Convenient
The property is well located. Pingo Dose is a short walk for groceries. The Metro is close and there several restaurants nearby. Parking can be a bit difficult. The property is well supplied with everything you need to fix meals.

Everything was perfect! Very quiet and clean with a cozy charming garden. We were 4 adults and stayed 2 nights in Rui’s place. Comfy bed, coffee, wine fruits… thank you so much Rui! We really enjoyed our time in Porto! We’ll come back!

Great host & lovely place
A friend and I stayed for about two weeks and I’m grateful that we came across it in our search. The apartment is quaint and had everything we needed. I especially appreciated that it had some basics that allowed us to cook our own meals on occasion, loved the backyard and although it is close to downtown Porto it’s located in a quiet neighborhood. Rui is the best host we could have asked for! He was warm, welcoming, accommodating, very responsive and just super kind. Although I arrived well before check-in time, he allowed me to already leave my luggage there, and we even went to a neighborhood café having a very pleasant chat and he gave me some great recommendations. Would definitely stay there again when in Porto. Thank you Rui!

Excellent spot - super quiet
We loved staying at Rui's place. We were able to walk downtown every day and enjoy the hustle and bustle but then return to the apartment located in a very quiet neighbourhood. Being just a few minutes walk from a good sized grocery store was an extra bonus. Thanks for everything Rui!

Our place was very close to historic Porto. We could walk which was an advantage. We had a car and we were able to park very close to the suite. Lots of room- 2 bedrooms, our host welcomed us and answered all our questions. (comfy beds).

Lovely quiet retreat
Rui was a wonderful host; greeting us to orient us to everything in the flat including a few treats he provided. We enjoyed the garden for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine after a day sightseeing. It was a good walk to the main tourist area but transit is also convenient. There is a good grocery store within a short walk. The location was nice and quiet for sleeping.

House in Porto
The owner is a very nice and accommodating man. Any questions Or information required was responded to promptly. My only comment was the house is quite old and things like low water pressure and making sure all doors and windows kept shut because of cats roaming around and ready to jump in was a pain. The house is certainly livable - just expected a little more updated. Other than that it was fine.

Wonderful Holiday Stay
We had an enjoyable stay at this property. Rui is an excellent host as he provided us with some "essentials" when we first checked in (milk, oranges, wine, cheese, etc). He also brought us a lovely Christmas gift (we stayed here over the holidays) of port wine and pao de lo and even had a small Christmas tree set-up for us when we checked in. The house is as advertised. Unfortunately, we were never able to take advantage of the lovely garden in the back due to the weather.

Great Getaway Apartment
We loved the apartment. It was a perfect size and had the amenities we needed. It was a 20-25 minute walk to town and much less if we'd wanted to take the metro. We found a GREAT place for pizza 10 minutes away called Celeste. The pizza with the egg on it was fantastic!

Charming Property and Hosts
Really lovely property and the hosts were extremely accommodating. They welcomed us, gave us tickets for public transportation, showed us all the important locations on the map and made many wonderful recommendations. The amenities and thoughtful extras were beyond our expectations e.g. sun tun lotions, body creams. They went over and beyond the basic expectations. The bottle of wine and fruit were really appreciated and enjoyed. Highly recommend this property.
