handtücher lagen für jeden bereit. Mit Marianas Tipps, Heften und Büchern, die extra dort auslagen hatten wir am nächsten Morgen schon eine perfekte Grundlage um uns in Porto zurecht zu finden. Die Lage der Unterkunft ist perfekt, denn sie liegt auf einer Straße mit vielen kleinen schönen Läden und in Fußweite schöner Bars und Cafes. Die meiste Zeit waren wir daher auch zu Fuß unterwegs. Abgesehen davon, dass die Unterkunft top war, war die Bereitschaft von Mariana u Joao uns bei Fragen weiter zu helfen, immer da. An unserem letzten Abend in Porto war außerdem ein großer Feiertag und wir wurden von der Familie eingeladen, den Abend mit Ihnen zu verbringen. Mariana und Joao würden wir jederzeit bei uns aufnehmen und genauso ihre Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen.

    Accueil très chaleureux de la part de Mariana et Joao. Ils nous ont donné beaucoup de conseils et se sont pliés en 4 pour nous faciliter la vie. Des super hôtes que je recommande vivement! L'hébergement au dessus de la galerie d'art est très sympa et bien situé : au calme et à proximité de la plupart des centres d'intérêt de la ville. Mariana and Joao have been very nice and helpfull with us. We really recommand them as hosts. The accomodation is charming, quiet and is walking distance from most of the touristical spots of the city.

    La casa es tal y como se muestra en las fotos: cómoda, práctica, acogedora y de buen gusto. La localización es perfecta, al lado del centro de la ciudad y de las cosas más importantes para visitar, y de fácil comunicación con el aeropuerto y la playa. Mariana y João son muy cercanos, han estado muy pendientes de que estuviéramos a gusto, proporcionándonos todas las facilidades y consejos que pudiéramos necesitar. Sin duda una experiencia muy recomendable para todo el que esté pensando pasar unos días en Oporto, te dan ganas de volver pronto y repetir, sobre todo con estos fantásticos anfitriones. Tan sólo se me ocurren buenas palabras para ellos y sobre la casa.

    Mariana and Joao were the perfect hosts! Friendly, welcoming and very informative (in terms of things to do in Porto). The apartment is lovely - distinctively decorated and perfectly positioned. It's situated within the 'art' area and just a short walk from the city centre. Definitely recommended, we'll certainly go back if we visit Porto again. There's a nice cafe just along the road for breakfast and a mini-supermarket opposite for any essentials you need. A couple of minutes walk in the opposite direction is a great Burger Restaurant. All in all...highly recommended!

    We stayed in Mariana & João's flat for one night in July 2015. It's a beautifully decorated, clean flat; just above Mariana's gallery in Porto's art district. Mariana was very helpful, from giving us advice where to park our care nearby to giving us some great insider restaurant and bar tips. It's a pity we were there for just a one day, we would always come back again!

    Mariana and Joao were really nice hosts. They have a good arrangement regarding transports from airport to there place. Joao picked me up even tho I had a big delay. 3 am and ready for me is, I think, a big proof that they are here for us. The apartment was clean and perfectly matching the pictures. On a quiet street and very close to all the center of Porto. Very nice if you want to hang out at night. Very safe neighborhood ! I will come back here if I come to Porto again. I will also show them Paris with a big pleasure if they ever want to come.

    Nous avons eu un séjour très sympa à Porto, l'accueil de Mariana était très chaleureux et elle nous a indiqué plein de bonnes adresses. L'appartement est simple, agréable et calme. Il n'est pas loin à pied du centre et tout près d'un parc avec vue sur la ville et sur le fleuve. Il y a un petit restaurant très bon tout près dans la rue !

    Marina and Joao's flat is a really nice place to stay in Porto. It is a clean and well situated flat with a lovely decoration. We were glad to meet Mariana who gave us good advice (on what is to be seen, and the place where you can eat and hang out). She did her Best for us so we can enjoy our stay in her city. We definitely recommand this place ! Thank you Mariana

    Mariana & João's place is an excellent base for your holliday in Porto and they are great hosts! Together with their daughter they met us at the train station the night we arrived and had plenty of tips for restaurants and places to see. The flat is charming and well located. We would like to come back one day and will recommend Mariana & João's flat to you!

