Our hosts Gonçalo and Francisco were very welcoming and the apartment was impeccably clean and cozy, with little snack treats such as fruit, chocolate and tea. It's location is also great. Gonçalo picked us up from the metro station and gave us great tips to explore the city. I strongly recommend it to anyone visiting Porto.
Jun 27, 2019Location is excellent. The apartment is on the main drag but it's still quiet because it's a shopping street and the place is on the top floor. Great breakfast locales just outside the place, spacious and well kept apartment with an artsy vibe. Francisco and his brother are great guys who really want their guests to have a good time. Great price for what you get. 5 minutes to the river Douro. Would recommend to anyone!
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was very nice and clean. Location is great, walking distance from the main attractions of Porto. Francisco and his brother are great hosts, they wanted us to have good time and gave us lots of tips for discovering the city. Would definitely stay there again!
Jun 27, 2019Great central location above the shops in pedestrian area. Metro Bolhao is around the corner, so don't bring your car, it's 10 euros extra a day in nearby parking lot. Studio is recently refurbished by Ikea. Owner Francisco and his brother Gonzy are very helpful. Streets can be noisy at nights, you are in centre of town.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was very central and Francisco very helpful in showing me where the sites where etc. The apartment had everything you would need and was clean. Only issue was it was noisy as there was some sort of young hostel across the way so very noisy until maybe 2 in the morning! I would recommend the apartment, for those that are not light sleepers, as the location is very central and handy for sightseeing
Jun 27, 2019Out trip to Porto was great and mainly because of the nice apartment we lived in! Gonzo, Francisco's brother already picked us up from Bolhao station even on a holiday in Porto. He gave us good recommendations to spend our time in Porto. The apartment is nicely furnished and you have everything from towels, soap, etc. it lies right on a pedestrian shopping street which you can have a view at from the balcony. Thanks again for hosting!
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is very lovely and clean, and in a great location for exploring the city. The communication with the hosts and getting the keys was easy - we were also picked up at the metro station when we arrived, even though it was quite late. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, and we got great recommendations on what to do. We would stay here again!
Jun 27, 2019My girlfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights this week, and we had an amazing time. When we arrived, francisco's brother Gonzy came to meet us at the metro station and gave us many helpful tips on sights and activities in the city. He was very helpful and easy to reach, very welcoming. Everything in the apartment was exactly like in the pictures, cozy and clean. The apartment was ideally located and we could do everything we wanted by foot. All in all a very nice experience, we would recommend this location to everyone!!
Jun 27, 2019We love love loved staying here and adored Porto. Gonzy met us as arranged and his passion for Porto - and for making sure his guests enjoyed it- shone through. He gave us plenty of great tips through the trip and was so helpful. We really appreciated his help and it made our time in Porto the best experience! The apartment itself it great and comfortable, and with a gorgeous view of the street. Best place we've stayed this trip so far. Highly recommended (if we could give 10 out of 5 we would!).
Jun 27, 2019This apartment is amazing! It is cozy, clean, comfortable, stylishly decorated, and in an excellent location - which is always one of the most important factors for me when traveling. You can walk everywhere in the old city easily. The balcony is a huge bonus! My boyfriend spent sunset having appetizers and wine while people watching. Francisco was super responsive, even while on vacation with his family, and Gonzy - his brother - met us at the metro, showed us the apartment, drew a detailed map of everything we should see in Porto, and then personally led us to an excellent dinner spot and a to a bar to listen to fado. He also took us to an awesome lookout spot so we could see the city view at night. I could not recommend this apartment more highly, and will be looking to stay here when I return to the beautiful city of Porto.
Jun 27, 2019Un accueil particulièrement chaleureux dans cette belle ville de Porto. Conseils et petits présents, amabilité... Gonçalo et Francisco ont l'art de recevoir. L'appartement est parfaitement situé dans la rue piétonne et commerciale de la ville, il est propre, lumineux et correctement équipé. À recommander les yeux fermés! Muito obrigada!
Jun 27, 2019Tolle kleine Wohnung mitten in Porto. Von dort aus konnten wir die Stadt sehr gut zu Fuß aus erkunden. Franciscos Bruder, Gonzy, hat uns sehr gute Tipps (Restaurants etc.) gegeben. Wir können die Wohnung nur jedem empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder.
Jun 27, 2019Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Francisco! Joli appart parfait pour 2 jours à Porto. Tout y est, même le tire-bouchon ;)
Jun 27, 2019This place is a perfect stay in Porto! It is at the heart of the town, near every places. The apartment is so beautiful with decorations and super clean; seriously it was a flawless clean! Gonzy was the one who welcomed us. He was an amazing host. He gave us the best tips for Porto!! All the places, what to do and where to eat. We found the best restaurant from his advice! Highly recommended to stay at this place!
Jun 27, 2019très bon accueil de Francisco et son frère, quartier hyper central et agréable ; l'appartement était propre et fidèle aux photos. seul bémol : assez bruyant la nuit et le (Website hidden by Airbnb) on veut dormir. sinon, parfait.
Jun 27, 2019Andrea y yo hemos disfrutado muchísimo de la ciudad y de nuestra casa en Porto por unos días. La descripción del anuncio es fiel a la realidad: apartamento luminoso, cómodo, limpio y acogedor en el que no echamos nada en falta. Berta, la mamá del anfitrión, nos dio la bienvenida y fue agradable con nosotros; después conocimos a Francisco en el check out, que mantuvo el contacto con nosotros a lo largo de la estancia y no dudó en hacernos una recomendación que resultó de muy buen gusto. La situación es bastante céntrica, en una calle peatonal de mucho transito, rodeada de comercios y tiendas de todo tipo, muy cerca del mercado de Bolhao y con muchas facilidades de transporte (aunque se puede ir a pie a cualquier punto de la ciudad). Recomiendo este alojamiento para visitar la ciudad y llevarte la mejor impresión posible.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is located in best area, very good condition, balcony. You could also use the kitchen Suits for 4 people Thank you once again
Jun 27, 2019Very cute flat in very central Porto. If you want to get what it feels like to be living in the "Invicta" this is definitely a good option!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was an excellent host and his apartment was as presented in the photos. He was extremely attentive and kind and made lots of helpful suggestions on what we should do in Porto. He also rang the taxi company when we needed to get to collect our hire car. The apartment was suitable for our needs, well lit, on small side but very clean. It's location is excellent for seeing the old city as is only 10 minutes walk to the Ribiera district.
