Exactly like the pictures :)! Absolutely loved this apartment.

We are first time users of airbnb + being in another country not knowing the language we felt very comfortable and safe staying here.

We Arrived earlier than anticipated to Porto and were able to communicate with Marco immediately to drop off our backpacks til the apartment was ready for us. The space is close to everything. We walked EVERYWHERE. It is about 5 minutes to the Sao Bento station. The apartment is beautiful, extremely clean and has an excellent radiator for the cool nights. Very luxurious and incredible lighting / Cute balcony. It Had a lovely scent inside which we looked forward to whenever we stepped out. There is a ton of maps provided, which we didn't use because of the proximity of the landmarks being so close. Getting "lost" was fun, we always wound up back home seeing a new sight from a different direction.

For food - There's a supermarket around the corner. On the same street walking down there is an AMAZING barbecue chicken restaurant called Churrasqueria Moura. - All the locals go here. Right in front of the apartment there is a small cafe shop called Pontual which is open late - this is where we accidentally got drunk :) because of such great conversations with the warm hearted and welcoming workers.

We needed a few extra minutes to recover from our hangover and were able to check out a little later. Staying here made it easy to explore Porto. Our only regret is not staying longer !! You must stay here !

Carla thank you for receiving us & if we were a bit awkward, sorry ! We usually stay in hotels because of "safety" and stepping out of our comfort zone was well worth it. Looking forward to returning :)