    We were welcomed by Mariana's mom. She was very nice and friendly and speaks well french. The flat is lovely decorated in an artistic way. We had also on the table some tea and some biscuits. The neighbourhood is interesting. There are 5-10 art galleries in the street and some nice paintings on the walls around. Nonetheless, there were some little minuses. The mattress is thin and not that confortable. The bathroom is a little bit old. And there isn't any kitchen. Globally, it was a very nice stay and I would recommend that flat.

    Aunque Mariana y João no estuvieron disponibles para darnos las llaves, La madre de Mariana estaba allí y fue muy amable. Nos enseñó la galería, que era muy bonita y espero en casa a que fueramos a por las maletas, además de darnos un mapa de la ciudad. El segundo piso que era el apartamento es muy acogedor y limpio. La casa es antigua pero tiene mucho encanto, la zona es muy tranquila y no está lejos del centro.

    Pasamos cuatro días en casa de Mariana y Joao. Antes de nuestra llegada Mariana respondió todas nuestras dudas rápidamente. Aunque ella no pudo quedar con nosotros cuando llegamos, nos avisó unos días antes de que lo harían sus padre. Muy atentos con nosotros, nos dieron un mapa y consejos de sitios donde podíamos ir que nos fueron bastante útiles. La casa es como se muestra en las fotos y está en un barrio muy bien situado. Hay muchas galerías de arte, restaurantes y se puede ir andando a todas las zonas turísticas. Además llevábamos coche y pudimos dejarlo en la calle sin problemas. Pensábamos que tenía cocina pero fue fallo nuestro porque en las especificaciones sí está indicado. Aún así cuenta con microondas, sandwichera, tetera y algo de menaje. Lo peor fue el ruido que hacía el frigorífico que por las noches era un poco incomodo. La estancia en general ha sido bastante positiva y agradecemos a Mariana y Joao su acogimiento.

    We totally enjoyed our stay in the lovely appartment. The house is ideally located really close to the very heart of the oldtown and the Douro river. It is quiet at night although lively at daytime. There is a romantic park with a terrifc view around the corner. The apartment is clean and neatly outfitted. There is no kitchen but a fridge, microwave, water boiler and some dishes fullfill basic needs. Even more as there are many wonderful places to eat on the street. Marianna an Joao are nice hosts, who give great advices for the perfect start in your Porto experience.

    This place was great. The location was near some beautiful gardens and central to everything in Porto. Mariana & João were really friendly and gave us detailed advice on where to eat and see art. Their recommendations were perfect. I'd definitely stay here again if I come back to Porto.

    Mariana and Joao are great hosts. They were very helpful, open and pleasant. We got from them a lot of useful tips on sight seeing. They are very responsive and answer very fast via app/phone. The apartment itself is in very good location for tourists and it has good, reliable internet connection. It was also very clean and bright, perfect for us. I can highly recommend Mariana and Joao when you're staying in Porto :)

    Very nice place and people, welcoming and helpful. The room has something of the boutique hotel feeling with the high ceilings wooden floor and paintings on the walls. It's a lovely feeling to be living in an art gallery and the location is perfect to enjoy Porto's restaurants and nightlife. Very good experience!

    We loved a lot this building and we can't find the proper words to describe it! So it's better to see it in real life by making a reservation and make sure that it looks much better than the photographs! The apartment is very warm and cosy with the appropriate equipment, all that a couple needs for a few days in Porto. Mariana & Joao are great hosts and they respect a lot your privacy! They gave us many informations about the city and Mariana gave us also a ride with her car from the airport to their lovely apartment! We visit her galleria at the ground floor of the building and we saw some great art from Portuguese artists with theme the Swallow "Andorinha". We will definitely visit them again.

    Mariana was a great host! Communicative, easily reachable and outgoing! She was quick to reply to my very last-minute request and both check in and check out went smoothly. The room was squeaky clean, beautifully decorated, charming, cosy and the bed extremely comfortable! Nice shops, galleries and bars nearby, the artistic vibe is very present which matched perfectly with our expectations! We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the room to anyone!

