This is a beautiful and well-appointed studio apartment in the heart of the old town in Porto. The host is extremely helpful and quick to provide lots of information on the area, restaurants and things to do. We loved our stay! We arranged a wonderful day tour of the Douro Valley and transportation through our host. There is even a secure luggage storage location next door to this flat. Things could not have been easier for our stay.

Although we had rain, our stay was filled with memories due to the detailed planning of Isabelle. The accommodations were wonderful. The most comfortable of the many high end hotels we chose following Porto. The location was easy to navigate from on foot and of course Isabelle even provided an umbrella.

Porto is a lovely city. Apartment was close to the river and historic sites. It was very comfortable and clean. Complimentary port wine was a nice touch. Be ready for steep streets and steps to apartment. Parking is expensive and driving is challenging,

The restaurant next door, Mistu is a must try, especially their butterfish foie gras and the crème brulée.

Porto Studio Has it All- Location, Design and Service

We loved our stay with Isabel in Porto. The Apartment was spotless, very well designed and comfortable for two. Isabel arranged transportation for us and a great full-day Douro Valley wine tour that I highly recommend. If your looking for a place with a high design fell this is your place. It’s a 2nd floor walk-up but not unmanageable if you can walk the hills of Porto. Also can be noisy at night but that’s the cost of a great location.

Amazing!!!

This was a perfect place to stay. Isabel is incredibly friendly and very responsive. She met us on our first day to make sure we were settled in. She provided recommendations before and throughout our stay in Porto to make sure we had the best time possible. The location is perfect. Steps to the Tram, the bus, the water … everything really. The apartment is so tastefully decorated, very comfortable. We have everything we needed. There is a quaint balcony with beautiful views Isabel went above and beyond to make our trip to Porto memorable. Thank you Isabel!!
