  • Reviewer: Octavio Y Cris

    Comments: Hemos estado pasando unos días en la casa de Henrique&Isabel y sin duda es una experiencia que recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera visitar Oporto. La vivienda es amplia y muy bien situada, con todos los servicios que puedas necesitar a muy poca distancia (supermercado, panadería, parking...) está en una zona cercana al centro pero que goza de tranquilidad. Y destacar sobre todo la amabilidad de Henrique y su disponibilidad. Todas las sugerencias que nos realizó nos fueron muy útiles para descubrir Oporto. Sin duda repetiríamos!! Obrigado Henrique

  • Reviewer: Eléa

    Comments: Exceptional space, large and with all the amenities, minutes from the center in a neighborhood whose restaurants and bars are cheaper and more interesting, we really enjoyed our time here! Henrique (who was super friendly and made check-in and -out a breeze) was waiting for us when we arrived and gave us an overview of the place and Porto and some nice food recommendations. Highly recommended.

  • Reviewer: Franck

    Comments: Immeuble magnifique dans un quartier en pleine évolution. Henrique est le sourire du Portugal !!!

  • Reviewer: Lea

    Comments: Thank you very much to Henrique for his warm welcome. The place is really great and so comfy. We spent a lovely week-end there, thanks again xox

  • Reviewer: Maria Stella

    Comments: Henrique & Isabel han sido anfitriones inmejorables, atentos, profesionales y amables. La casa es estupenda aún mejor que en las fotos. Céntrica y a la vez muy silenciosa. Mi instancia en Oporto ha sido maravillosa también gracias a ellos y a la casa. Espero de volver en un futuro muy próximo. La recomiendo de verdad

  • Reviewer: Judith

    Comments: The flat is stylish and very comfortable and equipped with the things you need for a successful holiday. It is very centrally situated in a lively and interesting street Henrique is charming and has good restaurant recommendations and was available if we needed him. Highly recommended.

  • Reviewer: Salma

    Comments: This place was clean, stylish, and well located. Our host, Henrique, was kind, knowledgeable and attentive. I would highly recommend this airbnb. It was an absolute pleasure to stay here.

  • Reviewer: Danielle

    Comments: I cannot recommend this apartment enough. Central, beautifully-decorated and very comfortable, the apartment itself feels like a home away from home. As for Henrique, he could not have done more to make us feel at home - the local tips were especially helpful!

  • Reviewer: Emma

    Comments: Thanks so much to Henrique and Isabel for our stay and great hospitality! We absolutely loved the apartment - it is a gorgeous place; comfortable bed, spacious living area and clean bathroom. It’s situated on a street which is relatively quiet but close walking distance to all local amenities including a supermarket, chic bars and restaurants, quirky shops. It was just far enough from the town centre to feel private and peaceful whilst being a stones throw away from all of the excitement of Porto. I would thoroughly recommend staying here to anyone visiting.

  • Reviewer: Giancarlo

    Comments: Everything was as described. We liked the apartment, spent a great time there and Henrique was an absolut great host. He gave us excellent local advices where to eat and to visit, very gentle and was every time reachable...a great host!!! The apartment, location and Henrique...absolutely recommended!

    Comments: Gerestaureerd huis/ appartement met alles erop en eraan. Mooie ruime inrichting met zonnige houten vloer. Geen tierlantijnen of stofnesten. Schoon en gemakkelijk schoon te houden. Ik beveel het graag aan. Loopafstand Centrum 10 minuten. Tevens vlakbij Metroknooppunt Trindade

  • Reviewer: Nicola

    Comments: An amazing welcome. Very warming people who make you feel at home from the moment you enter and an amazing flat which is clean and well maintained! Good details given about the area to know where to go and what to see. Highly recommend this place!

  • Reviewer: Liz

    Comments: This lovely apartment exceeded our expectations. It is spacious, comfortable and was spotlessly clean. We enjoyed spending time on the lovely balcony/terrace. Henrique gave us fantastic recommendations of things to do in Porto. Thank you and we hope to stay again!