    A lovely couple who are always looking to make staying at the "Gallery" a better experience for their guests. Mariana was a very good communicator, with quick responses to SMSFs, e-mails & phone and, kept me well informed. I appreciate very much the effort she put in, organising a good deal on a river cruise up the Douro river. The accommodation has what you need to have an enjoyable stay. The location is a convenient base, from which to see the city, plenty of bars, cafe, restaurants etc close by to suit your needs. You can understand why travellers vote Porto one of the top cities to visit in the world. The San bento main train station was only a 10 minutes walk, Ribeiro around 20 minutes, the Carolina Michaelis metro 20 minutes, with heavy luggage. Sad to see the gravity of the graffiti vandalism in Porto in general, particularly, in the old city, historical sites included, the bone fide artists colony around Bombarda street was also not spared.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Peter

    Mariana & Joäo are a lovely hosts, who are always looking to improve the experience of their guests at the gallery. The communication was excellent, with quick replies and, information given to all of my questions. I have to thank Mariana for her time and energy taken, to get me a good deal with a Douro River cruise through the wine region to Regua. The accommodation is in a convenient location, from which to walk around and see What Porto has to offer. There are plenty of cafes, pastry shops, restaurants and bars, close by. It doesn't take long to see why the city of Porto is rated in the top few of the most liked places to visit in the world. A negative feature in Porto, is the sight of graffiti vandalism particularly in the old city, on historical places of importance especially. It is an eye sore, and, sad to see. Even the area around the bone-fide artists colony, hasn't escaped this problem. The "Gallery" has it all to make your stay an enjoyable one. I am sure that anyone coming here, will made to feel welcome, and, only have positive feedback for the Mariana & Joäo Airbnb house.

    The room is in a quiet street in the gallery's neighborhood. It's an old house and there is a lot of space. Mariana is very welcoming and ready to speak about art. Her gallery is downstraits. She's helpful in case you need some advices (I had a phone issue and she suggested me a company to have a portuguese number).

    El apartamento está fenomenal, es tal y como se ve en las fotos del anuncio. Muy bien situado, en una calle llena de galerías y a 15 minutos andando de la Ribeira. La casa no tiene cocina, pero hay microondas, cocedor de agua y sandwichera. La habitación muy acogedora. Mariana, una anfitriona estupenda. Nos recomendó muchos sitios donde ir. Repetiría sin duda! Totally recommended :)

    Mariana foi muito simpática e atenciosa. Sentimo-nos muito bem recebidos e confortáveis. Além da hospedagem ser muito bem localizada, limpa, arquitetonicamente interessante e etc., ficamos muito contentes de poder apreciar um pouco da arte que estava sendo exposta no piso inferior da casa. A localização também foi muito interessante.

    Mariana has been very kind to us and helped us being at home even with a young Child. She advised us on things to see in town, how to get by bus, things we could like and any question from her knowings of the town. The place is identical as shown on the photo, just a small problem with blowing fuse that should be fixed by now. Thanks a lot for welcoming us, it has been a wonderful holiday i recommend as people are very nice, town is beautiful, food and wine are good and not to expensive. We even get to forget the more than rainy period we had. I recommand Mariana and her place in a nice area.

    We stayed for just 1 night, but the place was nice and indeed just like how it looks like on the advertisement. It was nice and convenient especially for our short stay that it was near shops and bars/restaurants. Also the room/house was private, we liked that. Unfortunately we couldn't use much electricity because there were problems with the electricity and we got some short-circuits when we wanted to use the heater, so it was kinda cold during the night. But they're working on that. Mariana was nice and gave us a few tips about activities and spots in the surroundings.

    Mariana was great. Communication beforehand was quick and clear and she met us at the apartment with the key, a map and loads of really helpful suggestions of places to visit, restaurants to eat in etc. The apartment is on a quiet street full of galleries ( it is above Mariana's gallery). It's really close to the centre and has some lovely cafes, shops and parks near by. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Good bed. Nice bathroom with stencils on the walls. Great shower. There's no kitchen as such, but there is a fridge, microwave, kettle etc. which was fine for our needs. The apartment is light and tastefully decorated with brilliant, original art by Mariana on the walls. Mariana let us leave our bags after check out, which was really useful. We'd definitely stay there again.

