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.
Environmentally friendly cleaning and disinfection products are used.

Very comfortable accomodation in a very convenient neighborhood!
Manuela and Jorge provide wonderful accomodations for their guests! They care for guests like family rather than clients! The accomodations were beyond expextation... wine, fruit and morning drinks were there for us! The location was very convenient and the apartment very clean and safe. Manuela was generous with her time providing a map and pointing out interesting places we may want to visit.

Excellent location, great space!
Very lovely apartment within walking distance to many sites. The hosts were very knowledgeable of the area and presented us with many options to visit and have a great meal that proved to be excellent. The apartment was very large with an art deco feel. Two flights of stairs were not difficult for us (2 of us are 70 plus).The weather was super and the hills manageable. The beds were very comfortable and there were little treats for us to eat and drink. The marble kitchen sink was amazing ! We would book again in a heartbeat.

The apartment was perfect.We had 4 people on the group including a married couple. There was a very private and large bedroom and bathroom for them which afforded privacy. There were 2 other very large, spacious bedrooms and a second bathroom. All the rooms were well furnished with excellent style. It was also helpful to have a clothes-washing machine in the apartment. The hostess met with us at length and answered any questions we had. This was an outstanding short-term rental. I definitely recommend it.

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.

This charming and spacious appartement was fun to return to after walking Porto. Bring good comfortable shoes! The breakfast place on the corner was convenient. Thank you Manuela and Jorge for making us feel at home and giving us lots of suggestions with indications on the map. Even in the crowds of São Joäo, we felt safe in Porto. The calm of the Portuguese people was a delight.

Perfect Vacation Home
It was perfect from the start. The apartment was located in the heart of town and was very pleasant. We were greeted by our very hospitable host, Manuela. There was a huge basket of fruits and a bottle of port and other drinks waiting for us. Then she went to great lengths to recommend places of interests and restaurants on the map, all of which were spot on. We have no doubt that we will be back to stay longer the next time around.

Stylish, Well-Maintained, Comfortable
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!

Wonderful Stay In 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.

Highly recommend! A special place in a great location.
This apartment is a special place and in a great location. The owners take great pride which is evident throughout. The beds were very comfortable, the home was very well equipped with everything you'd need. Communication with Jorge was wonderful and informative. He even made reservations for us at a restuarant. The large grocery store is just a 1/2 block away which was super convenient. Many stores and restaurants just a block away and very easy to walk everywhere else. If you don't feel like walking, it's easy to get an Uber or Bolt quickly. Internet was slow but besides that, it was a 10. We highly recommend!!

The apartment was very comfortable, clean and well-appointed. Manuela was there to greet us and get us settled. She was spot-on with where to go, what to do and recommendations for restaurants. She couldn’t have been more helpful. The delicious bottle of local port was appreciated! Thanks for everything Manuela!

We had a wonderful stay in Porto. Thank you Manuela and Jorge! The location was great - walkable to most activities and great restaurants and shops. The apartment is very well appointed and beautiful. It is also very quiet despite some street noise in the area. We found Uber to be the best way to get around if we tired of walking. Very inexpensive and always available in 2-3 minutes.

We were immediately welcomed from the attendant at the garage to Manuela greeting us in the garage. We were overjoyed with the beautiful well appointed apartment. This property is not to be missed, you are close to everything Porto has to offer, listen to the suggestions of the host, every detail was helpful and enjoyed. She took the time to let us in on fantastic restaurants and insider knowledge of how to navigate the city. The (quiet) comfortable home with so many little treasures, bottle of wine, basket of fruit, so many luxurious towels. Gorgeous bathrooms, coffee. I’ll stop there, you get the picture.

9 days in porto
The location was very close to many amenities plenty of access to bakeries, restaurants, grocery public transportation and Ubers. It is w/in waking distance ( less than 1 mile ) to the river front , port cellars, restaurants, shopping, and train station. The apartment is 3 rd floor without elevator access and not handicapped access. All necessary kitchen appliances are available and working. Washing machine is clean and very nice drying rack is available. Some (not most) restaurants are Portuguese speaking for reservations. Our hostess Manuela was thorough and kind to identify local excellent restaurants and areas of interest. She is a treasure as she was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Unlike NYC the Portuguese will not rush your dinner. You will ask for your check before they bring it to you. We found many lovely restaurants on the fork app and did not have any meals that disappointed us. The apartment is spacious and beds are comfortable. If navigating the stairs are not a problem we would highly recommend this apartment.

Short, but lovely stay
Having just arrived in Portugal we stayed two nights, and while it unfortunately rained almost constantly, we very much enjoyed our visit. Accommodating our early arrival, Manuela met us at the garage (a convenient 5 minute walk from the apartment) and after explaining the apartment features, she then took time to highlight sites and restaurants on a city map. Communication with Jorge (Manuela's brother) was always prompt and helpful to any questions we had. They both seemed eager to share their love of their city. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and has a personality giving you "a sense of place." When not walking, it was very easy to Uber but if you want to go to Gaia, make sure the driver knows that! It seems Porto and Gaia share some street names. We're sure the city is a very different experience on warm, sunny days, but we were still smiling. Thank you.