  • Reviewer: Holly

    Comments: Henrique was such a great host and went above and beyond to accommodate us. The place is beautiful and in a fantastic location! Would love to stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Phil

    Comments: We loved the apartment and the location. Privacy and tranquillity in the apartment, lots of great bars and cafes nearby, and the city a 10 minute walk away. Henrique is fantastic and was helpful throughout our stay.

  • Reviewer: Cecile

    Comments: L'appartement est très agréable, gorgé de soleil et décoré avec goût, si bien qu'on aimerait rester y vivre ! Idéalement placé sur les hauteurs de Porto, tout est accessible à pied, le quartier regorge de petites boutiques vintage ou design, et se trouve tout près de petites terrasses vivantes et chaleureuses. Henrique nous a accueilli avec le sourire et a pris le temps de nous donner plein de très bons conseils de visites adaptées à nos envies. Il mériterait de devenir un Superhost !

  • Reviewer: Karolina

    Comments: We had a great experience staying at Henrique's place. The host greeted us and provided useful tips for sightseeing. The apartment is very spacious, clean and has everything you need for a quick or longer stay. Having A/C was much appreciated as it can get warm from the sun ... I highly recommend this place for your stay in Porto.

  • Reviewer: Nicole

    Comments: Super accueil, appartement très agréable ou l 'on se sent bien dès qu' on y entre ! Quartier calme et facile pour partir chaque matin visiter Porto.

  • Reviewer: Meghan

    Comments: Beautiful apartment! The air conditioning was helpful as the sun warms up the place during the day. Henrique was more than helpful and offered great tips and gave us our bearings by patiently explaining the city. Kitchen is well equipped for your stay. We loved Porto! The hop on hop off bus tour was great. We chose the little yellow bus - and for €25 had a 2 day pass which included bus for 2 days, 6 bridges river cruise and a surprisingly great port tour! Good value. Do try the frenchasina! Enjoy Porto and your stay with Henrique!

  • Reviewer: Axel

    Comments: Perfect location. Most things in Porto seems close but this apartment is secluded and at the same time a stone away from everything. The apartment is spacious and the AC does the job during 34 degrees+. When we come back, we want to stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Joe

    Comments: Lovely apartment, good location and great terrace. The bedroom is internal which I didn’t realise

  • Reviewer: Remy

    Comments: Thanks for everything Henrique, we had great time and the appartement was great.

  • Reviewer: Caroline

    Comments: Très chouette appartement, très calme, lumineux, spacieux et très bien équipé. Le balcon est un atout important. Quartier très vivant et pas touristique ce qui fait du bien! (Il n'est pas loin à pied de toutes les choses à voir) Henrique accueille de façon très disponible. Bref à recommander chaudement.

  • Reviewer: Daisy

    Comments: Beautiful apartment, great location. Henrique gave us maps and wonderful tips about the local attraction. We enjoyed our stay very much and would do it again if we are ever in Porto again. Watching sunset on the balcony was relaxing!

  • Reviewer: Janet

    Comments: Nice one-bedroom apartment in well refurbished apartment block. The location is interesting and convenient. The sofa bed is too small for 2 people.

  • Reviewer: Gregg

    Comments: The place is just as pictured and was very clean. The bed was comfortable and there was very little outside noise. Great patio to sit on to have breakfast or a glass of wine later in the day. The location is perfect. We walked to just about everything. Henrique provided recomendations and explainations to anything we asked about.

  • Reviewer: Enisa

    Comments: The apartment is spacious and modern. It is close to the metro and about a 15 minute walk to the river. The area initially appeared to be a bit grungy but it also had a lot of local colour and interesting shops. Some great local bakeries and port shops are near by.

  • Reviewer: Ben

    Comments: A beautiful space in the heart of Porto. bright and airy, with some lovely period touches - and an incredibly warm and informative welcome from our host, Henrique. The perfect spot for a weekend break!