    Charming hosts in a charming quirky apartment. A great location to walk all of the attractions nearby. There's also a really lovely tea house just opposite. There's no kitchen but a fridge kettle and other useful bits and bobs means you can knock up breakfast and store ingredients for a yummy picnic in the park round the corner.

    Todo resulto muy bien, si usas GPS es fácil de encontrar la calle al llegar a Oporto, es un apartamento con dos zonas y el baño está en la habitación principal, todo muy limpio y con lo necesario. se puede ir andando a cualquier lugar, pero recordar que es una ciudad en cuesta, por lo que la vuelta se puede hacer cansada si has caminado todo el día. El apartamento muy recomendable y los anfitriones siempre disponibles

    We had an amazing stay at this perfectly situated apartment, it was within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go and really helped us to have a great time in Porto Mariana gave us some great recommendations on where to eat and what to visit on the day we arrived which helped us really enjoy our stay.

    L'appartement était froid et pas très accueillant, dommage car les photos donnaient plutôt envie. Le quartier était très sympathique.

    Mariana was very nice and hospitable! Got me some tips, told about "must see" places. The apartment was very cozy and looked like on pics, even such better. The apartment made in enique style with lot of disign and fashion stuff and furniture. Everything was clean. The location is very good, in the center with lots of cafes, sightseeing and galleries. Highly recommended!

    Mariana and João have a gorgeous little place in the art district of Porto, nicely kept and very homely and welcoming. On Arrival Mariana took the time to guide us to must sees and nice restaurants including tips & tricks. Also they were always available for any questions we had during our stay. We had a wonderful stay in their house in Porto!

    Mariana et Joao sont très sympas. Très bon accueil. Tout cela en anglais. Ils nous ont orienté sur quoi faire et quoi voir à Porto. Le quartier est très agréable. Très bon emplacement pour visiter la ville. La chambre est très agréable. Seul bémol, c est un petit peu bruyant le matin à cause de la rue. Et le logement entier n en est pas vraiment un car la cuisine se résume à un micro onde et un gaufrier. Je recommande néanmoins le lieu

    I had a wonderful stay at Mariana's flat. She was very accommodating of my arrival time and provided me with a detailed overview of Porto's geography, as well as her recommendations while in the city. Her helpfulness throughout my stay exceeded my expectations. Though a little removed from the centre of the city, Mariana's apartment is located in a wonderful enclave of independent art galleries and cafes that I enjoyed quite a bit.

    Charming apartment in excellent location. Just outside the busy city centre but close enough to be able to see everything on foot. Mariana is lovely, taking good care of her guests! We only missed a kitchen, that would have made the apartment more complete, now it felt like a room.

    Mariana időben érkezett, kedvesen felvilágosított minden fontos információval kapcsolatban, de látta, hogy rohanni akarunk a városba nézelődni és kedvesen elengedett minket. A lakás nagyon hangulatos, ha legközelebb Portóban járok, biztosan itt szállok meg újra.

    Mariana's place is very cool and spacious. The flat is well located and we were able to walk to all attractions within 20 mins or less. Great value for Porto! Would definitely stay again.

    Absolutely great experience. Everything went perfect from start to the end. Mariana is THE perfect host and a great artist. She made ourselves feel at home, provided a lot of tips for visiting the city and even came to pick us at the airport! The house itself is very well located (in the city center), in a super quiet street and great wifi (for the internet addicts). It is a really neat & charming place, very typical. Lot of bars, restaurants, sightseeings accessible from the house in 5 mn walk. I truly enjoyed my stay at Mariana and João 's place. I'll definitely come back soon guys :)

    We were met straight away by João and given a tour of the city. We were made to feel at home straight away and couldn't have asked for a better introduction. We were staying for the Primavera festival and the place was perfect, comfortable beds with easy transport links. We couldn't have asked for better a host/hostess throughout the whole trip and the neighbourhood was amazing - full of lovely places to eat and drink as well as walking distance to the river and the best views of the city (as instructed by the host/hostess). Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a trip in Porto.

