  • Reviewer: Mónica

    Comments: Casa reformada, preciosa y muy bien ubicada. Vistas espectaculares a Oporto y al río. Pedro muy atento. Responde muy rápidamente a cualquier duda que surja. Cuida mucho los detalles. Totalmente recomendable.

  • Reviewer: Francisco

    Comments: Overall a great place to stay for a visit to Porto or to the Douro winneries. Very friendly host and new and stylish place.

  • Reviewer: Elsa

    Comments: L'appartement tout neuf, tout propre et au calme est idéalement situé. Les 2 chambres sont très confortables et ont vue sur Porto. L'équipement de la salle de bain et de la cuisine est au top. Les + sont la petite terrasse, la climatisation et la place de parking ! Bref, adresse à recommander sans hésitation. Nous avons passé un superbe séjour, merci à Pedro pour son accueil !

  • Reviewer: Pete

    Comments: What a brilliant apartment! Amazing views from every window, comfortable, spacious and larger than we thought. Perfect for our family of 4 to explore central Porto, all right on the doorstep. Pedro was a brilliant host and made everything really easy. Cannot recommend highly enough!

  • Reviewer: Johan

    Comments: Self check-in/out worked perfect and provides you all flexibility. Great location at Nice area (Riverside and bridge) of the city and 20’ to airport. Communication was good. Parking place is a bit narrow but for our car no problem. Recommended.

  • Reviewer: Jean

    Comments: Un très bel appartement moderne, belle deco contemporaine, avec une vue splendide sur Porto. Rapport qualité prix impeccable.

  • Reviewer: Anne

    Comments: Très bon logement, propre, lumineux et moderne. Tres bien situé à quelques pas du pont Don Luis. Pedro est très réactif à toutes les questions que l’on peut se poser. Séjour très satisfaisant que l’on recommande sans hésiter.

  • Reviewer: Anna

    Comments: Apartamento muy bien ubicado y con una decoración exquisita. Nada a ver con el aspecto exterior de la casa. Además tiene aire acondicionado. Lástima de poder haber estado en él un solo dia. Bien ubicado. Totalmente recomendable.

  • Reviewer: Ramiro

    Comments: Ubicación inmejorable, vistas increíbles desde cualquier estancia, zona tranquila, apartamento silencioso, aire acondicionado en todo el apartamento. Cada estancia tiene su encanto y está decorado con mucho gusto y estilo. El garaje está muy bien, pero es un poco complicado maniobrar dentro. El anfitrión, muy atento tanto en la respuesta a nuestras dudas, instrucciones de llegada como en los detalles de bienvenida. Repetiremos

  • Reviewer: Stuart

    Comments: Amazing property, in the best location with a good host. 10/10

  • Reviewer: Pedro

    Comments: inmejorables vistas y prestaciones, comunicación rapida y ubicación genial!

  • Reviewer: James

    Comments: Loved the apartment, as did the kids. Great location just across the river from Porto itself. Self check-in was super easy and a must as we arrived late. Great views of the river from bedroom side. Parking space was really useful for us, but make sure your car’s not too big, could be a bit tight getting in / out. Netflix Tv, good wifi and air conditioning were all definitely a plus too.

  • Reviewer: Jérémy

    Comments: Très belle appartement, bien entrenue et bien aménagé avec tout ce qu'il faut comme ustensiles et appareils électroménagers . L'aspect extérieur et intérieur du bâtiment laisse à désirer, mais une fois passer la porte de l'appartement on oubli tout. Il est parfaitement decris , comme sur les photos. Pedro est très réactif, le garage est un vrai plus .

  • Reviewer: Eva

    Comments: El apartamento de Pedro es genial!!!! Daba la sensación de que lo estrenábamos nosotros, está todo en perfecto estado. La decoración me ha encantado y la comunicación con Pedro buenísima. Además está en la zona turística, es perfecto!!!!

