Cute, central, and lively
The property was exactly as described. As a woman traveling alone, I felt safe and found the area to be central and lively. Everything was within a 10 min walk. I would recommend for solo travelers.

Great location, great apartment
We had a great time at Maria's apartment. Maria was very helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. Great location right by Clerigos tower, walking distance to everything we wanted to do, lots of bars and restaurants nearby. We were very close to a popular street for late nights though, so if you are sensitive to sound/like to get to bed early - it is something to keep in mind.

Nice apartment, location is for party people
The apartment itself is very nice and Maria was very kind. Checking in was a bit difficult but we showed up at night so had to meet up with her outside to get in. What we did not realize when booking is that this location is in the middle of the night life scene. People were outside shouting and singing all night. The windows have shutters that cancelled our most of the noise but we are very light sleepers so could not get any rest. Lovely apartment but you should only stay here if you plan to be out very late

The real Porto
The apartment is just off the tourist track enough that you feel like a resident but still close to all the important sites. It is a very comfortable apartment, and check-in was a breeze. Maria was very helpful and helped us find a parking spot for the car. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing location
We had a fantastic host who greeted us at the apartment, easy to communicate during the booking process. The apartment itself is in the perfect location for finding your way around the city and had all that you need for your stay. There’s a bar below which you can here the music in the weekend, however it’s not overly kind and we slept though without any issues. We’ll be back to visit Porto again as there’s so much to see and we’d book the apartment again should it be available at the time. Thanks Maria!

Excellent stay in great location
We loved our stay here! The apartment is as described in the listing. It’s so conveniently located but be aware that this is a busy area at night. The wood shutters blocked out a lot of the street noise and gave an awesome dark sleep space. Maria was wonderful and made check in so convenient!

Fantastic Location in a wonderful city
Maria was an excellent person to deal with. She was very nice and helped us when we locked ourselves out of the apartment (we would recommend a keypad entry system). The location is superb. There are many restaurants in the neighborhood, and the walk around the city historic monuments and to the Douro River is easy until you need to walk back uphill to the apartment (but don't let this stop you from renting as this walk uphill will occur wherever you rent). The only problem we encountered was that when we arrived after 4pm, the room was still not yet cleaned. Maria had to call the housekeepers, and we had to wait for them to clean the room before we could use it.

Perfect home base if you want to be able to walk everywhere to explore this beautiful city and experience the wonderful Portuguese culture. A vibrant neighborhood in the middle of everything, including lots of wonderful restaurants and a great coffee shop, where we went everyday for breakfast. The people are so friendly, including our host and the driver who took us back and forth from the airport.

Excellent location from which to explore Porto. A few more amenities would have been welcome: corkscrew that is not broken, bath mat, extra dish towel (s), paper goods (toilet paper and paper towels). Also, a bathroom with no windows needs a working exhaust fan.

Oh well...
The owner insisted on meeting us out front and on the street (and within a tight time frame because she's busy). We waited in the rain for nearly 15 minutes. After writing, we discover she's inside the apartment... because it was raining! The temperature was 14c inside. It took more than 24 hours to get to 18c. It never got warmer. Smaller issues: the wine opener was broken, there was no can opener, no tissues, and the fridge door can't be opened more than halfway because the door's cover is falling off and was binding on the other cabinet.

Asked for 2 Euro Cash per person per day extra for "Tax" at check in
No receipt provided for the extra tax, plus we were not comfortable that she took a picture of our passports. She did text that she would delete it properly, however this was unsettling. No other VRBO's that we stayed in asked for passport, only in hotels. Every where else in Portugal, we were provided a receipt for taxes paid. Check in process seemed odd. The location was great and the apartment was nice and clean and spacious although the sofa pillows are looking shabby and should be replaced. An extra blanket would be a nice addition. The wooden shutters did a good job of keeping the street noise out.
