The property was perfect for us with stunning views from the lounge windows over the river. The location of the property could not have been better. The owner collected us from the airport and dropped us off at the end of our stay even though we had an early flight.

Fabulous location and wonderful host
Our family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 teenagers stayed here in early July 2019. We were greeted by Fernando who welcomed us with a bottle of port, water, bread, meat and cheese - very welcome after our journey! He gave us detailed information on local shops, restaurants and sights, and all in all set the tone for a wonderful week in Porto. The apartment's location is exceptional overlooking the river within walking distance of everything. In fact it's proximity was particularly useful when our 2 teenagers emerged soaking wet from the extreme boating experience - which they absolutely loved! We had an amazing week in Porto, fabulous hosts, and would highly recommend this apartment.
