Elisa and Luis were so kind and generous! We highly recommend them if you are looking for a great place to stay in Porto! The AC, the shower, the lovely bed were what we wanted at the end of our long days exploring the city and Portugal!

Very clean and unique property in the centre of Porto close to the university and within walking distance to all major sites. The hosts Elise and Luiz, were very accommodating, offering an excellent breakfast in the downstairs caffe, The building itself is Unesco listed and inside there is an air of a clean modern property retaining all of the original features. Jump on the bus 601/602 to get to the airport for 2.50 Euros door to door.

Wonderful stay!

Great central location for walkability. A very large apartment with A/C! Having the bakery downstairs with included breakfast was also amazing and the portion size was so generous! Only element to keep in mind, it IS centrally located with nearby late night restaurants and bars so especially on weekend nights, it can be noisy till 2am but, even so, it just felt authentic to the city so just bring ear plugs or a sound machine if you're a light sleeper.
