Reviewer: Bence
Comments: We were really happy with the place. It was close to everything but still separated so we could have our own place. The terrace is huge and sunny. I would recommend the place to everyone!

Reviewer: Thomas
Comments: Logement conforme a nos attentes , le séjour s est relativement bien passé , 2/3 petite chose sont a améliorer comme mettre a disposition un ballet , une serpillère ou bien même un parasol pour la terrasse extérieur qui est génial mais en heure de chaleur on ne peut pas en profiter sans parasol ... Une bouteille de vin nous attendait a notre arrivé , ça nous fait très plaisir en arrivant après le voyage ... Sinon que dire d autre parfois quelques odeurs de canalisation d égout , c pas très agréable mais ça dure pas longtemps généralement , sur ce les chambres étais vraiment bien , très confortable et avec clim ... La cuisine est fonctionnelle et il ne manque rien ... Le salon est agréable également , le logement a donc contribué a notre très bon séjour a porto ...

Reviewer: Laura
Comments: La casa es preciosa, pequeña, pero bien equipado; cuenta con una gran terraza y está en una zona tranquila. Justo al lado hay una estación de tren, desde la casa se oyen los trenes, pero no molestan demasiado a la hora de dormir. Aunque la casa contaba con garaje privado, tuvimos problemas para dejar el coche en él, por lo que el dueño acordó pagar el gasto en wl párking de la estación de tren cercana (3'50€ al día). Nos dejaron una botella de agua y otra de vino como obsequio de bienvenida. Si quieres conocer Oporto y alojarte en una zona tranquila y cercana, es una buena opción

Reviewer: Maria Jose
Comments: La descripcion de la casa es perfecta. Muy buena situacion y zona muy tranqyila. Al lado de la casa esta el tren y un parking muy economico. El tranvia pasa a 1 minuto caminando. Como megativo decir que el baño de la habitacion tienen que arreglar el tema del olor, hay que cerrarlo que no se soporta. Deberia de tener una escoba y recogedor. Por el resto todo genial.

Reviewer: Yvan
Comments: I think Jose does not exist, the guy who came did not know the place at all. The place was clean and just renovated. The neighbourhood doesn't feel really safe but we did not have any problem at all.

Reviewer: Anna

Reviewer: Vlad
Comments: The place deserves 6 stars ! We had the entire house and it has excellent. The location is 1 min away from the metro station, 10 minutes away from the river side, prefect location. The apartment had everything: a big terrace, clean bathrooms, beautiful rooms and you could find all that you need there: hair dryer, iron, sandwich maker, toaster, everything. We did not meet the host is person, we communicated by e-mail and what's up, his response was in minutes, he even gave us tips and tricks regarding Porto. I definitely recommend the place .

Reviewer: Dany
Comments: A casa tem um espaço muito bom. Comporta 6 pessoas de maneira excelente. Como pontos positivos posso citar a localização, a cozinha bem equipada e com coisas novas, camas e travesseiros de boa qualidade. Como ponto negativo principal foi o mau cheiro do banheiro do quarto, muito forte. Outro ponto é a questão do estacionamento, que entendi quando aluguei que era do imóvel, mas, no entanto, é em um estacionamento privativo próximo. Quando cheguei ao local, o responsável pela casa que me recebeu informou que voltaria no penúltimo dia para reembolsar o valor gasto com o estacionamento, mas não foi o que aconteceu. Quando liguei me passaram que deveria encaminhar por email os comprovantes de pagamento, e assim seria feito o reembolso. Não tenho como afirmar se funcionou ou não, pois até o momento ainda não obtivemos respostas sobre o assunto. Tirando esses pequenos percalços, tudo foi excelente. Voltaria com certeza para a casa em questão.

Comments: The White Dove is a beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood. José wasn't there to show us around, but he gave us the information we needed by phone and there was someone else to show us around. The beds were very comfortable and the terras in the sun is lovely. We enjoyed our stay in Porto very much.

Reviewer: Winny
Comments: It took more than 24 hours for The Port Concierge to reply us the day before check-in due to change in itinerary. We called, texted, messaged numerous times and couldn't contact them until 10am that day. That was a bit disappointing. Other than that the house was great, comfortable bed and soundproof environment. The kitchen doesn't have all the essentials such as oil, only salt. The free wine and water was a nice touch, but still having all the necessary amenities for cooking away from home was more important. Overall a good stay.

Reviewer: Tatiana
Comments: A casa é ótima, bem equipada com quartos confortáveis e limpos. Próximo ao metro e com um curta caminhada chega-se facilmente a Ribeira. Adoramos!!! José é um excelente amfitrião.

