ELEGANT AND SPACIOUS ART DECO APARTMENT by GRANDMOTHER VICTORIA

This is the perfect apartment for those who like to relax at the end of the day, after exploring the city, drinking a Port wine in this refined and warm atmosphere, punctuated with vintage pieces from the first decades of the 20th century!
The great comfort of the apartment is guaranteed by the air conditioning and the excellent insulation and soundproofing, and also from the velvet and silk fabrics, and delicate sheets on the beds.

The apartment, in a traditional building from the 1940s, has just been completely restored. Its location is perfect for exploring the city of Porto on foot!

The kitchen is equipped with ceramic hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, oven, grill, espresso machine, kettle, etc., and washing machine and vacuum cleaner. Also available two LCD TVs and Wi-Fi connection.

It has two full bathrooms, and the details of the bedrooms are:

1 - the purple bedroom, very cozy, from wich the only opening is a large sliding glass door onto the bright entrance hall of the small balcony, and with thick curtains to cut the light.
The imposing rosewood bed from the first decade of the 19th century is in the traditional Portuguese style Dona Maria, and has a comfortable mattress of 1.40 x 2.00

2 - the green bedroom has a king-size bed (1.80 x 2.00) and mattress of the highest quality which can be separated into two single beds. There are blinds and curtains for total darkness.

3 - the red bedroom, warm and welcoming, with a sofa bed that opens and turns into a comfortable double bed of 1.40 x 2.00 , and also with thick blinds and curtains for total darkness.
To enter into the green bedroom you pass through the red bedroom, therefore, for an occupancy of up to 4 people, the green bedroom works like a large suite with antechamber and private bathroom

The apartment has two entrances. By the main entrance, the apartment is on the second floor,
without elevator, but with very comfortable stairs.
By the other entrance, access is through the gate below to the street and the comfortable outdoor stairs to the balcony.

The apartment includes free parking in a garage 50 meters from the building

Fresh fruit and Porto wine are offered for consumption on arrival free.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE APARTMENT ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGOROUS CHECK BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL to guarantee you maximum comfort and safety.

Excellent stay in Porto

We stayed here for 5 nights, (2 adults / 1 child) and had a wonderful experience right from the moment we met Manuela. She checked us in and gave us lots of information about the surrounding neighbourhood and Porto, which was very helpful. She also quickly responded to a few additional questions we had about Porto over the days we were staying there. The apartment is lovely, very clean, and very well equipped. Easy to feel comfortable staying here. Plus it has air conditioning, which is a huge bonus for Europe! I would highly recommend this apartment and we'll look to stay here again for our next trip to Porto.

Good, but.....

Overall, our stay at this apartment in Porto was fine. The apartment itself was as advertised, very clean and spacious. All the amenities of home were provided, including air conditioning. The Portugese welcome wine was a nice touch as well as the fruit basket and biscuits. The location of the apartment was good. We could easily walk to the pedestrian shopping street and many sites. The host, Jorge, was very pleasant and accommodating. He provided us with a map and suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing. However, when packing to depart we noticed that we were missing a silver necklace and ring, a pair of sandals and a bra. Based on previous reviews for this location, this was probably a one off incident. Jorge vouched for the honesty of his staff and claimed no one had access to the apartment while we were away. In hindsight, there was some physical evidence that someone had been in the apartment but we had not focused on it until we realized that items were missing. The issue was never resolved since we were headed out of town that morning. It did, unfortunately, put a damper on our stay in Porto.

Beautiful property close to a town square, with restaurants and groceries just steps away. Awaiting us when we came in out of a downpour was a bottle of wine, a bowl full of fruit, and hugs all around, followed by detailed suggestions by the host. The large apartment easily accommodated two couples.

