Ani was a very welcoming host and provided good information of the area. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The street is under a revitalization but there was no noise of note. Close to many sites.
We had a wonderful stay at the Insight Apartment.Ani was a fantastic host who welcomed us to Portugal with Port wine and fresh pastel de nata, which was such a thoughtful touch.The apartment was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. Its central location made it incredibly easy to explore Porto, and we would happily stay here again.
Lovely place to stay in the heart of Porto! Our host was so kind and the apartment was ideal for we three travelers. Communication with the host was excellent, beds were very comfy, and Ani was especially gracious when we had a mishap! Highly recommended!
We had a great stay. We loved the location and all the recommendations provided by the host. It was a great setup and extremely clean. Would definitely go back.
My sister and I loved our stay at Ani’s and our time exploring Porto. Ani was an incredibly attentive and thoughtful host. The apartment was lovely, comfortable and a great location for amenities and exploring Porto on foot. Can highly recommend Ani and her lovely home.

Excellent apartment very well appointed facilities & wonderful location for seeing the city. Friendly & helpful and welcoming host.
We stayed at this apartment for two nights, and it was perfect. Easily walkable to all of the things in Cascais but also a quiet neighborhood. We highly recommend this apartment.
Loved staying at Porto Insight apartment, the location was very new Sao Bento metro and bus stations with lots of restaurants nearby. Also close to the Cathedral which is a must see. Ani our host have lots of recommendations on what to see and where to eat. Loved it!
We absolutely loved our stay in Porto! The apartment was very clean and modern and is one of my favorite apartments I have stayed in while travelling. Not only was the place nice, but the location was absolutely perfect. There's a wine bar and amazing restaurant right across the street and all of the major sites and attractions are within walking distance. Highly recommend this place to stay!
We all enjoyed our stay in Porto and the Bainharia apartment was the perfect location including a delightful wine bar directly opposite the front door!
This apartment was in an ideal location. An easy walk everywhere, comfortable beds, and port wine and snacks provided by the host. Good communication during our stay and good tips for sight seeing and restaurants from the host. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that the sink connection in the kitchen was broken and there was a sewage smell in the kitchen until it was fixed. But this stuff happens, and I would recommend this apartment for your Porto trip!
Ani was great and easy to communicate with. The unit is well located, bright and airy. If you have issues with stairs, probably not a good choice. We loved the wine bar across the street!
This Apartment in Porto was absolutely perfect! Firstly, the host is fantastic, great communication, lots of helpful information & super friendly. The location is awesome, you’re right in the middle of the historic district but on a quiet street. The apartment is a combination of modern comfort and historic charm. It feels like a stylish hotel with everything you’d need from a home. The perfect home base for your stay in Porto - and Ani is a
We had a wonderful time with our friends, thank you for being a great host and giving us all of your recommendations Ani, it was so much fun to re-discover Porto.
This is a great location and wonderful apartment, easy walk to all of Old Porto, so many restaurants and stores, we felt safe and loved the area.
Our host , Ani, is very attentive to the details in the Apartment that make a visitor very comfortable. The location of the Apartment is fantastic and any questions we had were answered very promptly. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent in Porto.
Our host, Ani, was the best. She met us at the apartment and explained every detail of the apartment and gave us great advice on where to go and what to see during our stay. She stayed in contact with us during the week to assure all was going well on our trip. The apartment was also perfect. It was very clean and well stocked. The location was great. We could walk to all the sights and restaurants. Definitely recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Porto.
Lovely property in great location within walking distance of Duoro River and other sites of interest. Good restaurants within walking distance. Ani is a great host who went out of her way to book appointments for us before our arrival.
Our stay in the apartment was very pleasant and we had a very good time. Located in the city centre, all the sights are in walking distance and in the evenings there is a great choice of nearby restaurants and bars. The apartment is very clean and nicely furnished. The hostess Ani is very friendly and accommodating.
The apartment was wonderful - very modern and spacious. Ani welcomed us and shared the details of the apartment when we arrived. It was very central to the sites and restaurants of Porto. It is located in a significant hill and up two flights of stairs (no elevator) so it would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it.
My husband , grown daughter and I spent 3 days at this wonderful flat with easy access to everything in Porto. The accommodations were in great shape and comfortable . We were able to cook some breakfasts - are out for dinner— and loved walking through Porto, a lively city steeped in charm. I would definitely recommend
