    Comments: Very helpful and friendly host.

  • Reviewer: Laura

    Comments: Piso bonito, limpio y muy bien situado! Identico a las fotos. Un poco ruidoso con los vecinos. No habia calefacción, después de quejarnos, nos trajeron un calefactor al cabo de 24 horas. Y calentaba mas bien poco. En el chekin la chica llego un poco tarde. Por lo demas todo bien y hay que decir que estubimos muy agusto!

    Comments: We had an absolutey lovely stay. We loved the appartement, it was really cozy, clean and well furnished. It‘s also directly in the city center, so almoust everything was in walking distance. The communication was also very good. We arrived very late but this was no problem at all. We can totally recommend that place.

  • Reviewer: Chiara

    Comments: El Piso de Sara es fantástico! Tiene un estilo súper bonito y es igual a como lo ves en las fotos. La ubicación es genial, puedes ir andando adonde quieras sin problemas.

  • Reviewer: Kateryna

    Comments: I had a great stay at this place! The location is perfect - main attractions are within walking distance, there are a lot of places to eat or have a cup of coffee nearby. The supermarket is 3 mins away. All given information is accurate, the apartment is very cosy, light and comfortable. Will definitely come back again!:)

  • Reviewer: Marcela

  • Reviewer: Alejandro

  • Reviewer: Olivia

    Comments: Sara is a great host , the apartments is really nice and spacious exactly as the pictures depict. The road is a bit noisy but we didn’t mind that. Great location away from lots of tourists such a great city will definitely be back.

  • Reviewer: Claire

    Comments: Very charming place and very warming welcome

  • Reviewer: Aristotelis

    Comments: Sara's place was perfect for exploring the beautiful city of Porto. Very central, sparkling clean and fully equiped, with amongst other things, one of the most comfortable beds I have had the pleasure of sleeping in during my airbnb adventures! Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Roslyn

    Comments: This is a very modern apartment close to the retail zone of Porto. Our feelings about the apartment are mixed. There apartment is very compact but it has the most comfortable bed and pillows that we have had in airbnb. We were greeted by Thomas who gave really good suggestions and tips and took the time to write them clearly on the map. The not so good - our apartment faced the road which is a busy bus route. It was too noisy with the balcony doors open and there are no other windows for air flow. The lock on the door is very tricky - sometimes it opens first time, other times it took 5 minutes to get it open. It is a good 15 minute walk to the more interesting Rebeira area. It is close to the Bulhao market but this is closed for 2 years for redevelopment. Next time I'd stay in the Rebeira area but it is probably more expensive.

  • Reviewer: Tash

    Comments: Great location. Marcel showed us in and gave us some very useful recommendations for the local area. Cleaner was still in the flat when we checked in (at 3pm) so we had to leave for a bit and come back. Well stocked kitchen also equipped with olive oil, salt and coffee. A great stay so thank you!

  • Reviewer: Dani

    Comments: Fotos veraces. A 10 min de todo. Muy amables y flexibles. Consejos para recorrer la ciudad muy buenos.

  • Reviewer: Nicoletta

    Comments: L appartamento è molto confortevole e ben arredato, e si trova in una posizione centrale .

  • Reviewer: George

    Comments: Nice apartment with shared garden area. Good facilities within flat and within walking distance of popular neighbourhoods and restaurants. Would happily visit again :)

  • Reviewer: Andrew

    Comments: Great stay in Porto, made all the better for the hospitality received at Sara's place

  • Reviewer: Caitlyn

    Comments: The location is very central, but away enough that it isn’t too loud. The street below can be a little noisy during the day with cars, but was not an issue at night. We were able to walk to and from multiple locations and sites! Close to wonderful food, the bridge which has an amazing view, wine tours, and the train station. The apartment was clean and decorated nicely. Bed was comfy and the shower was great. Communication was very quick! Provided a map with places to go when we arrived and helped carry our luggage up the stairs to the room! We enjoyed our stay!