Reviewer: Ricardo
Comments: La casa está bien equipada y es funcional. En la cocina hay una cafetera de cápsulas Delta por lo que si no llevas de casa a lo mejor te quedas sin desayunar ya que solo había 2. En el pasillo hay sensores de movimiento así que por la noche no puedes moverte sin que se encienda la luz y por el día también se enciende así que no creo que ahorre mucho. La terraza es agradable para comer si hace buen tiempo. La situación está bien aunque no está en el Centro de Oporto. En 5-10 minutos paseando llegas a la Ribera del Duero (lado de Gaia) y está a 20 metros de la estación de Metro General Torres que te lleva hasta el centro en 10 minutos. Difícil aparcar por la zona porque es zona de estacionamiento regulado 24h, en la estación de metro hay un párking en el que puedes dejar el coche 24h por 5€. El anfitrión fue correcto y nos permitió salir un poquito más tarde

Reviewer: Camille
Comments: La maison et la terrasse étaient exactement comme sur les photos, les lieux étaient propres et la cuisine était parfaitement équipée ! Je recommande vivement ce logement pour vos séjours à Porto

Reviewer: Richard
Comments: Modern villa with all facilities required for a comfortable family stay - in good location to walk to riverside cafe's, restaurants and attractions, or take tram to City Centre. Cost effective car park and tram station literally next door. Only slight negative is the neighbour has two dogs that are put out every the night that bark at anything that moves!
-
Reviewer: Véronique
Comments: Un logement confortable et bien équipé à proximité du métro et du quartier Gaia. Nous avons apprécié les lits confortables pour se reposer de nos journées de vadrouille dans les rues en pente de Porto. Seul point négatif, la rue est très passante.
-
Reviewer: Agnieszka
Comments: Przestronny dom z trzema sypialniami, bardzo blisko centrum. Bardzo dobra komunikacja. Dużo miejsca przy domu do wypoczynku. Minusem jest hałaśliwy pies sąsiada, często nie pozwalający spać w nocy oraz mała ilość szaf w mieszkaniu.

Reviewer: Leif
Comments: The app is a splendid stay for exploring Porto and the right portwine side of the city. The app was as desribed and nice and clean. Only minor was the dog next door, that opviously still is alive, barking most of the day. The house has allthough a good isolation of noise from dogs and the street trafic.

Reviewer: Hannah
Comments: Jose's home is located in close proximity to all the main Porto sites making it an ideal place to stay when visiting Porto. My family and I had a very pleasant stay at White Dove. The apartment is spacious and is equipped with everything you may need for a short stay. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the terrace enjoying the sunshine!

Reviewer: Julian
Comments: La casa es tal cual en las fotografías. Hay tres habitaciones y las tres con aire acondicionado. por la noche nos fue de gran ayuda aunque la ciudad no es demasiado calurosa por la noche pero nosotros los usamos. De la casa a los puntos más turísticos de la ciudad como el Puente de Luis I hay 5 minutos andando. Merece la pena estar en Vila Nova de Gaia por que así estás cerca pero no en el epicentro. Hay super cerca . super recomendable
-
Reviewer: Ilaria
Comments: La casa è pulita, grande e accogliente. La posizione accanto alla metro perfetta. Si arriva a Porto centro in 5 minuti. Per la macchina c'è un posteggio coperto a pagamento accanto all'appartamento che costa al giorno 5 euro. La terrazza è bella grande con tavolo e sedie e un salottino da esterno come si vede dalle foto. Per la mia famiglia è stata un'ottima scelta!

Reviewer: Susana
Comments: Hemos estado cuatro días en Octubre. La situación es perfecta para visitar Oporto ya que puedes ir andando al centro y al mismo tiempo está lejos del bullicio. Hay supermercados cerca y aunque el tren pasa cerca, no se oye. La casa está muy bien, espaciosa, todo nuevo, las habitaciones grandes,..., una terraza grande y bonita, genial para pasar unas vacaciones. Por poner una pega, no hay muchos utensilios en la cocina, no había fregona, bayeta,..., para limpiar. Por las noches se oye ladrar a unos perros que molesta bastante. Pero, a parte de esas pequeñas pegas, todo lo demás genial. La casa es igual que las fotos. Gracias por todo, Jose. Susana

Reviewer: Sjoerd
Comments: It's a beautiful place which is nicely located next to a metro station, which takes you to the city centre in just a couple of minutes. It was tidy, and a concierge left us a nice bottle of wine. Biggest 'problems' were a couple of dogs barking outside, and some rooms were a bit moist. All in all a great stay!

Reviewer: Javi
Comments: Estuvimos 4 amigos y fue todo genial!!! El apartamento genial. Las camas eran comodísimas y Jose fue super amable. Todo perfecto. El único pero la ubicación. Estaba lejos del centro y en cuesta pero fue lo de menos. Volveremos seguro!

Reviewer: Alexis
Comments: Very great house. Well located near Porto center (10-15 minutes walk). Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour à Porto. Nous avons voyagé avec 2 jeunes enfant (4 mois et 2 ans). La maison était très bien adaptée pour nous. Bien situé. José était facile à joindre. Alexis

Reviewer: Nigel
Comments: Great Location. Next door to General Torres railway station and a bus stop. 100 metres from General Torres metro station. 10 minutes walk from Ponte Luis 1 bridge over the Duoro. Nice big terrace to enjoy a glass of wine.

Reviewer: Anne
Comments: Maison bien placée pour visiter Porto et ses environs. A 2 pas des transports en commun (metro, bus, train), mais le centre est parfaitement accessible à pied. Supermarché et petits commerces à proximité La communication avec José était bonne et l’accueil tard dans la soirée a été parfait Deux désagréments à signaler : - le froid: la maison est conçue pour des séjours en été, mais pas pour des températures automnales, en dessous de 15°C - une très désagréable odeur de fosse septique a rendu une des salles de bain impraticable
