    It was a perfect location. It was about a 30 minute walk from the centre of Porto but there was public transport nearby. It was also only a 10Euro bolt to the centre. We had our own pool also!

    Excellent host, who was so helpful. His hospitality was amazing. Recommendations were spot on, and he even drove us to the train station and ensured we got on the right one. The apartment was a very high standard and very comfortable. Everything...

    This is probably the best booking.com experience I’ve ever had! Beautiful house with a private swimming pool and the host Nuno brings the experience to a different level. He is so knowledgeable not only about Porto but also gave us a lot or tips...