  • Reviewer: Kaitlyn

    Comments: Our stay in Porto at Sara's was everything we could have asked for. The place was perfect with a small kitchen area, comfy bed, and great balcony. The location is perfect for walking to basically anywhere in the city but is quiet. Sara was so helpful in answering every question I had and helping us get from the airport with such ease after a long 24hrs of travel. Being understanding of our late check in time was so wonderful and made everything so much less stressful. Cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay in this beautiful city! I can only hope to return one day and spend even more time exploring from this fabulous location!

  • Reviewer: Paula

    Comments: Close to all amenities. A little noisy at night with the doors open, would have been nice to have air conditioning as the fan was also noisy.

  • Reviewer: Mathilde

    Comments: Sara’s flat is lovely, tastefully decorated and conveniently located (with a parking at the corner). From this flat, it’s really easy to reach all the points of interest in Porto by walking. We were welcomed by Sara’s friend, Gonçalo. He was very kind and helpful! He even brought us two natas the next day ;-) We had a wonderful stay in Porto and strongly recommend to stay at Sara’s.

  • Reviewer: Sylvain

    Comments: Appartement très agréable et bien équipé proche du centre de Porto et des bonnes adresses pour les gourmands! Lit très confortable pour un séjour reposant.

  • Reviewer: Danique

    Comments: It's a nice apartment at walking distance from many spots you want to visit when in Porto. However, the apartment is rented out by a company which has 50 apartments in the city so we kind of missed the real Airbnb experience. For example, when we asked if it was possible to receive clean towels after a few days, we were told it was not included in the price. Even though that might be the case, we didn't feel it was very good service (we stayed there for 6 days), and besides this there were also no facilities to do it ourselves. The apartment looks great but to be honest it did not meet our expectations (you notice this in the quality, it's really made for short-stay rental).

  • Reviewer: Selina

    Comments: We had a very lovely stay in Porto. The apartment was clean and in a great area. :)

  • Reviewer: Audrey

    Comments: This apartment is in a great location, walking distance to everything. It is clean, modern and beautifully presented. The bed was great we slept so well. I can highly recommend this place to anyone.

  • Reviewer: Brionny

    Comments: Communication before our arrival was great. Sara organised a transfer for us from the airport as we were arriving late and also organised the late check-in. The apartment overall was great and was in a really good location, close to lots of shops but quiet enough for us to get a good nights sleep. There were a few things that weren't perfect like the door to the apartment. The lock was a bit dodgy, so it took about 5-10 minutes each time to unlock the door and eventually get into the apartment, which was quite annoying. The shower wasn't the best either and felt like it might break. Overall though we were happy with our stay and for the price it was really good value for me. We would stay here again. Many thanks!

  • Reviewer: Chloe

    Comments: We loved our stay in this space! Affordably priced, beautiful style, convenient location. We would stay here again. Highly recommend.

  • Reviewer: Margaret

    Comments: It has everything you need and was a close walk to some of the main places to see like Cafe Majestic (delicious breakfast) and the market. It was a great starting point and Junior, who welcomed us was very kind and went out of his way to help us with any troubles.

  • Reviewer: Shasta

    Comments: This place has all the basics for a nice stay. It was in a good location to walking to all the touristy Porto things and a short walk to the metro for things further away.

  • Reviewer: Dani

    Comments: Really nice place! There are quite a few stairs up to the apartment. The room and small balcony are lovely. Good location if you are okay walking. The bathroom was small, but clean, and the shower was decent once we figured out how to use it. The bed was very large and comfortable.

  • Reviewer: Katerina

    Comments: Place is very good located with lovely big windows and also very clean. Only shower is not in its best condition (but still manageable) and one of the bath towels was stained - I asked for a new one but no answer and then we receive only late apology. Besides that we had a wonderful stay in Porto and I believe that next time these problems will not occur again. Would recommend :)

  • Reviewer: Berangere

    Comments: Highly recommended the appartement is great ! The location is very convenient, the appartement was well equipped and decorated. Sara and her friend were so nice and respond very quickly to me. The aera is very nice and it was quiet at night. Easy to reach everywhere because of the metro nearby and by foot because it’s very central.

  • Reviewer: Juliane
