Excellent spot - super quiet
We loved staying at Rui's place. We were able to walk downtown every day and enjoy the hustle and bustle but then return to the apartment located in a very quiet neighbourhood. Being just a few minutes walk from a good sized grocery store was an extra bonus. Thanks for everything Rui!

All Good
Our place was very close to historic Porto. We could walk which was an advantage. We had a car and we were able to park very close to the suite. Lots of room- 2 bedrooms, our host welcomed us and answered all our questions. (comfy beds).

Lovely quiet retreat
Rui was a wonderful host; greeting us to orient us to everything in the flat including a few treats he provided. We enjoyed the garden for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine after a day sightseeing. It was a good walk to the main tourist area but transit is also convenient. There is a good grocery store within a short walk. The location was nice and quiet for sleeping.

House in Porto
The owner is a very nice and accommodating man. Any questions Or information required was responded to promptly. My only comment was the house is quite old and things like low water pressure and making sure all doors and windows kept shut because of cats roaming around and ready to jump in was a pain. The house is certainly livable - just expected a little more updated. Other than that it was fine.

Great and quiet apartment in Porto
Lovely stay with a quiet outdoor space, 2 bedrooms, and a full kitchen. It is located in a good spot as you are near the metro and within walking distance of the sites. Rui was a great host and very helpful!

Very cute rental with garden. Parking was available on the street but it is a narrow street. The host was there for our arrival and we had everything we needed. Thanks!

Wonderful Holiday Stay
We had an enjoyable stay at this property. Rui is an excellent host as he provided us with some "essentials" when we first checked in (milk, oranges, wine, cheese, etc). He also brought us a lovely Christmas gift (we stayed here over the holidays) of port wine and pao de lo and even had a small Christmas tree set-up for us when we checked in. The house is as advertised. Unfortunately, we were never able to take advantage of the lovely garden in the back due to the weather.
