    The apartment was everything we'd hoped for. The host was ever so helpful and pleasant. The view from the apartment was, 'Wow'.Looking forward to going back to Porto, someday but it has to be the same apartment. What a city!

    Host was very easy to get hold of. The apartment was well-stocked, very clean, and comfortable. True to the photographs. Great location in the old part of Porto.
  • Sandra

    It was easy to access the apartment with a key safe. The location was good but it is on steep bit of hill for those with any walking difficulties. Local area great for restaurants.
