Amazing Porto Property with Wonderful Host!
This adorable apartment was perfectly located, beautifully decorated, clean, and charming. The amenities are exactly as described and the photos perfectly reflect the apartment. The neighborhood is central to everything: restaurants, bars, and all the sites. It's also close to the Douro river and Dom Luís bridge for gorgeous views and photo ops. Property manager Ani was extremely hospitable, helpful, and a wealth of information about Porto and things to see. She also welcomed us with some locally made Port and a lovely cake she made herself. We could not have asked for a more gracious host and best first visit to Porto! Thanks you, Ani! We'll be back.

Adorable Apartment in a Great Location
Definitely recommend this apartment. It is in a great location that is walking distance to all downtown Porto. Ani is an amazing hostess. She welcomed us personally to the apartment and had some port wine waiting for us. She even included a small gift knowing that we were celebrating our 30th anniversary. She walked us through a map of the Porto highlights with numerous recommendations for restaurants and markets from a local perspective. The apartment is well equipped with comfortable beds, kitchen and washing machine. Would definitely stay here again!

Porto Trip
The apartment was very clean and is in a very nice place. It is close to different tourist areas. Ani personally greeted us when we went to the apartment and provided us with a wealth of information about Porto and places to see. Ani also provided us with recommendations about restaurants that offer Portuguese food, and all were great. Overall, Ani is a great host, and we will stay at her place when we return to Porto.

Ani was very good and checked frequently to make sure we got into the apartment ok and that we had everything we needed. Sorry we didn’t get a chance to meet in person. Also this is a a relatively quiet alley way in the historic centre close to many attractions and restaurants.

Perfect location in Porto
The location was perfect for visiting Porto. We were able to walk to most of the old town sites and even across the river into Gaia. The apartment is on the second floor, so not a lot of stairs. The street was nice and quiet at night. The apartment had all the amenities we needed. After a little confusion with the washing machine, which was sorted out with a quick message to the owner, we were able to wash some clothes. I have real troubles with my knees, so I appreciated a nice comfortable bed to lay in and rest after a day of sightseeing. Would absolutely stay here again if we get a chance to come back to Porto.

Great location, wonderful host!
We highly recommend staying here. It was the first stop of our trip to Portugal. Ani arranged for a taxi to pick us up at the airport, which was much appreciated after a long, overnight flight. The check in process could not have been easier, and we were given lots of information about places to eat, visit, and shop. She was in touch regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The apartment was perfect for the three of us. It was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped. In short, it was the perfect place to retreat at the end of the day. The location is very close to the Sao Bento train station and old city. We had a lovely stay, and hope to return again.

PERFECT LOCATION, BEST HOST!
We really loved visiting Porto, Gaia and the Duoro Valley. We walked everywhere from the apartment (except Duoro!)…it was a perfect location. Note that we like to walk a lot to discover and learn. We averaged 15-20,000 steps each day, with hills…Porto’s true topography. It was wonderful to end and start each day at the Porto Insight apartment. It was very comfortable and our host Ani is truly amazing. I give her 10 stars for excellent communication and her true care for clients. Thank you Ani for letting us enjoy your wonderful apartment!

First time in Porto
Ani’s place was perfect for my family’s first time in Porto. Plenty of space for us and one street off of a main street kept it quiet without being far from anything. Just about everything we wanted to go to was in walking distance which is important as traffic can be terrible in the high season. Communication with Ani was top notch as were the personal touches she had in the apartment. I would definitely stay here again on a future visit.

Great location!
Location of this apartment in Porto is ideal! Walking distance for everything we needed to do and see. A little stuffy sleeping with windows closed but a little loud with windows open. Not located on a road with cars so you have to walk in a short distance and up the stairs to apartment, no lift. It was clean and suited our needs. Thank you!

You must stay here if you are visiting Porto!!
We are nearing the end of our family vacation in Europe and we had the pleasure of staying in Ani’s amazing apartment in Porto from June 30 until July 3. You must stay here if you are in Porto. Ani is a wonderful and gracious host, her apartment is so clean, and it is in the perfect location. Ani made the first stop of our family trip to Europe just perfect. She gave us a list of key sights to see and some tips for getting around Porto. She checked in on us and we really felt she took care of us while we were there. Ani even ordered us a cab for our early departure. We would give 100 stars if we could. Thank you Ani! ❤️