Jun 27, 2019très bon accueil de Gonzy, le frère de Francisco, très sympathique, qui nous a donné beaucoup d'informations pour bien visiter Porto. Joli appartement, lumineux, propre, conforme aux photos, très bien situé dans Porto. Seuls bémols sur l'appartement : il manque de rangements (pas d'armoire ou d'étagère) et est très bruyant car donnant sur une rue commerçante, pavée où des voitures passent (si vous avez le sommeil léger, ça risque de vous gêner ++ !). A noter la réactivité de nos hôtes car le dernier jour en partant, nous avons posé les clés dans la boîte aux lettres mais sans vérifier que la porte de l'immeuble était ouverte, or elle était fermée ! Heureusement, Gonzy est vite arrivé car nous avions notre avion. Bref, très bon séjour à Porto dans cet appartement.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great time at Franciscos place. Nice, clean and great location. We obtained lots of great recommendations, tried them all and they were perfect. Super hosts!
Jun 27, 2019Accueil chaleureux du frère de Francisco , qui nous a guidé sur les visites à faire à Porto ; bel appartement propre et bien situé . Petits points négatifs : la literie peu confortable et manque le bouchon de baignoire pour prendre un bain ...
Jun 27, 2019Had a lovely time in Francisco ' s sun filled central Porto apartment. He was a great host showing us the major sites on a map and giving great advice. Recommend 100%.
Jun 27, 2019Clean modern flat in good location. Francisco was very welcoming and helpful, giving tips on things to do in Porto. The small balcony has space to sit and has a lovely view. The he flat is located on a popular shopping street which is bustling in the day and quiet in the night. Would stay here again. Thank you.
Jun 27, 2019We had a wunderful time in Porto. And the flat from Francisco was just perfect. Very central. He gave us good tips to check the area and the resaturants were perfect. When we come back there is just one place to stay...
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was a great communicator and met us on time. The flat is cute, clean and compact and in a central spot that's quiet at night. Perfect!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco welcomed us in his cosy apartment. He also highlighted all the interesting spots in the city for us. Apartment was clean and nicely equipped with everything we needed. It is also located very conveniently in the city. It is close to subway station Bolhao on subway line which goes directly from airport (25mins approx.) and close to sites you should visit while in Porto.
Jun 27, 2019We stayed in Francisco's apartment 3 nights and enjoyed every minute there. Apartment is very clean and in great location. We loved everything there! And thanks for the great tips You gave us, Francisco!
Jun 27, 2019A nice appartment in a better location and a great host. Francisco is a very nice and helpful person. A great weekend in a great city. 100% recomended.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is in an excellent location - very easy to get to from the airport via the Metro. My husband and I had a wonderful time in Porto. Francisco was an awesome host. The internet in the building wasn't working, so he went out and bought a temporary solution for us - which showed us that hosting and making sure his guests are comfortable is very important to him. He gave us a map and laid out the city for us, giving us lots of recommendations. Communication was great and he was always quick to help. Our stay at the apartment couldn't have been better! Thanks, Francisco!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco ist a very nice host and offers this amazing flat:) it was just perfect for a weekend in porto! Very nice location, very clean and the pictures show the reality:) Thanks a lot! Hope to stay there ine day again:)
Jun 27, 2019L'appartamento è situato a due passi dalla metro con collegamento diretto per l'aeroporto e comodo per visitare la città. Pulito e moderatamente silenzioso. Francisco è stato molto premuroso nell'accoglierci, consigliandoci degli itinerari per la scoperta della città. Grazie Francisco!
Jun 27, 2019Apartamento maravilhoso com óptimas condições. O Francisco foi impecável connosco e o seu irmão super acolhedor na recepção. Tem a vantagem de ter uma localização muito fixe e de estar bastante perto de transportes. A repetir!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco welcomed us immediately, providing with great information and ideas of where to go. Francisco's place is extremely convenient to the Metro and to walking everywhere. Place was clean and as advertised. We would stay there again. Only downside..would be to have faster internet. But, it was a great place to stay and enjoy a quick stop to Porto.
Jun 27, 2019Logement super bien situé dans l'artère principale piétonne de Porto (vous trouverez pas mieux niveau situation géographique), le logement est conforme à la description; très propre. Nous avons été très bien accueilli; nous sommes arrivés quelques heures plus tôt et Francisco s'est arrangé pour envoyer quelqu'un de sa famille nous accueillir; très bonnes explications de ce qu'il y a à voir, où aller, où c'est cher, des bonnes adresses de resto etc. Vraiment super expérience pour le prix il y a pas mieux.
Jun 27, 2019Franciscos Wohnung ist wunderbar gelegen, man kann von hier das Zentrum von Porto bequem zu Fuß erkunden. Wir sind erst sehr spät Abends in Porto angekommen aber das war kein Problem und um kurz nach Mitternacht hat uns Francisco die besten Plätze, das beste Essen und zahlreiche andere Insidertips zu Porto gegeben.
Jun 27, 2019Super appartement, très bien situé, lumineux, nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Merci à Francisco et Gonçalo!!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco's apartment was perfect for a weekend in Porto. It's very comfortable and in a great location on a pedestrian shopping street.
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was a very good host. We arrived quite late from our flight and he arranged someone to check-us in. Very quick answers. The flat is located on Santa Catarina road a few steps from the metro station Bolhao! Which is extremely convenient. There is a beautiful church just at that exit. Everything is accessible by foot in Porto so the flat was ideally located. Flat is ok, a tid bit noisy in the night but nothing too annoying. Good for a weekend stay.
Jun 27, 2019Francisco Waa very nice with us! We were all the time in contact with him so if we had questions for example where we could eat the best bacalao con nata he helped us and recommended us very good places! The flat was also very nice the only thing we didnt like was that the flat was a little bit too cold sometimes. But the rest was amazing! The best thing was that we could take the wifi to the streets so we could also contact with our mobilephones someone on the streets! It was very nice!
Jun 27, 2019Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und haben tolle Tips erhalten was wir in Porto machen können. Bei Fragen haben wir immer eine Antwort erhalten. Das Apartment war sauber und super zentral gelegen. Wir konnten alles gut zu Fuß erreichen. Vielen Dank Francisco für deine Gastfreundschaft wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
Jun 27, 2019Appartement très charmant et très bien situé pour découvrir la ville. Un excellent accueil avec plein de bons plans à découvrir à Porto et aux alentours.
Jun 27, 2019We enjoyed our stay in Francisco's flat in Porto. The flat is very central and close to the metro. It was very clean and looked exactly like in the pictures. Francisco's brother showed us the flat and gave us helpful infos about Porto, because Francisco was stuck in traffic. Both made a great effort that everything went fine. Thank you both for everything.
Jun 27, 2019My short stay by Francisco was great - location is perfect start point for sightseeing, shopping and partying as well. Francisco is a great person, who makes Your stay uncomplicated and feeling You welcome.
Jun 27, 2019Francisco nous a accueilli avec le sourire et nous a donné de nombreuses idées de visite et de bonnes recommandations pour les restaurants. L'appartement est fidèle au photo. Il est très pratique même avec un bébé. (Lit parapluie mis à notre disposition). Le quartier est génial pour sillonner facilement à pied le centre historique. Seul bémol: très bruyant les nuits. Le gros plus: Francisco nous donne un boîtier pour avoir une connexion partout où nous allons!
