An excellent choice for a single or couple visiting Porto, especially if you are coming in with a car. One of the best AirBnB's I've rented - hits the mark on all factors. The location, amenities and hosts all made our visit to Porto easy and enjoyable. Where to begin?
The location is on what I would call the edge of this part of the city center. It is distinctly positioned overlooking the river yet within easy walking distance to... well, everything. Secure and very quiet, with the convenient benefit of a parking space in the garage. The location, view and access were better than I expected.
You'll find the apartment cozy, sunny, clean and as described. Simple and small patio/deck overlooking the Douro river. Very comfortable, including the bed. Has all the essential amenities, and decent cooking facilities should you need that. Furniture inside is fairly new and comfortable. All amenities worked great, clean and fairly new, and better than I expected.
The communication from the hosts was excellent. From the point of reserving, to pre-arrival, to arrival and reception and check-out. Professional, genuine, accurate and responsive. We appreciated the flexibility, extra tips, and instructions. Better than I expected.
I guess I'm not saying anything new that other reviewers have not shared. Excellent value and contributed to our enjoyment of this beautiful, special city.
For the more adventurous, I recommend seeking the interesting staircases and paths down to the riverfront area; and having lunch at some of the low-key restaurants just down the street (practice your Portuguese).
