The property was very clean and the location was excellent! All of us slept well on what seemed to be fairly new mattresses. The property owner was very responsive to questions via VRBO message. Check in was also very easy. There was also shampoo and conditioner and hand soap in the bathroom, which was a nice touch that is not always the case in VRBO rentals. I would stay here again.Note that the apartment is on the top floor of a building with no elevator. We knew that ahead of time and it wasn't a problem for us, but I thought I'd mention it to help future travelers plan.Also, this would apply to any rental in Porto, but there is some street noise because it's a city-center location. It didn't bother us, but I thought I'd mention it for future travelers.

GREAT LOCATION IN A FUN CITY

Apartment was perfect for our family of five adults. All rooms were nice and comfortably furnished and supplied with everything we needed. Location is on a small side street right in the thick of things. We walked easily everywhere we wanted to go, including sites, stores, restaurants and the waterfront on both sides of the river.

Wonderful Place to Call Home in Porto

We felt very at home in this apartment while staying in Porto. The central location was very convenient for all of our adventures. There was construction going on around the apartment and I will be interested in seeing how things change in the area as this is completed! Thank you for making our trip more enjoyable!

Great Place to Stay in Porto

We had a great time in Petronela's apartment. This apartment is in a very central area, with easy access to everything. Check-in was a little bit confusing but once we were settled in, we had no complaints. Very clean, quiet building, third floor walk-up. We would definitely stay again. Petronela is a really responsive and available host!

The perfect spot

We loved this location! It was within 5min of many sites and great restaurants. The owner of the property greeted us and gave us a tour upon check in. We visited when it was raining very hard and she allowed us to borrow her umbrella. All of the amenities were clean and the apartment was spotless. I would highly recommend booking through Petronela!

Stay in the best part of Porto

The place was very clean and very well kept. There is a bit of a walk up flights of stairs that I was not expecting, but not anything that could not be done. The host was great and very communicative and helpful. She let us check in early with our bags which was a great help.

Porto break

The property is clean spacious and very centrally located. Walking distance to everything, river is 2 minutes away and plenty of restaurants locally. Petra is very responsive to messages and is lovely. It is on the 3rd floor so lots of stairs to climb which was not a problem for us but Incase someone is elderly or has mobility issues. We had a wonderful stay.

The location and place was very convenient. The check in process wasn’t the best because they didn’t share check in process until after 11oclock on check in day. Not convenient when you are traveling in that day. We weren’t asking for early check in - just wanted the information earlier than that day. Some cabinet drawers are broken, off hinges, place needs some TLC - but it worked for the little time we spent in the apartment.

Perfect location where we could walk everywhere. Spacious and comfortable living/dining room and bedrooms. We were a family of 5 adults and when I asked for just an extra mattress to put on the floor somewhere, the owner was so gracious to set up a double bed along the windows on the first floor to accommodate us. So helpful!! Just 3 notes to keep in mind- as stated in the listing, it’s a 4th floor walk up so might not be great for ppl in/out all day to the apt; not the owner’s fault, but the first floor bedroom is very loud due to street noise below; and keep in mind it is a relatively small kitchen and while it seemed well supplied, it may not be suitable for those looking to cook meals (we did not).

Great location, very nice host.

The location is great for walking everywhere in Porto. Our host, Petronela, was very helpful, kind and responsive - thank you! The apartment is in a small street with some bars and cafés, which makes it quite lively and popular, especially with young locals, what you would expect in the centre of a city like Porto. We really appreciated the sense of being in the middle of things. We would mention that there are renovations going on opposite the apartment building which can be quite loud during the day, but didn't really bother us. Overall, we can safely recommend staying!