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was very well located in the centre of the city. Owner was very kind and always easy to reach. portable wifi was very handy!!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco's appartment is a lovely place to stay in Porto! It is located right in the pedestrian zone and is looking exactly like in the pictures. His brother welcomed us and provided us with a city map in which he marked all the important spots, restaurants and so on. We carried his map all over Porto, it was really great. The studio was clean, cozy and perfect for two people. The nights have been a little noisy but therefor you're staying right in the city center. We can only recommend Francisco's studio and would love to come back!
Jun 27, 2019We LOVED everything about this. Firstly, Francisco was incredible responsive with communications, and he gave us a great tip about where to park out car right near by. We didn't know exactly what time we were going to arrive, but his brother came and met us at short notice. The apartment is in a gorgeous pedestrian street in a wonderful location. His brother (I'm forty I didn't catch his name) is so enthusiastic & proud of Porto, and shared many tips with us. Each and every one was just perfect. We felt that we had real insider knowledge. The rooms are great, bright and clean with a great view. We made breakfast each morning at home - there's a fruit store and bakery near by. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Thank you got everything and I really hope to visit your amazing city once again!
Jun 27, 2019Appartement agréable et très bien situé ce qui permet de visiter Porto à pied. Francisco nous a très bien accueilli. Je recommande ce logement.
Jun 27, 2019its a great spot - in the heart of porto downtown! apartment is very comfortable and has everything you need. Francisco provided us even a baby bed for our 8 months baby which was a very nice surprise, as we didnt expect it to be. there is also pocket wifi router provided that makes your life much easier!!! stongly recommend this place!
Jun 27, 2019The flat is just as described. Great location, just in the main shopping street. Fantastic host that took the time to tell us about restaurants and places to visit. Would definitely come back again.
Jun 27, 2019El apartamento tiene una buena ubicación. Sería necesario mejorar el cierre de terrazas para aislar de ruidos , sol , etc
Jun 27, 2019Appartement très bien situé et très propre, seul bémol un peu de bruit. Francisco est un super hôte qui a pris le temps de nous conseiller pour notre séjour (merci pour l'idée du vélo!) Très arrangeant pour l'arrivée et le départ à l'appartement
Jun 27, 2019Very well positioned, not the cleanest but acceptable. The owner was very friendly in showing us all the things to see in Porto.
Jun 27, 2019We stayed with my friend at Francisco's place for one week. Franciso was very kind and gave us good insider tips, including the visit of the beautiful wineyards at Piñhao. Here the key facts (+ and -) of our stay: + great central location, 3 minutes on foot from metro station, direct connection from OPO Porto aeroport to Bolhao (train E) + Closed to local supermarkets, coffee shops and other commercial shops + top floor + clean and very luminous flat + wifi stick at disposal, practical when internet needed outside + helpful and very kind host Other points to mention: - could be a bit noisy for people with light sleep due to central location and paved street. Furthermore there were some building guys renovating the neighbouring flat starting at 8am (maybe only in July?) - windows blade not really "fixed" and lightcovering. May be an issue if you don't like to be woken up early by the morning light - bedmattress in the bedroom: you feel the steel springs, not comfortable at all. By chance there was the sofa in the living room. Ok for one week if your friend doesn't move too much by night. - toilet paper forgotten at our arrival and cleaning lady came before the agreed leaving time at our departure day. It can happen but it would be good to pay great attention to such essential details. Having this in mind, we still would recommend the flat to other Porto travellers :) Obrigado. Cheers Aurélie
Jun 27, 2019The appartment is great, same as the pictures. Very good location, a short and nice walk to the centre and ribeira. It is small but has everything and is clean. Keep in mind you have to walk 3 stairs though;) Fransisco is very adequate with communication. We absolute recommend!
Jun 27, 2019Notre séjour chez Francisco c'est très bien passé. L'appartement est identique aux photos et la propreté est irréprochable !!! Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillie par son frère qui nous a donné d'excellents conseils pour les visites et la restauration (mention spéciale au "Ô Pepino" pour le poisson frais !) Le boitier qui permet d'avoir le wifi partout avec soi est vraiment très pratique. Une prestation de qualité à recommander !
Jun 27, 2019Francisco er en veldig hyggelig vert, både vennlig og effektiv. Du trenger ikke kjenne byen på forhånd: Han har kart tilgjengelig, og gir deg den info du ønsker. Leiligheten er liten og kompakt, men føles luftig med tre balkong-dører. Ettermiddagssol. Fungerte godt å bo to voksne og to barn. Ligger i fjerde etasje/ 3.dt, i den roligere øvre del av en Portos travleste shopping-gater ( tilsv. Nordre i Trondheim/ Bogstadveien i Oslo). Kort veg til alt. Frokostkaffe: du kan velge mellom 6 steder rett ned på gateplan. Kort vei til matvarebutikker og stort grønnsaksmarked. Perfekt for variert ferie, både by og strand. (For strand: ta feks. buss rute 500 eller lei deg/dere en sykkel). Det er lett å komme til Bolhao med METRO fra flyplassen, kort vei til leiligheten. Temperaturen i slutten av juli: varierte perfekt mellom het midtby-varm til mer luftig, sjøby-sommer. Lett å lufte leiligheten. Vårt inntrykk av de som bor og jobber i Porto: vennlige, løsningsorienterte- og spesielt positive om du har en unge med Porto-fotballtrøye.
Jun 27, 2019We had a good time in this apartment. Francisco was very kind and took all the time to show us the best places in town. The location is good, in a vibrant street with a lot of shops and cafes, next to the metrostation, and only 10 minutes of walking to the city centre.
Jun 27, 2019Appartamento piccolo ma carino situato in una delle vie più vive di Oporto. Francisco è molto gentile e ci dato ottimi suggerimenti. Da sistemare le saracinesche e la presa di corrente. Consigliato.
Jun 27, 2019La location, l appartement et l'hôte très bien , rien à dire , hormis que je recom mande cet endroit sans problème
Jun 27, 2019Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed our stay in Franciscos flat and also in this lovely city Porto. This flat has a perfect location. Directly in the big shopping street and near to nice restaurants. It was very clean. I also like the small balkony. Franciscos brother gave us lots of nice tips and insiders for things to do and good restaurants. I would recommend this flat, especially for couples. Thank you Francisco:)
Jun 27, 2019Muy bien todo
Jun 27, 2019Francisco's apartment was great and Francisco was an excellent host! My partner and I were warmly welcomed by Francisco upon arrival. Francisco provided us with maps of the city and was happy to share tips and recommendations for places to go, things to do and where to eat/drink. The apartment itself is in a fantastic, central location on one of the main streets of Porto, with many shops, restaurants, cafes, mini markets and sights within walking distance. It was well equipped and had everything we needed, including a lovely balcony. We really enjoyed our time in Porto and would happily stay here again if we had the chance! Obrigada!
