Ana’s apartment and Ana as a host has set a new standard for AirBnB reviews for me! I visited Porto for four nights on my own and I enjoyed such a comfortable stay at her apartment I’m already thinking of excuses to go back. The building is simply beautiful (she has restored the entire thing) and the apartment could easily compare to a stay in a luxury hotel room - and to be honest I’d rather stay here than most hotels! The little things are all provided, like the soft new towels and toiletries and the quality of everything was such a pleasant surprise for me. The shower was one of the best and generally everything is to such a high standard in the kitchen and bathroom. I didn’t miss anything during my stay.

I found the location of the building quite perfect for me, in a residential area that is more authentically Porto, and the location of the Lidl is perfect too just around the corner. It is only 10-15 minutes walking to the river area and quite a pleasant walk you can vary your route each time. The connections to the rest of Porto are very easy via the metro (the whole city of Porto is extremely easy to navigate and travel around) and the apartment felt secure and homely when you returned to it each night.

Ana was a lovely host - she’d been kind enough to research how I might get to some of the places I would be interested in during my stay as several were outside the city. She was very approachable and I feel I could have happily contacted her if I had any problem during my stay. I feel very lucky to have chosen to stay here and would definitely recommend it and return if I ever have reason to revisit Porto.
