Based on the great reviews, I booked André's place a day before my stay, as I decided to stop by Porto at the last minute. André was extremely helpful and accommodating from the beginning of our communication. When I arrived, he personally checked me in and took the time to share a plenty of useful tips for exploring the beautiful city of Porto. He's very friendly and fun to talk to as well. Located on a lively street filled with restaurants, shops, and bars, the apartment couldn't be more perfect. All the attractions and places I wanted to visit were within walking distance. I was traveling solo and felt perfectly safe walking around the neighborhood by myself, even at night. I loved coming back to the apartment at the end of a long day out. André did a great job decorating the place and making it feel cozy and homey. The living room and bedroom face one of the old churches, and you can hear the bells ringing at certain times. You can also hear a flock of birds flying and making interesting noises. It's really special. Also loved that there were balconies. I highly recommend André's fantastic apartment to anyone visiting Porto.