Jun 27, 2019Super accueil par Francisco le logement bien équipé est situé dans une rue animée et à proximité des différents centres d'intéret ce qui nous a permis de visiter Porto à pied bien aéré et malgré la température extérieure l'appartement était tres agréable les différentes informations recues par Francisco nous ont aussi aidées pour les restaurants typiquement locaux notre séjour a été une réussite
Jun 27, 2019Nice place to stay in Porto, well located, nice view from the balcony.. to one of the streets were people are walking or sitting in cafes!
Jun 27, 2019The place itself is just fine. Clean, provides you basic amenities, is very centrally located (easy to get to by metro- maybe 10 mins), and on a pedestrian only street full of shops and cafes. The location could make for late night noises but I didn't mind. Francisco was the real star of this location. He was friendly and generous, taking the time to map out all the "must sees" during our stay. When he is not our host, Francisco and his brother operate a great mobile coffee van throughout town (and roast their own beans!). Of course we checked it out. We loved the coffee so much we bought a bag!
Jun 27, 2019Perfect location in a perfect area. Perfect to reach because we arrived very late. Everything was like it look like on the photos. We felt a little bit like as we would live there... For 2 it is an absolutely fantastic spot. You have everything what you need in the flat and in front of the door you just walk around and have all the nice places, where you can have a wonderful coffee, Tosta Mista and around the corner the wonderful atmospere of Bolhao Market. On every corner there are a lot of restaurants so you don't have to cook. We enjoyed it very much and would be pleased to come back one day. It was wonderful! Thanks!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was very helpful during our stay. The apartment is great and very well located. I really recommend it.
Jun 27, 2019El apartamento estuvo muy bien, todo tal como aparece en la foto, el único problema fue la cama, igual debería cambiar el colchón porque tuvimos que dormir en el sofá cama. Por lo demás todo bien.
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was a very friendly and hospitably host!!! Highly recommend
Jun 27, 2019Muy bien ubicada, perfecta para pasar unos días en porto!! La casa corresponde con el anuncio. Nos recibió su madre, muy simpática y amable!!
Jun 27, 2019Perfect place to stary in the center of Porto! It is in the main walking street and is close to everyting. Cozy and beautiful place.
Jun 27, 2019We had the best time in Francisco's place , he was very friendly and easy to communicate .The place was everything we needed modern comfy , spotless flat with beautiful views , the location is perfect , very central close to tube and all of the touristic attractions , bars and restaurants , top value and highly recommended .
Jun 27, 2019Tot molt bé. L'apartament està bé, té tot el necessari, està força net i és com es veu a les fotografies. En Francisco és una persona amable, flexible, de bon tracte i disposat a donar consells sobre llocs a visitar i llocs on li agrada menjar. La situació és molt bona, en una zona cèntrica i al costat del metro, amb línia directa a l'aeroport. La ciutat ens ha agradat molt i ens hi hem trobat molt bé.
Jun 27, 2019Overall, a pleasant stay. It's a full small apartment with all basic amenities, mint condition, on Porto's main shopping street, close to center. Everything in walking distance and a very nice and safe area. Francisco was very helpful, very communicative and caring to give lots of advice. The flat however could benefit from some care on details, it looks like rather as good for tourists feeling but lacking some intimacy and also practical things which would make it cozier for a weekend visitor.
Jun 27, 2019A casa do Francisco está numa localização excelente! Tem espaço mais do que suficiente para um casal e um bébé (o nosso caso) e é a limpeza estava impecável! O Francisco foi exemplar na disponibilidade para agilizarmos o nosso check-in e para arranjar uma cama para a nossa filha! Recomendo!!!!
Jun 27, 2019Très bon séjour à Porto dans ce logement très bien situé ! Juste à côté du métro (accès direct à l'aéroport) et dans une rue animée et commerçante. Accès rapide au vieux Porto. Un grand plus : le hotspot Wifi que l'on peut trimballer partout avec soi. Petit bémol : pas de chauffage dans l'appartement, donc en hiver, prévoyez des vêtements chauds.
Jun 27, 2019Francisco is a very friendly and helpful host, it was easy to communicate with him. Flat is very nice, bright and located close to center of Porto. The only drawback was a construction site in the adjacent building. The works started at 7 AM, so it was impossible to sleep after. If you aren't planning to wake up at 7 in the morning on your vacation (because of jackhammer knocking right in your wall), I would recommend to check with Francisco that construction works are finished
Jun 27, 2019Casa central e acolhedora no centro do Porto, ideal para visitar a cidade pela primeira vez e poder explorá-la a pé. Aliado a um host simpático, descontraído e sempre disponível não poderíamos ter tido experiência melhor!
Jun 27, 2019Espaço mt acolhedor e confortável. Gostamos mt de lá estar!
Jun 27, 2019A localização é excelente, no meio da rua de Santa Catarina, boa para ir a pé a toda a parte central da cidade. O apartamento é simpático, espaçoso, limpo. A cama é confortável, excelente colchão. Francisco e o irmão foram muito gentis no check in, e no check out pudemos deixar as malas lá até mais tarde sem qualquer problema.
Jun 27, 2019We met Francisco's brother, he was adorable and gave us very nice advices! The appartement was confortable and very well situated. The stay was perfect! Thank you :)
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was really flexible with the check in / checkout which made the trip more comfortable for us. He bring us some free maps, and showed around the things we could visit or tell us how to reach them. Gave us some really helpful tips, so we could go beyond the touristic-surface and get a different point of view. The apartment is super well located, in the middle of old town/ shopping district, everything is reachable in a 20 minutes walk. The flat was cleaned nicely. Only negative thing is the amount of the hot water, you have to save some to be able to take a shower, although it was march, in the summer it should not be a problem I guess. So all together is a great apartment to rent to get to know Porto and around.
Jun 27, 2019We stayed for two nights in Franciscos AirBnB, the location was perfect, directly located at the biggest shopping street of Porto. Nightlife was just 5 minutes walk, as well as the Waterfront near the River. We found everything in our accomodation we searched for. The furniture as not been very emotional but everything you need is at the right spot! The only thing, we worried about has been a construction site just one house further down the street, on Friday we woke up early because it was a little bit noisy, but on the weekend it was alright! Franciscos brother welcomed us well and gave us some good tipps for visiting Porto :)
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was a nice host though we actually never met him. His brother gave us the keys and had great insider tips for experiencing Porto like a lokal. Unfortunately, there were some issues like a very old mattress which made me feel every spring of it in my back. Most of the time we had cold water and the building next door is being renovated which can be pretty loud. We didn't have any sheets at all so that it was revealed that the blanket wasn't the newest one, either. Altogether, the best part was the friendliness and the location.