    Mariana's warm welcome with all details what you can do in the town and where to go in the neighbourhood was a delight. The house is clean and very nice with an artistic touch. The neighbourhood is nice and the location is not far from the town centre. I would highly recommend it for 1-2 persons staying in Porto for a couple fo days.

    Mariana and Joao were great hosts. They explained the flat and gave us a lot of tips and information about lovely Porto. The flat looks exactly like in the pictures, really nice and spotless. Everything we needed was there - even a bottle of water and some coffee to brew! The best thing for us was that we could bring our little one without any fuss - Mariana and Joao even provided us with a cot for him. The flat is also situated in a very nice street: not far from the center, but not too big or in the touristic hotspot and with a lot of galleries, a supermarket, and nice cafés. All in all, the place couldn't have been better for us! Thank you so much! ;)

    It was a fantastic experience! Mariana was really attentive and made us feel really welcome from the start! Communication before we arrived was great, quick and easy. And the welcome was even better. All her indications and recommendations were brilliant. The apartment was really nice and clean, and in a fantastic location to explore the city! Highly recommended and we hope to be back real soon!

    Mariana hat uns sehr herzlich in Empfang genommen und uns gleich die Highlights von Porto erklärt und im Stadtplan eingezeichnet. Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral gelegen im Galerienviertel mit vielen Restaurants in der Nähe. Das Apartment hat genau der Beschreibung entsprochen und ist für den Preis absolut empfehlenswert.

    I really enjoyed staying at Mariana's lovely home. Unfortunately, she and her husband were out of town when I visited, but her mom met me at the apartment and gave me an excellent introduction to the apartment and the city. Was about a 10 minute walk from the center of town, in a quieter area along a street of art galleries. A few great cafes/tea houses within 1 block radius. Would definitely stay here again if I return to Porto.

    Our stay at Mariana's was amazing. The room was perfectly clean with beautiful details and artwork made by Mariana herself. We felt at home right away. Mariana was very helpful and attentive and gave us some really useful advice for the neighborhood. She made sure that every little detail was taken care of. When we left she even gave us a lift to the closest metro station. I'd definitely stay there again!

    We had a fantastic stay in Mariana & Joao's apartment. Mariana met us when we arrived from the airport and was very friendly and helpful. She gave us lots of recommendations (including for a fantastic burger place on the same street). The neighbourhood is busy and interesting, with lots of bars and stores nearby. We were also really close to the city centre and were able to walk everywhere. A great stay!

    Stayed for one night. Couldn't possibly imagine a better option in Porto for the value! Very traditional yet comfortable apartment! Although Mariana herself was on vacation, her parents welcomed us with open arms. The beds were comfortable. Noise was minimal. Location was perfect (10 minute walk to the city center)! Will definitely recommend to anyone travelling into the area! Thank you for being such great hosts!

  • Lesley

    this was a joyful experience ! Communication with Mariana was smooth throughout and even though, unfortunately, we didnt meet her until we were leaving because she was on holiday herself, she was constantly responsive to my messages and made sure that that the apartment was ready for us and somewhere was there to meet us to hand over the keys. Initially, i was going to ask for her Porto tips of where to visit and eat but we had fun working it out ourselves and there was a TimeOut guide to Porto in the apartment which was our valuable companion for our 3/4 day stay. As everyone has pointed out, this is in a great area, in a groovy street of galleries, really lovely cafes and a restaurants a fabulous tea house across the road and some really interesting shops. Also we walked everywhere from here, only caught the tram once to go Foz and the bus back to the airport. The apartment has the most lovely feel with its solid walls, sense of history and original creative style. Its a perfect city apartment, uncluttered but still put together with flair and love. The basic food preparing facilities are just enough for this kind of trip and staying here for myself and my 11 year old son was really great fun. It is exactly as it says but the experience itself, in this apartment, in this street in this wonderful, old, vibrant and inspiring city was more of a delight than we had anticipated. If you err to the more creative and bohemian, you will really love this place!