Good location and parking

Manuela checked us in, meeting us at the parking garage and walking us over to the apartment. The parking garage is outside the restricted zone but maybe 50 m from the rental. The street is a bit bohemian with “working ladies” plying their trade out of a building across the street. Prostitution is legal in Portugal and they and their clients were no problem. The area is safe and an easy walk onto the main streets of central Porto. The apartement is as listed. Neither bedroom has ensuite bath, but the rooms are quite separate. Manuela was lovely :). We did have an issue with the stove top - a quartz hob. The discs once heated and turned off prevent you from using any other disc until the "H" for hot turns off. So, if you are cooking in, don't turn off your disc until you have everything cooked! If I could have given 4.5 stars, I would have - essentially 0.5 a star off as the apartment was a bit musty - BUT it rained the entire time we were in Porto, so I have no doubt that if we could have aired it, it would have been fine. :)

One of the best VRBO’s in 20 years

I’ve been renting VRBOs for over 20 years and this was the best supplied I’d ever encountered. There was every possible essential needed for our 12 day stay. We found it a perfect location from which to enjoy all of Porto. Manuela was an extremely supportive host. The check in was thorough, warm and friendly with lots of information to support a good understanding of Porto. We highly, highly recommend!!

Wonderful Experience, Wonderful Owners

Jorge and Manuela were amazing hosts! We stayed as their guests for 5 weeks. When we arrived, we were greeted by Jorge who gave us a map with areas/restaurants/things to do marked. We were also greeted with champagne, wine, port, fresh fruits, and chocolates!The area was close to the city center, churches, Ribeira, Gaia (for port tastings), and the shopping areas, which was an ideal location for walking and exploring. We did not realize what a foodie area Porto was and we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurants that you could walk to were amazing.This apartment was very spacious, especially by European standards, and exceptionally well stocked. Jorge and Manuela made sure that we had everything we could possibly need. We stayed for 5 weeks and they had the apartment cleaned every week which was so nice! The beds were very comfortable. Bedrooms are split providing privacy from each other. There are stairs as stated in the listing. Americans would do well to remember that in America (except NY as far as I know) we count the ground floor as 1. In Europe it is usually counted as 0. Therefore there were more stairs than we expected but they were easy to traverse. When we travel back to Porto, these owners would be our first choice of properties to return to visit. Their pride of ownership shows, not only in the property, but in the hospitality.Thank you Jorge and Manuela for making our stay so memorable!

Great spot

Jorge was a great communicator and accommodated us for an early check in. He provided everything we could need. The apartment was beautifully furnished, spacious, and comfortable. We were a five minute uber from downtown Porto so it was very convenient. The little neighborhood had a nice breakfast cafe around the corner for great coffee and several restaurants within walking distance. It’s a typical working class neighborhood so you’re living like a local. Many thanks to Jorge, a consummate host.

Two flights of stairs were not difficult for us (2 of us are 70 plus).The weather was super and the hills manageable.

Wonderful stay in Porto

Manuela was very helpful upon arrival to Porto, meeting us at the parking garage a few blocks from the apartment. She guided us to the apartment and was a wonderful help with suggestions on restaurants and sites to see while we were in town. The apartment itself was very nice and conveniently located in the old town. About the only "downside" was the street noise in the primary bedroom in the early morning but considering the location of the apartment, it was to be expected. Definitely a recommended stay from us.

I stayed five weeks in this large comfortable apartment. It is well-furnished with a full kitchen, two complete bathrooms, and three bedrooms. The living room is large and comfortable, and there are three places to gather to eat: the kitchen, balcony table, and dining table. The bedrooms are private, and there are doors to insure sound proofing within the apartment between bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces. I loved the neighborhood--close to everything but not too busy except on weekends. The hosts were responsive and went out of their way to answer questions and to tell me what to see in the neighborhood and beyond. I would recommend this apartment--a five star experience in lovely Porto!

Very comfortable, chic apartment was great home base for our stay in Porto area with my son and his wife. Property is well equipped and spotless! Owner gave a full orientation and recommendations for shopping, dining and attractions. The indoor parking garage (~3 blocks away) was a HUGE bonus providing 24hr, simple vehicle access to support our day trips to Douro Valley, Aveiro and Guimaraes day trips. Grocery store right down the block and many sites in Central Porto in walking distance. Highly recommend and hope to return.