Jun 27, 2019Un petit nid douillet! Tres bien (Website hidden by Airbnb) k accueil super✨
Jun 27, 2019Great location, lovely home. We had the best time in Porto and this apartment is the perfect spring board from which to explore the city. It is an easy walk to most places in the city centre and there is also a metro station which is a 2 minute walk from the apartment. This goes directly to the airport and around the city. We had an early check in and met Francisco's brother on arrival, he was so so helpful and gave us some great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Fantastic stay and a great Air BnB experience.
Jun 27, 2019We were very pleased with this apartment. The description/pictures fit reality, Francisco was a great host and recommended great places to go and to eat. He greeted us in the apartment and was flexible with check-in times and we were able to arrive earlier and leave later than the typical hours. The apartment itself was ideal for us (my friend and I), with nice and clean rooms and bathroom, a small kitchen, where we prepared breakfast each morning, and was close to everything, so we could come home and rest our legs before heading out again. It was also close to shops, restaurants, cafes, nightlife, the historic district and various other nice sites. Would greatly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Porto. We only had a small issue with the hot water, but notified Francisco and he was helpful and was quickly there to fix it. No problem.
Jun 27, 2019Appartement idéalement placé dans la ville de Porto puisque sur la rue santa Catharina. Possibilité de tout visiter à pied ou métro et transports à proximité. Petit bémol sur la nuisance sonore occasionné par les travaux de la résidence voisine (qui commencent dès 7h le matin) Logement très propre et produits de premières nécessitées ainsi que linge de maison à disposition.
Jun 27, 2019Franscico's place was great, it made our trip that much better staying in the apartment. It's in a perfect location, clean and had lots of personailty. The only problems we had were with the hot water in the shower which was actually cold and also on a weekday building works start quite in the morning. But just prepare yourself for an early start on a weekday and it is more than lovely otherwise!
Jun 27, 2019Absolutely stunning place. Perfect to explore the city from. I loved it and Francisco is a good host.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is as nice as it looks in the pictures and the position is great! We were two friends and we felt very comfortable there. Many thanks for the good tips from the host!
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is in the center of the old city porto, we walked by foot everywhere took the bus only one time to the other side of town. It's a nice and cozy flat, has a nice balcony which you can see all of rua santa catarina and Francisco is a nice host! The best and most surprising thing is the Wi-Fi which you can take around with you out side the apartment just need the battery to be full and you have a connection all day!
Jun 27, 2019Très bien placé. Très propre. Un peu bruyant. Idéal pour couple.
Jun 27, 2019GREAT location! Super accomodating and helpful. Francisco was super communicative and answered all our questions in a thorough and timely manner.
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was a fantastic host! Our flight was delayed resulting in a late arrival at the apartment. Having called Francisco on arrival this was not a problem and Francisco arranged for his brother to meet us and take us through everything at the apartment. His brother detailed all the great things to do in Porto on a map, of which we took great pleasure in ticking off! Thanks for your suggestions. The apartment was situated in a fantastic spot! You will find shops, restaurants, bakeries, cafes and bars within in a short walking distance... literally the moment you walk out of the door. We very much enjoyed Cafe Majestic & Bop, which are only a stone throw away. You can walk to the river within 15 minutes and along the way you'll find lot's of cafes, restaurants and tourist attractions. There is also a taxi pick up/drop off point close to the apartment making it easy to get around if you'd rather not use the metro or buses that are also only 2 mins away from the apartment. Oh and a market selling fresh veg, fruit, cheese, meats and other goodies! I can not express how perfect the apartment was located for us! The apartment suited our needs perfectly and we very rarely spent much time there other than to shower and sleep. We did cook a take on the classic English Breakfast one day and even though the kitchen is small cooking up sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes and toast was not an issue. Lot's of pots, pans and cooking utensils available although the kitchen would benefit from the purchase of a toaster in my opinion. The under counter fridge/freezer was large enough to accommodate our requirements having stayed for a week. There is also an iron and ironing board available if you need it. Overall the apartment is fantastic, it's not 5* but certainly works as a superb base for you trip and at the end of the day, holidays or not to be spent indoors! My only additional suggestion would be to provide more towels however I am 100% sure if I had called Francisco to ask for more then he would have been happy to arrange for this. Porto is an absolutely amazing city! The people are extremely friendly and enthusiastic to help tell you about the history and hidden gems within their amazing city! The nightlife is buzzing, loads of cocktail bars (I recommend the Tonic Porto's) and everything else on the cocktail menu haha! There are some distilleries to have Port tasting sessions. You can jump on a very affordable tuk tuk tour around the city, jump on a boat or even a ride on a cable cart. There is a wealth of history within Porto and there are tonnes of historical monuments, churches, chapels and museums to explore. We enjoyed discovering the places that you'll not find as many tourists and although this can mean an 2 hour walk you can hire a bike...
Jun 27, 2019Despite our late arrival, Francisco and his friend gave us a warm welcome at the flat and gave us great tips what to do, where to eat and so on (follow his advice on where to eat fish, it's worth it!). The apartment itself is located in a pedestrian street, super central and within walking distance of everything - we only used the bus to get to the beach which is a little further away from the old town. In the apartment, you'll find everything you need and even a small kitchenette. The only downside for us was the construction site next to the apartment - but well, nothing a host can do about it. All in all, great stay in a super central location for a more than reasonable price - thanks Francisco!
Jun 27, 2019Great flat. the communication with Francisco was very good. It was even possible to drop off our luggage earlier and the leave it in the flat longer on our last day. Only negative thing was that the floor was pretty dirty when we arrived. Lots of dust, dirt and hair from the guest before us. Nevertheless a recommendable flat! :) thanks
Jun 27, 2019Very good location, host very nice, and good trick, he provide a little tool for don't pay internet's roaming for mobil phone in the city
Jun 27, 2019Great central location , you can walk to all main sights and restaurants from there. Very clean and nice apartment. Francisco is super friendly and helpful - he showed us all must visits on the map and gave recommendation for the restaurants. Definitely will stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019La situación del apartamento está muy bien, lo que es importante. El apartamento esta muy bonito y cómodo, lo único quizás es que no hay ascensor y son tres pisos, pero acabas acostumbrandote.
Jun 27, 2019The location was great on a main shopping strip but closed to traffic so it was quiet a night. Fransisco was easy to communicate with and went out of his way to accomodate us when some renovations were happening next door, by putting us in his other aoccomdatins. We would recommend and stay again.
Jun 27, 2019I had a great time staying at Francisco's apartment. All communications with Nathan. were quick and easy. And check-in and check-out was very easy to organize. Apartment is clean and tidy. It has also all amenities you that you might need. The balcony is a very big plus. The apartment is just a couple of doors from Bolhao metro station and so very central. I highly recommend to stay in this apartment.
Jun 27, 2019Séjour agréable dans ce logement très bien situé et facile d'accès ( aéroport et gare de bus) . Merci pour les petits conseils lors de notre arrivée. Logement bruillant car donne sur une rue très passante. De plus des travaux ont lieu juste à côté c'est un peu gênant même si ce n'est pas de la faute de l'hôte .
