One of the things I love most about Porto, is the people. And Renato is a perfect example. He was incredibly kind, available for any questions, made sure that I was ok, and provided a LOT of recommendations.
While the apartment can use a bit of a refresh (bathroom tiles), and a paint touchup, it’s incredibly spacious, the garden is really lovely, and the kitchen had everything. It felt like a real home! As a solo traveler, I felt really safe and knowing that Renato and his family were just upstairs, I was comfortable.
There was some noise from the kids, but all within reasonable hours. Although the apartment is located on one of Porto’s main pedestrian streets, it is incredibly quiet at night and really peaceful. So you have the amazing location as well as peace and quiet.