  • Reviewer: Yuriy

    Comments: Квартира превзошла все ожидания - отличный вид, идеальная чистота и стильный интерьер. Особое внимание к деталям - есть даже аптечка и капсулы для кофемашины. Так же есть парковка в доме, но на длинной машине проехать к месту не удалось. Но это не проблема - в 80 метрах платный паркинг за 15 евро в сутки.

  • Reviewer: Shelby

    Comments: Amazing space. The location has a stunning view, apartment was close to everything and was sparkling clean. The view overlooking the river and bridge was breathtaking.

  • Reviewer: Megija

    Comments: Pedro really deserves Superhost status, the apartment is beautiful and a little problem that we had, was solved withing 10 minutes. Host also was understanding when we were little late for check out :) 5 stars!

  • Reviewer: Jose Maria

    Comments: Totalmente recomendable.

  • Reviewer: Mariana

    Comments: Excelente apartamento, confortável e bem decorado! Localização perfeita! O anfitrião foi muito eficiente no check in / out e muito disponível. Recomendo!

  • Reviewer: Darius

    Comments: Very nice place and very easy to check in and check out.

  • Reviewer: John

    Comments: Perfect location, with magnificent views. The car parking can be a little tight! We really enjoyed our time at this apartment (But as a month long traveller a washing machine would have been appreciated!)

  • Reviewer: Dr. Akshay

    Comments: Pedro truly deserves superhost status. Check-in and check-out were both seamless. Car parking spot can be an issue for longer cars. The house was sparkling clean and well equipped. Great location with even better views. Highly recommend.

  • Reviewer: Kristal

    Comments: 房子装修很好, 跟图片一模一样。里面的配置都比较高级,整体的居住感觉都很不错。位置也比较方便,走五分钟就是河边,对面还有一家不太贵的米其林。房间的窗口可以看到日落很棒。如果要挑毛病只能说车库的门太小太窄会担心进不去,然后电梯特别的旧,没有里门,会觉得不安全。 Overall is good. The location is perfect, just takes you 5 mins to the riverside. The apartment looks new, and easy to check in and out. The garage is a little bite small, but it is not a problem. The host is nice and reply my message quickly. Thanks for hosting.

  • Reviewer: Melissa

    Comments: Pedro’s place is AMAZING! The pictures of this place online are great but it is so much prettier in person. So modern, sleek, clean, cool and in a wonderful location! We so loved this place and made our trip to Porto very special. Thank you Pedro!!! Bravo!!!

  • Reviewer: Suilanith

    Comments: O apartamento é maravilhoso, super moderno, extremamente limpo e a vista é IMPAGAVEL!!! super recomendo! O Pedro foi atenciosíssimo conosco, voltarei lá sem sombra de dúvida.

  • Reviewer: Ed

    Comments: Great place, fantastic location, beautifully decorated

  • Reviewer: Peter

    Comments: A great location with easy access to the old city and river area. Car park was a big challenge, if you have anything other than a very small car it is impossible to use.

  • Reviewer: Insu

    Comments: Very Nice!!! I strongly recommend

  • Reviewer: Spela

    Comments: Pedro’s place is fantastic, completley renewed and stylish. He was a good host, and did not bother us. We are a family of 4 and would be happy zo have more glasses and plates. The views and the location of the apartment is fantastic, the metro is close as well as the waterfront! We would definetly come again!

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: Great place!

  • Reviewer: Anita

    Comments: This apartment was the best one out of the 4 we stayed in during our 9 day holiday and such a great ending to our holiday was here. Super stylish, super modern and super sweet! We enjoyed the gorgeous bedrooms with comfy beds and amazing view, the shower is incredible (you will see if you book here) the kitchen has everything needed including coffee machine, and living is perfectly furnished and comfortable with handy Smart TV. Our group of 4 had nice evenings cooking dinner and then watching some shows in the tasteful living room. The decor is just so beautiful. We hope to come back to Porto and stay in this apartment as we decided two nights wasn't enough....we could stay there for a week or even forever :)

  • Reviewer: Anne-Marie

    Comments: Appartement très correct. Joliment décoré, lumineux et idéalement situé. Nous conseillons fortement.