Jun 27, 2019God leg
Jun 27, 2019Francisco and his brother are wonderful hosts! This apartment is in a great location near everything in Porto. I highly recommend this Airbnb!
Jun 27, 2019Great location in the city centre of Porto. Francisco was very easy to reach at arrival. The place itself is basic, which was fine for us to explore Porto.
Jun 27, 2019Merci Francisco pour ton accueil et pour tous tes précieux conseils sur la ville de Porto ! À notre arrivée, Francisco nous a indiqué quels lieux visiter, où aller manger, et nous a fourni une carte et une borne wifi portable ; tout ceci nous a grandement aidé à planifier notre voyage. L'appartement est agréable et son emplacement est parfait (il donne sur une grande rue commerciale, mais attention aux nuisances sonores le matin et durant la nuit).
Jun 27, 2019Супер
Jun 27, 2019Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.We were met and greeted warmly and the information we received was great. The location was in a perfect position to explore the city and we so enjoyed our stay in Porto.
Jun 27, 2019A la llegada Francisco nos atendió muy amablemente, nos explicó todo lo que podiamos hacer y visitar en oporto detalladamente. La casa está en la calle comercial de Oporto, buenísima ubicación, tienes todo lo que puedas necesitar (tiendas, supermercado, bares). El casco viejo está a 10 minutos andando. Hay un metro cerca pero no es necesario cogerlo ya que está todo cerca, eso si, podéis cogerlo para ahorraros alguna que otra cuesta. Al poco de llegar a la casa nos dimos cuenta de que el salón y la cocina estaba llena de hormigas (puede que fuesen de las obras que hay al lado del piso). Es cierto, que Francisco resolvió el problema a la mayor brevedad posible, fue muy resolutivo. Al día siguiente las hormigas volvieron a aparecer, esta vez en la habitación.
Jun 27, 2019Everything was great! Perfectly located apartement and friendly host!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco is extremely profesional and helpful. He even came to pick us up from where we parked our campervan to take us to the apartment. Top host!!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was a great host, responding really promptly to any question I had before I arrived, helping me take my bags upstairs, offering advice about sightseeing and restaurants and even booking a taxi for my early morning trip to the airport. The apartment needs a little maintenance and there is some construction next door that adds to the noise level during the day, but it is a charming little apartment in a fantastic location! I would love to have a chance to stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Francisco's flat is very well located, pleasant, quiet, and is equiped with a mobile token making is possible to have Internet connection everywhere in the city, really useful! He provided us a lot of information about Porto as well.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent accueil de la part de Francisco qui a pris du temps à notre arrivée pour nous indiquer ce qui était sympa de faire dans la ville de Porto. Très bon conseil de sa part aussi pour les restaurants. Francisco a également été très disponible et réactif tout au long du séjour si nous avions quelques questions à lui poser. Appartement propre, lumineux et bien situé. La mise à disposition d'un boitier pour la wifi est géniale, cela nous permet d'avoir la wifi partout dans la ville. Seul petit bémol : les travaux le matin dans l'immeuble d'à côté ...
Jun 27, 2019Appartement très agréable et Bien pour 1 Ou 2 nuits. L'emplacement était idéal pour tout faire a pieds. Quelques petits équipements en plus serait parfait mais dans l'ensemble nous n'avons pas été déçus. Et le + : la clé internet que l'on pouvait emmener avec nous pour avoir le wifi partout !
Jun 27, 2019Good location Clean apartment Good communication from host Shower a bit tricky temperature wise
Jun 27, 2019Appartement très bien placé (100m de la station de métro bolhao). Clé 4g valable dans toute la ville prêté par Francisco. Point négatif, des travaux dans l'immeuble mitoyen donc dès 7h45 le matin bruit très fort de marteau piqueur, de perforateur, de masse etc... Même avec des boules quies insupportable...
Jun 27, 2019Apartamento bem localizado e ok para quem ficará passeando pelo Porto.
Jun 27, 2019Perfect location, everything is very close to walk!
Jun 27, 2019Francisco is a fantastic host, he met us on time and took the time to give us a tips and recommendations for seeing the best things in Porto in the short amount of time we had there. Overall, a fantastic stay. The location of the apartment is ideal for anyone wanting to see the city and be in the middle of the goings on of Porto!
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful apartment in the middle of Porto! It looks exactly like the pictures and you have plenty of space. It's basically located in the middle of a shopping street where you can also find the next metro station. Walking 15-20min you get to Ponte Luís and a lot of nice restaurants next to the water. The communication with Francisco was perfect and he also gave us some insider tips. Only negative aspect is the building site next door - but anyways I would definitely recommend this apartment!
Jun 27, 2019Good location, great host. After 8 AM its impossible to sleep due the construction in the next house. But you don't go to sleep there :)
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was a friendly and communicative host, we appreciated him coming to meet us when our flight was delayed and we arrived late. The flat was in a very nice location and generally in ok condition. A little run down (cupboard door missing, broken window blind, stains on the ceiling) which is fine, didn't really affect the experience but worth noting that it does look a little shabbier than the pictures. Unfortunately I must say that the mattress was very very uncomfortable. We are both sound sleepers and have no problem when travelling but this was unbearable to feel the metal springs in the mattress. We moved to the fold out couch from the second night on and this solved it. We are not fussy travellers but would not have managed another night on that bed. ;) And the sound of the construction site has been mentioned before - this is not something that can be changed by the host, but it's worth mentioning that loud meant jackhammer right behind the wall from 8am. Not for the faint hearted or those with small children! ;) For a night or two it's fine as a base to explore from, if you don't mind a couple of compromises.
Jun 27, 2019Small apt in very central location. Francisco was wonderful.
Jun 27, 2019Francisco was a great host, we arrived a little early and he was able to meet us as soon as we arrived. Francisco gave us great recommendations on what to see and where to go to eat. Apartment is great for 1 or two people staying for a short period of time. Mattress on the bed was very uncomfortable, we ended up sleeping on the futon. Location is on great pedestrian street only with a lot of shopping and cafes. There is construction next door which made things a little noisy, but nothing that effected our sleep.
Jun 27, 2019Francisco's place was bigger than we expected and very comfy. The location is convenient being so close to Bolhao station and Francisco was a very friendly host. Only small downside: there was a lot of noise from the street late at night and in the morning there was construction going on next door - it wasn't too bad but maybe something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper!
Jun 27, 2019Nice little place, francisco was a helpful host and its in a great location.
Jun 27, 2019Apartamento ótimo, e muito bem localizado. Permite curtir o Porto todo a pé.
Jun 27, 2019nice appartement, very well located. The accomodations are basic but fine for small period. The was very good!
Jul 27, 2019The apartament is well located but it looks quite different in real than on the photos: there were no bulbs in few lamps, no tv and no carpet plus stinking fridge, just to name few. Beware the rain in Porto as some water could get inside the house then. It also looks like its host made cleaning very long time ago (and answer on my messages just day before the arrival).
