Sara Pinto
Very bright and relaxing apartment very close to the Francos metro station - direct to the city center (8 min) or airport (20 min)! This 2 bedroom apartment accommodates up to 4 people comfortably and it's located in a calm area near Boavista. Modern and conveniently located with all the comfort for a nice stay. With free parking in garage included, fast Wifi in all areas, equipped kitchen, etc. 19579/AL
I'm Sara and I love to know about other cultures by meeting new people in my beloved city, Porto. I have been working in the tourism area for more than 14 years and been also a home host for over 7 years in other properties in Porto. I am happy to help you not only with the accommodation but also with suggestions and tips during your stay. I can speak Portuguese, English, German, French and Spanish. My husband Hugo is my co-host and we're both very happy to welcome you in this wonderful city! Direct metro from the airport to “Francos” station. From here to our apartment it's a short walk of 200 meters (2 min. walking distance). You can park your car outside, but to be safer we recommend you to use our parking space. There is no extra cost for this, as this is included in the price per night. Transfer to or from the airport (one way) is also possible on request for 30 Euros (at any time). Special offer: transfer to AND from the airport: 50 Euros. For those who come by car, here are our GPS coordinates: 41°09'54.6"N 8°38'04.4"W
This apartment is situated in a very calm area and despite the relaxing atmosphere inside the apartment you are very close to the modern city centre and the old historical town.  It's located in the modern area of Boavista. At a walking distance you can reach the famous Casa da Música (by Rem Koolhaas) and a nice shopping area or take the metro downtown.  From here you can easily reach: * supermarket at 5 min. walking distance * metro station (Francos) at 200 meters/2min. walking distance * sea/beach at 5 km away from here (ideal for swimming, lying on the sun, esplanades, surfing, walking, ...) * big shopping center (with famous and good brands) at 10 min. distance If you come by car, you easily reach the apartment as we are close to the main highway's accesses (A1, A28, A29, A4, A3, etc). You can park your car outside, but to be safer we recommend you to use our parking space. There is no extra cost for this, as this is included in the price per night. Transfer to or from the airport (one way) is also possible on request for 30 Euros (at any time). Special offer: transfer to AND from the airport: 50 Euros