  • Reviewer: Gabriela

    Comments: Casa muito bem localizada com uma bela vista. Quartos confortáveis, muito bem equipada e com muito estilo! Valeu muito a pena e repetiremos com certeza!

  • Reviewer: Hamid

    Comments: amazing location

  • Reviewer: Anaïs

    Comments: Très bien

  • Reviewer: D.Y

    Comments: if you drive to this flat, you will be in trouble for sure. the gate for parking lot locates completely different way and the explanation from host is very unclear. at the same time the parking lot is very narrow and hard to get entered. but if you are not driving, it can be a good flat to enjoy the night view. also, it is well equipped but no laundry machine in the entire building. so, not recommended for long period travelers as well. if you go into bed room, you cannot use the wifi anymore since the device has very weak transmission.

  • Reviewer: Vanesa

    Comments: Llegada autónoma muy cómoda, con muy claras instrucciones de cómo acceder a la vivienda y al parking. Me ha parecido muy cómodo no depender de una hora concreta de llegada. La vivienda tal cuál las fotos, muy bonita y unas vistas y situación inmejorable.

  • Reviewer: Olaf

    Comments: A great stylish and clean place to stay. Communication is very fast and helpful. Very close to the center. The parking space in the garage is quit small so don't come with a too big car. Porto is not a town for big cars many road and parking space are very narrow and small.

  • Reviewer: Hugo

    Comments: Es bonita y con una preciosa vista. Te da todo lo que necesitas y estás ubicado en una zona estupenda. Todo perfecto.

  • Reviewer: So Rim

    Comments: 집 내부가 아주 깔끔하고 예뻐요. 다만, 건물 외부가 많이 낡았습니다. 엘레베이터와 집 문고리는 안전한지 걱정이 됩니다. 주요 관광지들을 가려면 동 루이스 다리를 건너 가야하는 언덕에 위치하기 때문에, 최고의 뷰를 가지고 있지만 어디든 조금 멉니다. 포르투는 가파른 언덕들이 많이 있기때문에 이 조금의 차이가 많이 아쉬울수 있습니다. 건너편에 2018 미슐랭 가이드 음식점이 있습니다. 많이 비싸지만 맛있고 친절합니다.

  • Reviewer: Nicholas

    Comments: Absolutely amazing stay. Best air b and b stay yet. Amazing house beautiful views excellent shower living and bathroom I would stay here again. Thank you :)

  • Reviewer: Ji-Ji

    Comments: Very nice flat. Everything is as describe. The building is a little bit old.

  • Reviewer: Anne-Flore

    Comments: Un appartement luxueux dans une ville sublime. Une vue à couper le souffle. A quelques pas du pont Louis 1. Un séjour époustouflant entre tradition et modernité. Je recommande fortement.

  • Reviewer: Andreii

    Comments: Excellent apartment with excellent views of the city center. Stylish and new repair in the apartment, there are many important little things. Pedro always responds quickly, very convenient check-in, we arrived very late, the key was in the safe at the door of the house.

  • Reviewer: Caitlin

    Comments: Pedro’s apartment was exactly what was pictured. It was in a great location in Gaia steps away from the bridge to Porto. He gave clear, concise directions with pictures. His amenities were spotless and the views were amazing. Definitely would recommend staying here!

  • Reviewer: Françoise

    Comments: Emplacement super !!!! Garage dangereux pour se garer La remise des clés difficile

  • Reviewer: 학동

  • Reviewer: Alvaro

    Comments: un acierto, eso si, prepárate para pasar un poco de miedo en el ascensor...

  • Reviewer: Isaac

    Comments: El alojamiento muy bien. La ubicación y calidad del edificio y el aparcamiento dejan mucho que desear. Nunca vino al anfitrión y tampoco tuvimos recomendaciones locales. Cómo puede ser un súper host?

  • Reviewer: Volodymyr

    Comments: Pedro's place is wonderful place to enjoy Porto and its surroundings. The place is clean, warm and has fantastic views over the city. It has a private parking space which is a rare find in the area. Overall, this apartment is everything you can wish for to enjoy the wonderful city of Porto!
