Porto: “Musical Porto” – Fabulous view of the “Casa da Música” and surrounding area

We stayed 3 1/2 weeks to try and live a bit like a local and not “have” to do something every day. There’s plenty of space in the unit, full kitchen and a washer. The bedroom is a good size, bed was a little hard for me but I got used to it. Host very responsive and had goodies for us upon arrival. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water and has air conditioning if needed.

Everything in the apartment was excellent especially the air conditioning which we found worked well and where in the appropriate rooms. Sandra the host was really pleasant and accommodating in every way she even allowed us to have the apartment till the afternoon of our flight as no one was due to stay that day. The balcony was huge and there was ample outdoor furniture for us to use. All in all a great apartment.

Great hostess and very comfortable apartment with off street parking. Comfortable bed and efficient air conditioning. I really appreciated the the well stocked kitchen, with all the basics of preparing home cooked meals (salt, pepper, oil, foil etc.). Thank you Sandra for taking such good care of us.

The people who own and manage the property were unbelievable. The took us on a 5 hour drive around the city on a Sunday afternoon to show us all of the sites in Porto and Gaia. A few days later, they took us for a 3 course lunch at one of the best restaurants in Porto with some American clients renting from them and no living n Porto. My wife was ill one night with an infection, and they called the sister of the owner, who is a doctor. She prescribed some anti-biotics and they drove picked them up, paid for them and brought them to the apartment. On the day we left, we needed a large station wagon type car to take us to the airport as we have two very large suitcases. They drove us to the airport, and we had to fight with them to pay them 10 euros for the gas. The view is great. In the distance we could see the ocean.. The location is just down the street from the Metro and the main bus to downtown stops right in front of the house. Super market is about a 7 minute walk tops.
