  • Reviewer: Amaya

    Comments: The location of the appartment it's fantastic, just less than 5 minutes from the metro and about 20 walking to the centre. The appartment it's very comfortable, it was very clean and good equipped. Vasco was really nice and recommended us places to visit and restaurants. I really recommend

  • Reviewer: Bruno

    Comments: Le logement est très bien, propre et confortable. La proximité du métro est vraiment appréciable.

  • Reviewer: Marco

    Comments: L'alloggio è delle dimensioni ottimali per due persone (stanza da letto molto comoda, soggiorno con balcone, bagno e piccola cucina) e si trova a pochi metri dalla Casa della Musica e dalla fermata della metropolitana che collega facilmente all'aeroporto di Porto. E' presente l'ascensore. Inoltre è possibile raggiungere il centro città in circa 20 minuti (più facile all'andata che al ritorno). L'alloggio è molto pulito e ordinato e Vasco è molto gentile e cordiale. L'unico neo, l'alloggio è un po' rumoroso (tranne che nelle ore più notturne) perché è situato sopra una rotonda molto trafficata. Consiglio tappi per le orecchie.

  • Reviewer: Dominik

    Comments: We had a very pleasant stay at Vasco's appartment. Unfortunately we didn't meet Vasco (it was our fault because we arrived much,much later than planned), but the check-in was no problem at all. Vasco was available for questions immediately. He was very helpful and understanding. We'd stay there any time again!

  • Reviewer: Jana

    Comments: I definitely recoomend this appartment to you and would love to come back. Vasco is very nice and the communication with him was very easy. The best thing was that he gave us lots of reccomendations to do and wehre to eat in Porto. We tried some of them and they were amazing. The location of the appartment is very good, since a metro is very close. Moreover, everything was very clean and we loved the small balcony for a breakfast or glass of wine :) Perfect stay for a couple of days in Porto!

  • Reviewer: Ridha

    Comments: L'emplacement est central, sur un rond point très animé, donc forcément bruité. Vasco est très gentil et serviable. L'appartement est petit mais agréable, avec l'essentiel des commodités avec une bonne propreté. Recommandable pour quelqu'un seul ou un couple.

    Comments: Awesome apartment for an awesome price. Porto is a great city.

  • Reviewer: Luis

    Comments: What it says on the advert, basically. Great central place, right on the Boavista roundabout. A little noisy during the day, but that's to be expected. Clean and functional. Vasco communicates really quick and easy.

Vasco fue un gran anfitrión contesto a todo muy rápido y con bastante información a todas las preguntas ,lastima no haberle podido conocer porque estaba trabajando.

  • Reviewer: Luciana

    Comments: Otimo lugar, aconchegante e bem localizado.

  • Reviewer: Essen

    Comments: Great place

  • Reviewer: Felipe

    Comments: El piso generalmente está bien. Esta cerca del metro y cerca del centro.Por otra parte es una casa muy fría y que para calentarla dejan un calefactor pequeño para toda la casa y por tanto no se calienta nunca. Las ventanas son de mala calidad y al estar en una rotonda con mucho trafico escuchas el ruido de los coches continuamente. La entrada al apartamento ponía en el anuncio que era a las 15. En ningún momento pudimos ver al propietario y nos comunicamos a través del chat. Nos dice que se va a retrasar la limpieza por lo que nos manda a las 16 al piso. Baja la chica de la limpieza y nos dice que hasta las 16:30 no la tiene acabada. Mala comunicación entre los dos. Al dueño le decimos que nos deje el apartamento 1h30 min más el último día y el propietario no nos dio ninguna solución alternativa ( no cobrar la limpieza, salir más tarde, o un dto para la próxima visita). Resumen: piso bonito pero muy frío, propietario ausente experiencia mediocre. No repetiremos.

  • Reviewer: Mauri

    Comments: Todo perfecto. El alojamiento estuvo muy bien y la ubicación es inmejorable. Muy cómodo y siempre atento. Quizás hizo falta la TV y un poco más de calefacción para los días de lluvia, pero la ciudad también tiene atracciones en lugares cerrados. Recomendado!

  • Reviewer: Taras

    Comments: Everything was cool,easy to communicate and very cosy apartment.

