★ Romantic - Casa Bela ★ 2 bedrooms

Ariana is an exceptionally considerate host. I think that is why she gets 10/10 all the time. Her apartment is 100 years old but has been well kept. It is a classic early 1900s style reminiscent of much of Europe. Tall ceilings, big french doors etc. The second exceptional thing is that it is in a marvelous location of older porto, more quiet yet accessible to the river promenade, many wonderful restaurants etc. It is fortunately relatively distant from he downtown tourist crowd. There is a beautiful park next door, excellent for walking. The top 3 necessities ie. Bed, airconditioning and shower were 10/10. The shower is a tight fit for a larger person. Ariana was very responsive to any small issues. Definitely a good value. Perhaps the best thing was her referral for us to a car/driver service that allowed us to travel privately at reasonable cost around northern Portugal. He was amazing.

It is a very clean and comfortable apartment in an area that is convenient to walk to the beach or catch a bus or tram into the city.Ariana is a very helpful host and we had everything we needed for a self catered stay. We also ate at Pragar the restaurant at the bottom of the road and the food was very good. We had a very enjoyable stay in Porto and will come again!

We had a great time visiting the area. The apartment is close to the water, supermarkets, and lots of nice restaurants. Ariana was a gracious host-provided everything we needed, including some nice snacks. The apartment is small but has large windows and lots of mirrors, and a great use of the space making it seem much larger. We were a group of four women and there was plenty of space for all of us! It is also decorated and furnished beautifully! We are so glad we chose to get out to a beautiful, quiet area of Porto.

We had a wonderful stay at this historic and beautiful apartment! Arianna was an incredible host who was so helpful, thoughtful and accommodating. She also helped with many great suggestions for Porto first timers. The neighborhood was perfect for what we were looking for and gave us a good feel for what it feels like to be a local! We did walk into Porto and it was a fun journey. I hope to be back to explore more--thank you for a delightful stay!