    We stayed 4 nights at Mariana and João's place and had a wonderfull time. It was the perfect place for us to explore Porto, just outside of the touristic erea (but close to it). On the street there are nice cafes, resturants and cute boutique shops. The appartmet is also 5 minutes walk from the Crystal Palace gardens, where there are free concertes during August. We arrived late at night so João offered to pick us up from the airport. He gave us usfull tips. We also met Mariana, who showed us the gallery and her beautiful paintings. They were both very kind. We definitly recommend staying here and visit this lovely city.

  • Giulia

    Absolutely perfect! Mariana welcomed us personally and showed us her inspiring gallery and garden. She also provided is with precious suggestions about the city and some typical restaurants (don't miss Bricks and A' Tasquinha!). The flat is huge, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with Mariana's works of art. The neighbourhood is quiet, close to many places of interest and art-souled. Not only we'd stay at Mariana&Joao's again, but we'll come back to Porto exclusively when their place is available. Muito obrigada!

    We really enjoyed staying in this apartment and it was a lovely quiet arty area. It was also walking distance from the centre of Porto which was helpful on nights out. Mariana was always in contact and provided us with recommendations and other things as requested. The room was light and clean and there was a local supermarket to buy some food which we kept in the fridge provided. The area felt very safe and while in Porto you will be spoilt for choice on restaurant options. I would recommend this location and flat to others and Mariana's hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable.

    I had a very nice stay at Mariana & Joao's apartment. The location is above a gallery/exhibition space in the art district in Porto. I found the location to be handy enough and was able to walk to all the areas I wanted to visit. The Port houses were only a 20 minute walk away and the famous book shop is about 7 mins. The street is covered with excellent, tasteful and thought provoking street art which made wandering around even more enjoyable. Mariana was incredibly helpful and even took the time to sit down with me for 20 minutes recommending local restaurants, bars, and things to see by marking them on a map. This was such a nice touch and I really appreciated her going out of her way to do it, especially as she was in the middle of setting up for an exhibition that began the following day. The space itself is perfectly adequate, the bed is comfortable and the shower is powerful. Noise levels weren't a problem as the street is perfectly quiet. I would however describe it as more of an ensuite room than an entire apartment, as it is quite small and there's no separate kitchen facility. This was not a problem as there are lovely coffee shops and a really nice breakfast spot further down the street. 2 breakfasts with coffee for less than €10!! All in all I would happily stay there again. The location and the hosting was unbeatable.

  • Hinrich

    I would definately recommend this place for two persons. As we were with kids and a grandma the flat was not spacious enough for us, though we asked. The 2nd bed is in a walk through room between 1st bed (which leads to the toilett) and exit. Also garden use is only possible when the host is in the gallery. Still, the flat is nice and fine decorated and you can find plenty of opportunities to eat or drink or watch close around. The host knows the area pretty well and has pretty good recommondations. As it happend, a board of a table came down when we put a daily bag on it and we somehow stained a towel (which somehow stained another towel) with coffee. so, of course, we had to compensate the host. so, at the end, we paid pretty much for a medium experience. but, as it goes, not really to blame the flat or the host.

The bed is super comfortable and the shower has very good pressure. The apartment is clean and spacious. It's situated within the Art area, in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. Great shops, Art Galleries and Restaurants. Next time, we will be staying here for sure! Highly recommended!! :)

    Mariana & João are very nice people: they sat with us and gave us all the best tips about sights, restaurants, pubs etc. Their place is a perfect spot for reaching all of Porto. The house does not have a kitchen, but that's easily explained: if a continental breakfast for 2 costs 5Eu, you don't wanna bother preparing it yourself.

