Visited Porto with my husband and loved every minute of our stay. The apartment is beautiful and efficient. Has everything you need to enjoy homecooked meals and to relax. The shower is powerful and has good hot water and the beds comfy. The garden area is a plus for meals outside. There is an Indian restaurant around the corner that is fantastic (a hole in the wall, and not much to look at, but delicious). We went three times during our 7 day stay! Also a fresh market across the street for bread, cheese and wine. You can walk downtown to all the sites. Didn't figure out the metro, but Uber is sooo cheap we didn't have to. Would definitely stay here again.

This was an easy accommodation to rent and most communications were answered promptly.

Clean, and comfortable apartment in Porto. Only thing that could have been better is the wood in the bathroom door was warped so it hits against the floor when you try to open it. Overall a very nice apartment in a local neighborhood. About 10min walk to get into the stuff you'll want (good coffee, etc.)

Everything about this apartment was excellent--cleanliness, location, amenities, and ease of renting and checking in.

We had a great stay at this apartment. It is very-well kept, very clean and nicely decorated. It has a washer, iron, hair dryers. The kitchen has all necessary items. The apartment is in a nice neighborhood, with a market right in front of it. I do not recommend taking a car, it is very difficult to park. I would definitely stay here again.

High end apartment in local quiet community. Host is easy to reach and very detailed offering help with local restaurants and attractions. No stone has been left unturned in apartment, amenities top notch. Highly recommended

The property is a great space and easily accommodates 4 people especially with 2 bathrooms. The apartment is in a beautiful traditional Portuguese building and has the advantage of access to a private garden which is ideal to relax and recharge after a busy day out sightseeing. Located just 100 meters from the metro station it has excellent transport links and only takes 30 mins from the airport. Takes about 10 mins to walk into the central areas of Porto. Highly recommend this apartment as a great base for a stay in Porto.

Barbara met us at the apartment and went through the house. She suggested places to eat and things to see/do. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and stylish. The location is great and easy to get anywhere. Barbara arranged for our ride to the airport. I would highly recommend and stay there again next time I am in Porto.

The place looked nice on the listing but was even better than we expected!

I highly recommend this condo Very clean, well supplied, great mattress, wonderful shower Location in not in the centre which means it is quiet There is a very efficient metro 2 minutes from the door; buy a 10 ride ticket pack if there for a few days My only suggestion for improvement is that they should release the details Re the address of the condo sooner than just 11 days before arrival so that other arrangements, tours that need an address up front for example, can be planned Thank you Barbara for renting to us !

Great experience overall

Beautifully furnished, well-equipped and with a lovely little garden and terrace - we really enjoyed staying at this apartment. Even the facade - a former bakery - is stunning. The store just opposite sells just about everything and stays open long hours while the Casa do Paraiso 2 restaurant, also opposite, was our favourite eatery during the entire week we stayed in Portugal. Delicious traditional food, informal and friendly - one tip though, try to book one of the few ground floor tables. It's an easy walk to the centre and downhill all the way while the metro station is literally just round the corner. The only very slight negative was some road noise due to the traffic lights outside if you keep the bedroom windows open. We'd certainly book this place again on a return trip to Porto.

Beautiful apartment, great outdoor space, all the bits and bobs you need. Very comfortable for 4 people (2 couples) and an easy walk into town

Mooi appartement dat goed gelegen is om de stad bezoeken. Wandelafstand, dichtbij metrohalte, goede kruidenier aan de overzijde, bankautomaat vlakbij. Nadelen: dichtbij een kruispunt met veel stilstaand verkeer (lawaai, uitlaatgassen), je hoort ook alle voetstappen van de bewoners op het bovenliggende appartement. Appartement zelf is heel mooi en aangenaam met de nodige voorzieningen. Goede bedden, wel smal voor twee personen. Super gastvrij onthaal door Marcia, die snel ingaat op bijkomende vragen of wensen! Zeker aan te raden voor een verblijf om Porto te verkennen.

Quiet, comfortable with all the mod cons. Short walk to town, near the metro, supermarket (tiny but great) over the road, great restaurant (local) opposite. Couldn't have asked for more

This cute apartment with a lovely back garden is perfect for two couples or a small family. It is nicely appointed, and we were able to explore nearly everything we wanted to see on foot! I’d definitely stay here again.

I stayed for close to two weeks in February. The apartment was large, clean, modern and comfortable. It had pretty much everything I needed, was well stocked with basics, and had quality dishware and cook ware. There's small grocery shop right across the street that was nearly always open, and several restaurants nearby. Very quiet in the evenings, but a short easy 10 minute walk to the city center. I would definitely stay again. I was just sorry it wasn't warmer while I was here so I could enjoy the nice outdoor area.

The location was perfect - steps away from the Faria Grimaraes metro station which connects to the major metro hubs in Porto yet in a quiet and peaceful area at night. The apartment was impeccably clean and well appointed with wonderful beds and linens. Barbara's assistant, Marcia was "hands on" with answers to any questions we had. Along with the well deserved accolades for this apartment, we would like to share some info for future visitors - especially from the USA. If you book your reservation for this apartment using a major US credit card, make sure your CC company does not charge for foreign transactions as you will be charged for these fees upon your booking. Although the apartment, as stated, is on the "first floor" - it is not on the ground floor. There are stairs to climb. The building has beautiful wood planked floors throughout including the apartment we stayed in. You will hear your neighbor upstairs on their wood planked floors. If you plan to "eat in" - keep in mind the kitchen has a "cook-top" - no oven. Only a microwave. We love Porto and the Portuguese people! We will definitely return to this wonderful country. Thank you, Barbara and Marcia - for making our visit memorable.

Loved the outdoor deck. Great amenities we used the washers to do some wash. Air conditioning in each room. Kitchen had great equipment. Close to the metro but only a 20 minutes walk downhill to the downtown area of Porto. Can’t recommend this place enough