  • Reviewer: Jaclyn

    Comments: Ok location... It's actually a 30-35 minute walk downtown but still not too bad. About €6 taxi from downtown back to the apartment which was fine. The place was spotless, pretty and had a nice little patio. Bring earplugs.

  • Reviewer: Lito

    Comments: Vasco’s place is everythibg what it says. Its near metro station and a very good places to eat. Communication with Vasco is very easy and he replies very quickly! His tips are very thorough and the restaurants he reco although i only tried a couple where all good specially Café Santiago for the Francesinha. I really like his place and wounds definitely come back!

    Comments: We walked to everything from Vasco’s and the place was great! We had a blast in Porto

  • Reviewer: Cláudia

    Comments: Casa limpa, arrumada e muito bem localizada. Na rotunda da Boavista não podia ter sido melhor. Não é uma casa muito grande mas para 2 pax é o suficiente. Casa de banho em excelentes condições, cozinha não muito grande mas com tudo aquilo que precisamos para cozinhar. 5 estrelas

    Comments: Me lo he pasado muy bien en oporto durante la estancia en el piso de Vasco, la unica queja que he podido tener es porque la television no funciona, ya que despues de todo el dia pateando oporto llegar a casa a relajarte y que no funcione la tele no gusta. Aparte eso el piso muy limpio, nuevo y no le falta detalle

  • Reviewer: Kalina

    Comments: Vasco’s place is cozy and clean, offers everything you need for a vacation ( equipped kitchen, big bathroom, small balcony). It is close to a metro station and easy to get to the center, either by foot or metro. I recommend it.

  • Reviewer: Lois

    Comments: We enjoyed a pleasant stay in Vasco's apartment. It is close the the university which is exactly what we wanted. There are some very nice restaurants nearby and also good shopping. I thoroughly recommend it.

  • Reviewer: Maciej

    Comments: Very good offer! We really liked the location of the studio, which is within a walking distance from the historic center of Porto. Nearby you can find supermarkets and metro/bus stations (if you need to get somewhere further). Vasco was a very good host and he was responding to our messages very quickly, giving us hints on the surrounding area. Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Liam

    Comments: Vasco apartment is the perfect lil place for a get away in Porto. It was in a perfect location only being a 10 minute walk for the attractions and located right next to a beautiful park. Vasco answered and questions we had quickly and gave us loads of suggestions for things to see and places to eat.

  • Reviewer: Marta

    Comments: The apartment is lovely and well decorated. It is about 5 minutes walking from a metro station. It was very clean however facing a very noisy street. We were unlucky to have neighbours throw a party during the week. Definitely bring earplugs unless noise doesn't bother you.

  • Reviewer: Nacho

    Comments: Todo muy bien, la casa bonita con una cama muy cómoda, cerca del metro y paradas de autobús.

  • Reviewer: Dan

    Comments: Great location for exploring, nice stylish apartment, great shower, comfortable bed, and the kitchen was fine for cooking. We had a great stay. Our only small complaint was the busy road was loud at night , but we still slept okay. Would recommend.

  • Reviewer: Eliza

    Comments: I have not got much to add to what had been already said. Maybe worth mentioning how clean the place is and that there are some small but useful touches: shampoo, conditioner, washing liquid and even washing machine. We only stayed for one night, but with the equipment in the flat you could easily enjoy a month. We came equipped with the ear plugs so the noise from the street did not bother us. Great coffee and cheap eats at the downstairs cafe and only a short walk to the metro stations.

  • Reviewer: Jor

    Comments: Es war eine sehr saubere und tolle Wohnung mit vielen tollen Details... von der Wohnung erreicht man super die Innenstadt! Bitte unbedingt Oropax beim Schlafen nutzen. Die Straße ist sonst etwas zu laut.

  • Reviewer: Christine

    Comments: This apartment is in a great location a bit away from the historical centre but easy walking distance. There is a metro station nearby for easy access from the airport and into the centre. Everything you could need is there and the apartment was very clean. We recommend a visit to the restaurant in the Casa di Musica where we were lucky to attend a dinner with Fado.

  • Reviewer: Xin Liang
