porto apartment

We were warmly welcomed by Alfonso and his wife. They gave us a lot of information about Porto and how to get around the city. The apartment was spacious and well equipped and the range of food provided was excellent, including even a bottle of wine. We enjoyed our stay in the apartment and will return one day.

Fantastic Apartment !

This is a great flat to stay. Centrally located just steps from the Cathedral and The Bridge. Fernando is very welcoming and great communicator. Apartment is modern and well stocked with everything you might need. Nice balcony with the coffee table and great view across the river. Apartment is safe and quiet. It's bigger than appears on photos. Supermarket is just minutes away and the main street with shops and Majestic cafe is a five minutes wals. I can say this is one of the best apartments (if not the best!) we've rented through VRBO. Highly recommend !

Comme de la famille

Nous avons été reçu par Fernando avec une gentillesse incomparable il y avait dans son logement des fruits, oeufs, pain, croissants, vins, café, eau en bouteille, etc. en fait, tout ce que vous feriez pour recevoir des membres de votre famille. Nous louons depuis environ 20 ans et c'est la première fois que nous sommes reçu de la sorte. De plus Fernando est de bons conseils et est toujours disponible. L’appartement est impeccable de propreté, de confort et de sécurité. Il est situé à 10 minutes de marche du fameux pont St-Louis et de nombreux sites touristiques. De la terrasse de l'édifice vous avez une vue sur le Douro, et 3 ponts. À proximité vous trouverez supermarchés, pâtisseries, restaurants, centre d'achat et sur la Sta-Catarina de nombreuses boutiques ainsi que la fabuleuse gare de trains à environ 10 minutes. Nous avons passé un séjour mémorable. Merci Fernando pour votre délicatesse et disponibilité Pierre et Liliana Terrebonne , Qc, Canada
