Beautiful little apartment with comfy bed! Such sweet extras left by the owner: a cute little bottle of port to toast, water, coffee, a nap with recommendations. Truly kind attention to detail and very accommodating to early or late coming and going with a secure space for luggage offered. Thank you!

Great great great, special and unique!!!

I was immediately taken by the hospitality and thoughtful and unique touches in my room. I loved the location as it was away from business but close enough to walk to everything and anything. I also had one of the best and most affordable meals of my trip right across the street. I was missing a breakfast and found myself hungry every morning, but that's not to take anything away from this gorgeous unique place. It's just to tell you if you need a breakfast in the morning, this might not be a fit for you. But boy oh boy, if they had breakfast, I would be in heaven. I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely brilliant. The accommodation was very spacious, very tastefully decorated, lots of facilities and everything was spotless and fresh. We even had two toilets. The bed was big, crispy clean and so comfortable. Lots of lovely thoughtful personal touches. Ines was really helpful and very welcoming. We could even get into our room 3 hours earlier, which was so helpful. She also arranged for our taxi to the airport. Ines own recommendations out together in a map were great. We highly recommend this place. The beautiful park opposite was just getting finished and once done will make this hotel even more desirable. If we come back to Porto we know the best place to stay 😊

Well located, spacious apartment in Porto

Well located, spacious apartment that exceeded my expectations! The place is enormous and the bed was so comfortable with a nice firm mattress. There was no noise or disturbance and the building has a lift to assist with bringing luggage upstairs. The check in process was totally smooth and I couldn't fault this place! Would highly recommend.

Convenient and enjoyable

Our stay exceed our expectations. Check in was simple, the stay itself was comfortable with a lot of attention to detail (personalised map). The place was much bigger than we thought it would be. For us, the location was perfect. A little out of the city centre but not too far. Well decorated and furnished.

Great place

A wonderfully unique place. The apartment had everything I needed for convenience, the hotel is located on a beautiful square from which there is a street with many restaurants and boutiques and about a 15-minute walk you enter directly into the city center. I used Uber that cost almost nothing to get to train station.

Remarkable accommodation ~ with super thoughtfulness. Staying a total of 6 nights in Porto, so very lucky to hit on this state of the art guest house. Sleep on cloud feel king bed plus giant comfy sofa bed. Smart TV is now offered. Big fridge and full kitchenette. Everyday water in designer’s bottle plus capsule coffee, wait at your door. We love Porto more because of this unique place and of course, the generous hospitality from host. Room is spacious that I jog every morning before self prepared abundance breakfast. You won’t believe, right. Really unbelievable, have to come and check. And there are endless details in the room, check them all out. You find them in other reviews. I definitely will re~visit Porto if only, I successfully book this place. One minor issue, need to close all window and turn on air~con while sleeping if you are travelling from soundless city. Not noisy but next to road with random traffic. It’s a six star Guest House, thanks HOST 😊Hugs