    A last minute change in travel plans led to the need for a place to stay in Porto. We were so very fortunate to end up in Mariana and Joao's lovely flat. It is located near everything you need- restaurants, attractions, bars etc. The apartment is clean and airy, and the kettle and microwave allow for preparing a simple meal if desired. Mariana patiently shared local knowledge and gave us a wonderful list of good places to eat and view the city. We would definitely stay in this location again!

    this place is a GREAT find! joão and mariana are considerate, attentive and kind hosts with a lovely apartment available. comfortable, artsy, spacious and quiet with big windows facing the street — a very beautiful place to stay. the neighborhood is residential but still interesting, just a quick walk from downtown and a 20-30 min bus ride to the beach (we were in town for a music fest and getting back and forth from the beach, where the fest was, was no problem). highly recommend staying here if you're in porto.

    The apartment is located in the artists' quarter and it is really close to many commodities and to the town center.

    My stay at the art gallery was perfect. The location makes it easy to get around with walking, but far enough from the madness to get a good night's rest. It is right next to the gardens, and there are some lovely places to eat local nearby, as well as a grocery. Mimi was spectacular and gave some of the best recommendations of any of my hosts for food, nightlife, and things to see and do. Getting to the home was easy from the airport, though I did have some difficulty with the bus there on a Sunday. I would recommend this place to anyone and would stay here again for the comfort and the location.

    Please make sure to read the fine print about the extra charge for use of the second bed! The place was a bit smaller than I expected, it's always hard to tell from the pictures (and unfortunately Airbnb does not list apartment size in square feet or meters to help). We thank Mimi for being so accommodating to our needs during our stay.

    We had a wonderful time at Porto. Mimi is very kind and she made us feel like at home. She gave us a lot of great suggestions about the city, and showed us almost everything we need to know on the map. Her place is absolutely one of the best apartments i've ever been to on Airbnb. The location is very good, next to a very quiet street, and about 15 minutes walk to Sao Bento station and the old town. It's very clean, and we owned the entire building during the weekend. :) If i go to Porto again, i'll choose her place for sure. Thank you for hosting us, Mimi! Let me know if you are coming to visit Boston in the future.

    The gallery street house was the perfect humble abode for a romantic retreat. My boyfriend and I had an absolutely lovely stay in Porto. Upon arrival, Mimi explained in extensive detail and showed us all of the lovely monuments, local restaurants, tea houses, bars and beaches, including the lovely fishers village on the other side of the river. This was incredibly helpful with this being our first trip to Porto. The gallery street house is quite central, being only a 10-15 min walk down town. The house itself was incredibly clean and cozy. It was big and airy and located in a quiet location not too far from a few nice bars and shops. Would greatly recommend this airbnb to anyone! Thank you Mimi.

    The three of us had a great stay at Mimi and João's place, located above their art gallery in the heart of the quiet art district. It was a nice neighbourhood that was still reasonably close to main attractions and walking distance (20mins) to the riverfront. Check in and out was easy and João gave us some great recommendations for places for us to visit and eat and drink!

    Lovely room in a nice central part of Porto. I would not say it is an entire home as in the description, and the garden is not accessible as in the photos. The second bedroom is also not really a separate room as it has the only entrance. Other then those inconsistencies in the description it was perfect.

It was exactly as advertised - clean, spacious and very well located (around five-ten minutes walk to some great sights and downtown Porto) - and Mimi was kind enough to provide an excellent, thorough guide to the (Email hidden by Airbnb) munication was quick and consistent throughout and it was excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend Mimi's apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay in Porto.

    Buscabamos un apartamento limpio y cómodo donde poder dormir tranquilos y eso fue lo que nos encontramos. La casa es tal y como aparece en las fotos, y las camas muy cómodas. En la calle apenas hay ruido y es un lugar ideal para descansar y recuperar fuerzas. La atención de Mimi fue muy buena. Fue muy atenta y nos recomendó varios sitios donde comer y para visitar. Además sus respuestas ante cualquier duda eran inmediatas. Solo tuvimos un problema con el calentador del agua y nos ayudó a resolverlo muy rápido. En cuanto a la zona, queda muy cerca de todo y puedes recorrer todo Oporto andando. Las zonas más turísticas quedan a unos 15/20 minutos paseando de la casa, y las zonas de bares y fiesta también. Solo un consejo, si vais en coche mejor aparcar en un parking privado. La última noche dejamos el coche en una calle paralela (Rua do Breiner) y cuando nos despertamos nos habían roto una de las ventanas del coche. Quiero dejar claro que esta mala experiencia no tiene relación con el apartamento ni con Mimi. En definitiva, 100% recomendable.

