I spent a month in this comfortable apartment - from mid April to mid May, 2022. I enjoyed all of my communications with Barbara, a warm and friendly host who always replied to my questions promptly. And I can't think of a better location for getting to know Porto than this apartment. Not only is Casa do Patio in the heart of historic Porto and walk to everything, it is part of the life of Rua Cedofeita, a pedestrian-only street filled with shops and Triperiros (Porto residents) going about their daily lives. While the street is bustling, the apartment itself is located in the back and is very quiet. If I could give the location 10 stars I would. The apartment is safe, peaceful, full of natural light, and perfect for one or two people. I enjoyed sitting on the small patio in the evenings. The kitchen had everything I needed to make small meals of oatmeal, eggs, toast, yogurt with fruit and so forth, but having just a 2-burner hot plate, no stove or oven, and a small sink, it would be challenging if you expect to cook a lot. That was not an issue for me. In fact, the only caution I would mention concerns the size of the shower. With glass walls on two sides, it has plentiful hot water but is quite small in size. Bending down to pick up a dropped bar of soap, for example, was difficult. I am 5 foot 8 inches tall and weigh 170 pounds and I think if you are larger than me it will not work for you. In the end I was able to manage and would not let the shower in any way discourage me from returning to Caso do Patio. I loved every moment in this sweet place. Book it!