Jul 27, 2019Central, close to everything.
Jun 27, 2019Apartamento sencillo pero con lo necesario para pasar unos dias en Oporto. Muy bien ubicado, en una de las calles principales del centro histórico; perfecto para moverse a pie. Nos recibió Francisco, muy amable y agradable, y nos dió algunas indicaciones para movernos por la ciudad. 100% recomendable!
Jun 27, 2019Francesco ist ein sehr netter Gastgeber, der uns gleich zu Beginn viele schöne Tipps zu der Stadt gegeben hat. Wir hatten schöne 5 Tage in Porto. In der ersten Nacht war es sehr sehr laut, jedoch waren die folgenden Nächte besser. Das Zuhause ist für zwei Personen groß genug, uns fehlte jedoch Ablagefläche. Ein Kleiderschrank ist nicht vorhanden, genau so wie ein badezimmerschrank. Wir haben für die 4 Nächte 3 Handtücher bekommen. Unserer Meinung etwas wenig. Das wichtigste jedoch, was uns persönlich wirklich einen Tag versaut hat, ist, dass wir unsere Koffer nicht in der Wohnung/ im Haus lassen konnten bei Check-out und uns damit ein ganzer Tag geraubt wurde. Das haben wir bis jetzt bei Airbnb anders erlebt.
Jun 27, 2019O apartamento está muito bem localizado para quem vai visitar o Porto. Bom para estadias curtas.
Jun 27, 2019Emplacement idéal , rue piétonne et tout est facile d'accès à pied (ou presque). Seul bémol : mauvaise insonorisation donc le sommeil est parfois compliqué. Mais je recommande quand même
Jun 27, 2019The flat is very stylish! Location is really good - just a few steps to the metro station (the line that goes directly to the airport), very close to the shops and restaurants and old city center. Had some problems with shower and WiFi during our stay + there was no hairdryer which should have been mentioned. Hope the host will make some improvements. Anyway, would recommend the flat!
Jun 27, 2019The flat is very well located and we enjoyed our stay in Porto.
Jun 27, 2019Super Location, very nice appartment and a very uncomplicated owner !
Jun 27, 2019Polecam miejsce. Atuty to bardzo dobra lokalizacja i podpowiedzi Francesco odnośnie zwiedzania Porto. Duży plus dla gospodarza. Był bardzo elastyczny co do godzin wyjazdu i przyjazdu.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at Francisco's place. Check-in was simple and Francisco was completely willing to find an accommodation for our arrival. The location is great: easily walkable to the main attractions. Staying here is much recommanded!
Jun 27, 2019Clean, perfectly located - 1 minute to the metro. A lot of breakfast possibilities, in the middle of the city center. Highly recommended, would book again!
Jun 27, 2019Logement propre, grand et très bien situé ! Parfait pour un court séjour sur Porto. L'hôte nous a prodigué de bons conseils sur les différents lieux à visiter pendant notre séjour. Seul point négatif, l'appartement est situé dans une rue bruyante.
Jun 27, 2019I stayed in this apartment for the whole of July 2018 had a great time in Porto. The apartment is extremely well situated—close to many tourist hotspots but also within easy walking distance of the old city and Ribeira. The stairs up three floors were less of a hassle than I expected and the bed was wide and comfortable. The view out over the largely pedestrianised Rua Santa Caterina is endlessly fascinating and while the noise levels increase towards the end of the week, I did not find this a problem. Being on the edge of the inner city, I was also encouraged to explore the northern arc from Trindade to Campanhã to areas such as Bonfim where relatively few tourists are encountered and real life plays out. The apartment is good value for money, but correspondingly cuts some corners and if at all fussy or fastidious you would be advised to look elsewhere. The facilities are basic and slightly tired. The kitchen facilities are extremely modest. Some basics such as toilet paper and a tea towel were lacking. The wifi was flaky at first but Francisco promptly responded to my pleas for help and the problem was resolved. (Hint—plug the modem directly into the USB socket of your laptop; downloading the NOS app seemed to help also.) Portugal is noted for many achievements and excellences but it is not a world leader in plumbing so expect a few malodourous moments (the incense burning in the stairwell gives you the hint) and some erratic behaviour of the basics. The sink and basin are well behaved but the shower answers to itself—it was usually either cold or scalding hot with little nuance in between. Make the most of good moments here. But it is hard to be too critical of this apartment given its price and location, and I would recommend it for the seasoned single traveller or younger couple seeking clean, basic accommodation.
Jun 27, 2019Super bon emplacement mais rue et immeuble un peu bruyant (travaux...) l'appart gagnerait à avoir quelques équipements en plus. Ideal pour couple car le lit est top cependant le canapé lit un peu moins... Fransisco est très gentil et de bons conseils.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, it’s very small.
Jun 27, 2019L'appartement est très bien placé pour visiter Porto, et particulièrement le vieux Porto. Tres bon séjour !
Jun 27, 2019Appartamento confortevole in posizione strategica per il centro e diversi punti di interesse nella città. Trovandosi in zona pedonale, ma comunque a pochi passi da una strada percorribile in auto, ci si immerge subito nell'atmosfera cittadina con la possibilità di raggiungere con pochi passi lo storico caffè Majestic. Francisco si è rivelato un host preciso e disponibile.
Jun 27, 2019The pictures are different than the actual place. The table is replaced by an unstable camping table which was broken. Also a door and toiletpaper were missing and the lamp was not working. We wrote Francisco a message about this so hopefully he will give the place a check so the next guests have a nice stay!
Jun 27, 2019Great location, would recommend for sure!
Jun 27, 2019As many reviewers before me have stated, the apartment needs a bit of TLC. The location brings the value up as it is within 10 minutes walking from the main bus station, 30 seconds from the metro with connections to the airport, about 25 minutes walking from Luís II Bridge & the duoro River. There is also multiple cafes on the doorstep and 2 mini-supermarkets about 5 minutes walk away. We chose this apartment as it was a) the same price as a room in Porto but with the comfort of an entire apartment b) the amazing location Would I stay again? No, probably not, unless Francisco listens to the reviews and gives the apartment some updates and provides more basic amenities. We had a fab time in Porto but it was a shame the apartment wasn't the standard we've had across Portugal on our trip. If you chose to stay here then note there is no shampoo, very few kitchen utensils, no mugs, no toaster or microwave and a random array of cupboard "bits" (E.g. Pasta & rice crackers) and the kitchen cloths looked like they'd been used for several months. There is a fan in the bedroom but not much sound insulation from the street below as there is no shutter for the bedroom doors. Francisco was quite slow to reply to messages and did need follow-up messages to get a response, but he was very prompt to check in and seemed a nice guy. He sat down to orientate ourselves with the map and gave some personal suggestions which were great!
