This is the best property in Porto for any couple looking for a romantic weekend at an affordable price. Centrally located in the heart of Porto, you are within walking distance to all the top sights, and are surrounded by local cafes, restaurants, and stores. Access to public transportation is not a problem because they (bus station, trolley, tuk tuk, Uber or Bolt pick up site) too are only a short stroll away from the property. As for the interior of the apartment, it has just the right amount of amenities for a comfortable stay (i.e., fridge, Air Conditioning, Washer, and stove/microwave) while not compromising on style. The owners did a great job on the decorations. The small patio gives a great view of activity on the street below, and is a great place for a morning coffee or evening beverage to close out the day while listening to the ambient sounds of the city.
Valentim, one of Joana‘s hosts, greeted us within 20mins of notification during check-in. He spoke English very well and was knowledgeable of the top restaurants and stores in the area. Following Valentim‘s advice, we were able to find hidden gems within the town, while not being tied to a specific tour or agenda. The local food favorites were delicious and served by the friendliest staff.
My wife and I truly enjoyed our long weekend in Porto, thanks to Joana and Valentim. We give this property our highest recommendation, and we are looking forward to our future return to Porto.
