Porto is hands down one of my favorite cities in all of Europe and what you want in a bnb in a city like Porto is an amazing location that puts you right in the heart of all the good things it has to offer. You couldn’t ask to be positioned better to see Porto. The house is surrounded by amazing restaurants less than 500 feet away (loved Orpheu and Restaurante Casario; definitely try the former for brunch and make a dinner reservation for the latter), and is so close to the water that we would just walk back for bathroom breaks and to make coffee or grab a bottle of wine if we were hanging out on the river bank. Another must-try is the Pastéis de Nata (with extra cinnamon on top) at Manteigaria which is 10 minutes walk from the house.
The house itself is a very comfortable studio, high water pressure, high speed internet, and nespresso at the ready with plenty of kitchen ware if you were to need it but we ate out for all of our meals which is hard not to do there. We kept the windows open all night for air circulation. If you’re a light sleeper then bring ear plugs because it is a city street.
The check in was the easiest thing in the world, the apartment was incredibly easy to find and a 5 minute walk from São Bento station, and Licinio was very quick to respond to questions on WhatsApp. Would recommend to anyone who wants a real Porto experience.
