Tre giorni a Porto
Pros:

Camera situata in una zona super centrale che permette di visitare tutta la città a piedi (c'è anche un supermercato dietro la struttura). Stanza e bagno puliti, spaziosi e dotati di tutto l'essenziale. Miguel è un host fantastico, sempre presente e disponibile! Consigliatissima :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely exceptional!
Pros:

I have traveled across many countries in Europe and around the world, and I can honestly say that I have rarely experienced such an incredible level of cleanliness, care, and attention to every little detail. The fact that this is a historical building makes it even more impressive — everything is preserved with love, yet it feels perfectly fresh, spotless, and welcoming.

I am from Germany, where we have very high standards when it comes to cleanliness and organization, and I can genuinely say that this place exceeded even my expectations.

A very special thank you goes to Miguel. He is not just a manager — he is the heart and soul of this place. His kindness, warmth, professionalism, and dedication are something truly rare. He makes every guest feel not like a customer, but like a welcome friend. People like him are the reason why some places remain unforgettable.

Thank you for making our stay in Porto so special. We will leave with beautiful memories and will recommend this place to everyone we know.

With great appreciation and respect,
from Germany 🇩🇪

Pros:

너무 조아씀. 추천!
중심가 둘러보기두 좋고, 깨끗.
아마도, 게스트하우스를 운영하다가 최근에 bnb도 확장하신듯. 개인적으론 화장실 있는 방으로 해서 다 편하구 좋았음.

This was one of the best places I stayed during my trip.
Everything was spotless, comfortable, and very well looked after. I could tell that a lot of care goes into maintaining it.

The location was excellent, with a supermarket right next door, which made daily shopping very easy. During my stay, the kitchen was under construction, but there was a spacious shared kitchen in the neighboring building. Future guests may even be able to enjoy new kitchen once the work is finished.

I only met the host briefly, but he was kind, responsive, and welcoming. Every interaction was pleasant and professional.

Thank you for your kindness and for providing such a lovely place to stay.

Cons:

Nothing.

Clean, comfortable and convenient
Pros:

Clean and comfortable. The kitchen on our floor was out of action, but we could use the one in the building next door. We didn't in the end but it looked fine. Fifteen minutes walk or so from the city centre, and very close to Campo 24 Agosto metro station.

Cons:

Only moan was having a separate bathroom with a keycode - trying to remember that in the middle of the night seemed a bit unnecessary.

Fantastic place to stay in Porto
Pros:

Light, modern and comfortable room with small balcony and large separate private bathroom. Also, access to the kitchen next door meant self-catering was possible. Great location, within easy walking distance of market, lots of sights and restaurants. Hosts provided an excellent information pack.

Pros:

Nice clean room, comfortable bed, good communication with owner.
Good location.

Cons:

No kettle in room, even though you have access to a kitchen, but have to go to a different building a couple of doors down if you want a hot drink whilst you're getting ready, which is a bit inconvenient.
Also someone took some of our food from the shared kitchen which we wanted for our last day, even though labeled as instructed, obviously not the owners fault though!

Pros:

Su ubicación, barrio tranquilo, a diez minutos andando del centro, con supermercados, farmacia y restaurantes al lado. El edificio cuenta con ascensor. Y el check in es muy fácil, te envían video y contraseña unos días antes y no hay problema. Cómodo y práctico.
No puedo hacer una valoración del alojamiento en sí en general porque está en obras y creo que cuando se terminen va a estar muy bien.
Nosotras cogimos una habitación con baño privado. Era amplia, camas cómodas, baño pequeño pero justo lo que necesitábamos y con un gran ventanal por dónde entraba mucha luz natural. La habitación estaba muy limpia a nuestra llegada, aunque echamos de menos una TV, seguro q futuro la tendrán porque está la instalación.

Cons:

En cuanto a insonorización se refiere podría mejorarse, el trajín de huéspedes en la zona común para ir al baño compartido era bastante ruidoso. Ya no tanto por el alojamiento sino por la falta de civismo de los huéspedes contiguos a nuestra habitación. Nuestra puerta de entrada no llegaba hasta el suelo y es que se escuchaba todo y entraba la luz de la zona común. Es verdad que la habitación tenía otra puerta dentro pero aún así no era suficiente para airlas los ruidos.