    Espaço incrível. Decoração impecável, com um toque pessoal que me fez sentir como se estivesse em casa. A localização é maravilhosa, um bairro super charmoso e muito perto do centro histórico. A Mariana é um amor de pessoa, ficaria um dia inteiro conversando com ela. Amei tudo.

    Die Wohnung ist in einem schönen, Künstler-Viertel gelegen. Sehr ruhig und doch nah an Restaurants. Wir haben super viele gute Tipps bekommen nachdem João uns vom Flughafen abgeholt und zur Wohnung gebracht hatte. Alles in allem machen die beiden das sehr gut! Danke noch mal für eure Gastfreundschaft!! Wir kommen gerne wieder. ( Wenn das Wetter besser wird ;) )

    A beautifully decorated and super cozy place! The location is fantastic and very quiet, yet a close walk to everything. Mimi is a wonderful host and has great tips on where to go and what to do. Thank you! :)

    Staying at Mariana and João's place was one of the best decisions I made while traveling in Portugal. The apartment is clean, cozy, comfortable, and super cute. Plus, they go above and beyond by leaving coffee, cookies, and a large bottle of water in the room. But the best part about staying here was Mariana. (I'm sure that João is wonderful as well, though I didn't meet him.) She greeted me at the apartment and gave me tailor-made tips, drawing them out on a map and she explained. She truly loves her city and it shows — she's passionate about sharing Porto with her guests. We even met up and she took me to the modern art museum (which is especially interesting to attend with an artist). I'm only sorry that I didn't stay here longer.

    Alojarse aquí casi forma parte de la experiencia de descubrir Porto. Es una casa-galería de arte antigua, con encanto ¡y en pleno centro! Perfecta casilla de salida para empezar a perderse por la ciudad. Mimi y Jõao se mostraron muy amables y atentos, contestando casi al instante cuando contactábamos con ellos por cualquier motivo. El nivel de higiene de la habitación y baño es excepcional; y, por pequeños detalles, se nota que le ponen mimo al preparar la llegada de sus huéspedes. Lo que sí nos quedamos es con las ganas de ver/disfrutar el pequeño jardín de las fotos. Pero, en resumen: es totalmente recomendable.

    Dit is een topplek! Mooie artistieke wijk, rustig gelegen maar toch in het centrum. Mimi was een ontzettend goede gastvrouw die ons uitgebreid van tips voorzag waar we veel aan gehad hebben. Het huisje is niet al te groot maar zeer praktisch, leuk ingericht en goede bedden. Een absolute aanrader!

    If you are an art lover, the area is perfect for you as it is beautifully decorated with tasteful street art and nice little places waiting to be found. The place is walking distance from the baixa (centre). I stayed with two other people and we found the rooms cozy and perfect for a couple in the bigger room and a sole friend in the smaller room.

    An atmospheric apartment in a great part of town. Mimi was there to meet us and provided some great ideas on what we should see around Porto. Good walking distance to everything.

    I stayed at Mimi’s place for three weeks and everything was perfect. The location is on a quiet street with nearby fun. Directly across the street are two cafes with back patios that feel like an escape from the hustle and bustle. For those considering this place for business travel, WiFi and workspace were excellent the entire trip. The connection allowed for uninterrupted video conferences and streaming Netflix on my laptop. And Mimi is great! She was overly communicative throughout my stay and had many recommendations. If you’re looking for a place to rest your head after enjoying the beauty of Porto, stop looking — this is the place for you !

    Una casa de artistas en una calle llena de galerías y tiendas de arte, decorada con mucho gusto y personalidad. No pudimos conocer a Mimi en persona, en su lugar conocimos a Joao, que fue muy atento y nos dio todo tipo de indicaciones sobre la ciudad. Son una pareja encantadora. Repetiríamos sin dudarlo. Un diez!!