Jun 27, 2019The flat was really nice. Its really close to the best parts of the city and directly in the shopping street. His Brother explained us the good things to do in Porto when we arrived. The flat was clean and the kitchen had everything you need. And the bed is really comfortable! Only negative Point: there was mold in the bathroom and in the living room.
Jun 27, 2019un bon choix pour passer quelques jours dans Porto, Francisco ferra le nécessaire pour gérer certains points
Jun 27, 2019The flat has got everything you need and more, it is very spacious and perfectly located. Francisco is a very kind and friendly host. We highly recommend!
Jun 27, 2019Well placed and nice apartement. Very cheap for its quality. The street was a bit noisy at night but we had a great time there. Thanks Francisco
Jun 27, 2019Tidy and clean apartment with everything you might need. Good location, however the address on Airbnb does not correspond to the address on (Hidden by Airbnb) maps (which we found very confusing). The host was very hospitable and friendly.
Jun 27, 2019Very nice place! Great location! Chris was adorable and gave us some advice about the city and a warm welcome. Communication was on point! Very reactive! The place was tidy, clean and charming. The bed was comfortable as well. To sum up, we highly recommand it! Neg: The wifi was a bit slow but usable. There was some work construction in the immovable.
Jun 27, 2019Very cozy, amazing location, totally recommended!))
Jun 27, 2019Great position of the appartment in the city!
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was cozy, clean and in a great location. We would very gladly stay here again in the future!
Jun 27, 2019Wir haben das Apartment aufgrund der vielen guten Rezensionen von Francisco gebucht - und natürlich aufgrund der hervorragenden Lage. Die Lage war wirklich super, direkt in der zentralen Einkaufsstraße (logischerweise ist es dadurch nachts und morgens relativ laut, geräuschempfindlich darf man nicht sein). Leider war die Wohnung nicht wirklich sauber, es gab Schimmel an der Decke, die Handtücher waren fleckig, der Boden fühlte sich staubig an, die Duscharmaturen waren überaus verkalkt und auch die Ecken im Bad waren nicht geputzt. Zudem stank es extrem im Hausflur - wir wissen nicht, woher dieser Geruch kam, jedoch stank es nach Fekalien. Die Begrüßung war durchwachsen, erst war die Gastgeberin etwas patzig, dann hat sie sich Mühe gegeben und uns nützliche Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt in Porto gegeben und auch einen Portwein zur Begrüßung organisiert. Die Gastgeberin war allerdings nicht die Person, auf die wir uns eingestellt hatten - wir hatten viele Monate im Voraus bei einem Francisco gebucht und kurz vor Ankunft schrieb uns eine Chris, dass sie die neue Gastgeberin ist - Francisco hatte super Airbnb-Bewertungen, Chris leider nicht - und unsere Erfahrung war wie beschrieben nicht gerade schön. Für einen Kurztrip reicht die Wohnung aus, da man den ganzen Tag unterwegs ist und sich die Stadt anschaut. Wohlfühlen kann man sich in der Wohnung unserer Meinung nach aber nicht.
Jun 27, 2019Chris was a great hostes. We arrived in Porto very early and she was able to accomodate us way earlier then the usual reception time. She welcomed us with a big smile and made us feel like at home. She also gave us some great tipps for getting around Porto. All in all, we recommend this place :)
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay! Perfect location!
Jun 27, 2019Chris es muy amable, nos dejó hacer el chekc in antes de hora así como el check out. El apartamento es muy cuco, está en el centro y la atención es maravillosa. Lo recomiendo!
Jun 27, 2019Appartement très bien placé, idéal pour un couple et un court séjour !
Jun 27, 2019Logement idéalement situé, rue animée avec magasins et bars, mais le bruit n'est pas audible une fois la fenêtre fermée. Hôte très réactif et qui "s'inquiète" du bien être de ses occupants.
Jun 27, 2019Great appartment, quiet and cozy. Great area.
Jun 27, 2019Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni z pobytu w tym apartamencie - bardzo ładnie i estetycznie urządzony, czyściutki i dobrze zlokalizowany - blisko wszystkich zabytków i atrakcji. Chris okazała się super gospodarzem - nasz lot był opóźniony i dopiero po północy dotarliśmy do apartamentu, a mimo to nie było problemów z odbiorem kluczy. Chris była z nami w ciągłym kontakcie i pomogła nam sprawnie dostać się do mieszkania. Na miejscu czekała na nas miła niespodzianka - pasteis de nata, wino i przesympatyczna kartka powitalna od Chris. Na pewno jeszcze kiedyś tu wrócimy. Dziękujemy! :)
Jun 27, 2019Everything was perfect, clean, nicely decorated and the host was always there for help and quick answers. Thanks a lot. Porto is gorgeous
Jun 27, 2019esse apartamento é extremamente bem localizado, fi a a alguns passos da estacao de metro bolhao, nem uma quadra de distancia, tudo perfeito em questão de estrutura, conforto, limpeza, queria mais uma vz agradecer a receptividade sem igual da Cris, sempre disponível p qualquer coisa, proxima vz no Porto c certeza ficarei mais uma vz nesse airbnb, gratidão!!!
Jun 27, 2019L’alloggio è situato al centro di oporto una zona molto felice dove muoversi comodamente anche a piedi ricca di bei negozi e vari locali dove poter consumare ottime colazioni ( sotto casa) e pranzi e cene con ottima scelta di menu la casa è intima calda e accogliente la consiglio veramente ottima l’accoglienza di Chris molto esauriente e affettuosa Grazie per queste bellissime giornate vi aspetto in sardegna
Jun 27, 2019Chris y Francisco fueron muy amables conmigo y con mí madre. el alojamiento está excelentemente ubicado y es muy cómodo en sus instalaciones. pasamos allí navidad y ambos anfitriones nos ayudaron en todas las dudas que teníamos. inmejorable experiencia
Jun 27, 2019房源離所有景點都很近,都在走路範圍內,離車站也只要一分鐘,房東回覆非常迅速,對於任何問題都很快速地回答,非常推薦。
Jun 27, 2019Would highly recommend this place to anyone wishing to visit Porto. The flat is ideally located on the main high street and within walking distance from many of the most popular attraction points. Furthermore, Chris was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome to the city of Porto and provided some excellent advice on things to do and places to visit!

Jun 27, 2019The location is perfect! Right in the heart of Porto happenings and you can walk to any of the major sights within minutes. We had a hard time locating the address on (Hidden by Airbnb) maps but were able to easily find it once we exited the Bolhao Metro station and walked north up Rua de Santa Catarina. Some of the reviews said the bed was uncomfortable which we found to be untrue! Be prepared for some noise on the street outside, mainly from garbage trucks and street cleaners late at night. The apartment is nicely decorated but could be better cleaned. The building is old and there is not much ventilation, especially in the bathroom. We appreciated the local tips and map we got at check in! Overall, it’s a great Airbnb in a beautiful city.
