About Porto Overlooking the Douro River, Porto is one of the most ancient European cities. It was born and developed from the northern bank of this river during the Middle Ages. One of the most significant aspects of Porto and its historical centre is its landscape, combining harmony with the urban structure and presenting a frame of rare beauty. The city was classified as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1996. When discovering Porto, you will find many surprises. Besides its welcoming and historical environment, Porto is also contemporary and artistic. This is shown not only in the streets, architecture, monuments and museums but also in the terraces, restaurants, nightlife and shopping areas. We look forward to welcoming you!

We rented the apartment from October 2 to October 6 2023. The location was great - a lot of restaurants around, close distance to historic places. Our hosts, Filomena and Walter surprised us with very warm welcome, walked us through the apartment explaining everything and suggesting the places to see and restaurants to eat at. Apartment was amazing - very clean and comfortable. It was on the 3rd floor without elevator, but we have managed to walk the stairs being over 70yo. :) Thank you, Filomena and Walter for the hospitality! Luba and family.

We were visiting Porto for 3 weeks, 10 days in the city and than went out to the beach. This was the perfect location for enjoying the city. Right in the historic downtown area and near shopping, restaurants, and historic sites and parks. Great for walking and no need for a car, really don't bring a car. The apartment is beautiful and well appointed. Very sunny with lots of windows throughout and a small terrace that two people can sit on and enjoy the city view. The kitchen is compact with a small refrigerator but easy enough to prepare meals in and has good storage. The pans need some updating and knives need sharpening but the host, Filomena, would probably have replaced had we asked as she is very helpful and accommodating (more on that later). The two bedrooms downstairs are smallish and one has no closet or dresser to put clothes so be prepared to live out of suitcase. The other one has plenty of storage. We did not use the loft but it is quite roomy, but probably best for older children / teens. Filomena was great to work with before, during and after our stay. She assured me there were grocery stores that carried Gluten free items and when we arrived had a list of where they were located. The day we left she helped arrange a taxi to the airport and provided directions to the driver as we didn't speak Portuguese. From the airport you can take the metro directly (without a change of lines) to the Apt and get off at the Trinadad stop which is a 5 minute walk. You can easily walk to Gaia and the Port houses across the river or again take the metro. If you have trouble with stairs or don't want to walk up or down stairs to get to the apt than I would not recommend staying here. There are 3 flights of stairs to get up to the door of the apartment and another flight once inside (see photos). We didn't care (in our mid-60's in good shape) as it just added to our exercise and we loved being on the top floor with all the light and airy feel the apt. has. We would definitely stay here again. And highly recommend Filomina as a host.

What a wonderful place to return to after a day of sightseeing. Two comfortable bedrooms with two bathrooms and an extra loft with two single beds if needed. Host’s Filomena and Walter gave us great tips for places to see and eat. We would definitely stay here again!

The only complaint was the stairs:) and no elevator, which was a bit hard with a child. Other than that, Impeccable!

This location was ideal. We could walk to several attractions without having to take a taxi or Uber. The hosts were very attentive and welcomed us with plenty of information and a nice bottle of wine. We were 2 couples and had very separate sleeping areas which was ideal. We would certainly recommend this place.

This was one of the best places we have stayed in all our travels. Filomena and Walter met us at the property and spent time making sure we knew where everything was and how to use all the appliances. They gave us wonderful recommendations that were spot on! The space is gorgeous and open with lots of privacy and super comfortable seating and bedding. The kitchen was well stocked and the laundry was super handy. The wine was such a lovely touch!! We will absolutely come back!!
