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!

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.

Nice and quiet!
We had a comfortable stay in Porto Town- and with Rui a very warm-hearted and friendly host! Not far to the old town, only a short walk and three metro stations away. We like to recommend this accommodation. Have a wonderful time in this lovely city! H.Schubert

Perfect For Us!
My niece and I spent 3 nights is this 2 sweet bedroom apartment. Our host, Rui, is a delight! He was waiting for us when we arrived, explained the necessities, and provided fruit, tea, coffee, and even a bottle of wine! Lastly, the bedding was warm and cozy, which was perfect after a long day of touring. Thank you Rui!

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.

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 host & lovely place
A friend and I stayed for about two weeks and I’m grateful that we came across it in our search. The apartment is quaint and had everything we needed. I especially appreciated that it had some basics that allowed us to cook our own meals on occasion, loved the backyard and although it is close to downtown Porto it’s located in a quiet neighborhood. Rui is the best host we could have asked for! He was warm, welcoming, accommodating, very responsive and just super kind. Although I arrived well before check-in time, he allowed me to already leave my luggage there, and we even went to a neighborhood café having a very pleasant chat and he gave me some great recommendations. Would definitely stay there again when in Porto. Thank you Rui!

Excellent - très bon accueil de Rui avec de délicates attentions à l'arrivée
Une maison très agréable , conforme à l'annonce, très appréciable avec sa terrasse fermée et son jardin. Rui est un hôte très accueillant et très gentil qui fait tout pour faciliter votre séjour et qui agrémente votre arrivée avec de délicates attentions, Maison un peu à l'écart du centre ce qui favorise le calme appréciable et cependant facile à pied pour rejoindre le centre historique, et 1 métro tout près en cas de fatigue! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour , Porto est une ville charmante , nous recommandons vivement notre hébergement et cette destination.

Ce bien possède un extérieur appréciable, sans vis à vis et tres calme. Réception très sympathique par le propriétaire. Tres bien situé, proximité du métro mais sommes allés aussi jusqu'au centre historique, à pied. Petit supermarché en proximité et restaurant A recommander.
