Nice stay
We were glad we chose this apartment because of the great location. It was convenient to restaurants, shopping and transportation. The gentleman who met us at the apartment gave great recommendations. He helped kick off a lovely stay in Porto.

Central Apartment in Porto
We have just returned from a month in this apartment. We loved it because it was the perfect base for getting to know Porto - a few minutes from the Cathedral, Dom Luis Bridge and many other Porto attractions. Our host was very helpful and offered lots of useful information. Totally satisfied with everything and hope to be back there in the future!

Great location in old town Porto
Joao was very accommodating and met us to help us settle in and also gave us many tips about things to do and restaurants/grocery stores in the area. The unit is not large but had everything we needed. We are mid-70's and quite mobile but be aware that there is a flight of stairs to get to the apartment---if this is not an issue, you will find Joao's place excellent in every way. So close to Sao Bento train station, many restaurants, pick up for various tours and the heart of Old Town Porto.

Everything that we needed was there!
Centrally located, good restaurants nearby, lots of sightseeing available. A highlight was touring two wineries and a boat trip down the Douro River.

Location, Location!
Joao was very welcoming, and replied to our texts quickly. The location was very convenient, he showed us shortcuts on city maps. The town has a lot of circular hilly streets, so it was great to receive directional orientation. Our stay was comfortable and homey.

Superb appartment right in the centre
We arrived late on Saturday night,which was not a problem for the owner Joao.(other places charge a late fee). Joao is very helpful, proud of his city and happy to provide lots of tourist information, despite the lateness of the hour. The apt is great for two people,and fully equipped,spotlessly clean. The bed is very comfortable with a firm mattress and the bedroom/bathroom linen is very good quality. The bathroom is a good size and all amenities in perfect order. The sitting room is not huge but comfortable, the TV does not have English channels but you will be so busy exploring the city you wont need them:) We did not cook(why would you, with fab restos everywhere) but if that's what you prefer it had everything needed to create a meal,and there is a good supermarket in the shopping centre "Via Catarina" in avenue Sainte Catherine about 6 mins walk.There are also two local shops just down the same street for essentials water/milk etc Transport from the airport via metro is stress free and Sao Bento metro stop is 3 mins walk if you come out the right exit which we didn't,so there are 2 exits when you come up the escalator don't take the one straight in front of you as its further away,still on the same street but more of a walk uphill to the apt. Now some touristy info: 1- we didn't bother with the 3 day Andante card as everywhere is within walking distance,we just paid the card fare to the airport 2euro each way PP. 2- The Pont Luiz bridge is 4 minutes walk away. 3- Tram 22 2 mins walk just up the street and around the corner. 4- My favourite bit, restaurants - we were to have dinner for 3 nights, we booked Tapabento for the first night which is amazing and should be higher on the list on tripadvisor,you will need to book at least two weeks in advance or maybe more in July /Aug. On our last night we had booked Muu steakhouse which was also brilliant ,a bit more expensive but if you like steaks you are spoilt if not there are only 2 other main courses. This is number 1 on trip but to be honest I would rate it on a par with Tabento. Our middle night we had nothing booked as we went out to the coast and had planned on eating there but it had got chilly to keep strolling so we got the bus back to Ribera, we chose one of the ones on the river front called Avo Maria this was only ok. 5- if needed there are luggage lockers in SBento train station just opp metro. 6-boarding cards can be printed off top floor of scentre above WE WILL BE BACK

Rue Carivo, Porto
Pas de climatisation, vieux et humide. Aucun ingrédient de base pour cuisiner. Chaises inconfortables pour la salle à manger. Bonne situation dans centre mais quartiers très ordinaire.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 23, 2023
Está no anúncio que o apartamento não tem ar condicionado, como vos disse, e a temperatura exterior era de apenas 22 graus. Possui 2 ventiladores portáteis. Quanto a ser velho e húmido, o apartamento foi totalmente reformado no ano passado. Basta ver pelos comentários que você é o único cliente insatisfeito. Quanto aos ingredientes para cozinhar, outra mentira, já que na chegada está disponível uma cesta básica com doses individualizadas, como eu entreguei a você na chegada.

Emplacement idéal pour visiter Porto
Idéalement situé pour visiter la ville de Porto à pied, l'appartement est tout à fait conforme aux photos. Refait à neuf dans un quartier très authentique, dans une rue calme, rien ne manque et convient tout à fait pour 4 personnes. Joao Carlos est très sympathique et très réactif. Il nous a transmis de bons conseils sur Porto, Nous recommandons cette adresse.

Très bien
Joao Carlos est quelqu'un de très sympathique ! Il répond rapidement à vos questions et est disponible pour toutes explications. Il nous a très bien reçu et il y avait même des cartes de Porto dans l'appartement. La cuisine est très fonctionnelle, l'appartement en général est petit mais idéal pour une famille de 4, la banquette clic clac est très confortable. L'appartement est super bien situé, puisque nous avons tout pu faire à pied dans le centre de chez lui. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter.
