    The room or rather apartment was very clean and cosy. Cristiana makes everything for her guests to have comfortable stay. Highly recommended and will definitely come back again.

    Everything was perfect! The room was more like a mini apartment with a beautiful view of an inside garden. The hosts were more than nice! The location is close to the center, 20 minutes by foot.

    Nothing.

    A whole suite of rooms on third floor, and a balcony overlooking garden at rear of house so very quiet. Kettle and small fridge in room. Fantastic find and felt very safe. Walking distance to many areas for sightseeing. Easy bus ride from train station which saved walking up the hill. Owners are so kind and helpful. Prompt responses to messages.

    Very nice house where the owner lives giving it a feel of a home and not just another airbnb. The room was huge and super confortable. Great location, allowed for walking and getting the feel of the city.

    It’s on small a hill, but Porto is hilly so that is not uncommon.

    Spacious, private, comfortable

    The Book House is a very cozy and calm place to stay. We had a spacious and clean room, equipped with a fridge, kettle and two air conditioning units. The bathroom was fully equipped and spacious too, including a shower, big bathtub, bidet and two sinks. The hostess was extremely nice, provided clean environment and answered all of our questions. And it's called a Book House for a reason: there were classics books in the room, such as James Joyce and Hemingway, the walls had posters with poems and such. There is also a paid laundry facility right next to the Book House, so if you need to do laundry in the midst of your travels, grab the chance :)

    Elegant guest house just outside the city center

    The breakfast was the only issue - I heard from other reviews that the included breakfast was a highlight of the stay, but I couldn't find any information downstairs about where and when to find it. This was a bit disappointing, but it didn't have a big effect on the trip.

    Lovely location in a quiet neighborhood - very walkable to the city center if you don't have mobility issues. The friendly host has done a beautiful renovation on an elegant old townhouse. Our room was really a luxurious suite, which was a fun surprise. Lovely balcony views on a peaceful back courtyard and the city in the distance. The bathroom was especially impressive - larger than some hotel rooms. It had a shower with three different fixtures and a massive bathtub with a jacuzzi feature.

    Beds were less comfortable than we prefer, but overall we enjoyed our stay.

    Very good location in the city, close to city metro. Very nice breakfast served in the room, we ate on the sunny terrace everyday. Amazing shower with hot water.

    The apartment we stayed in is large, really comfortable and clean and is located in a quiet neighbourhood and only a short walk to the centre of town and the main tourist sites. There is secure car parking located nearby. Good breakfast selection, varied every day.

    Only slightly bad thing for us was the bed, we thought it was very hard, could feel the matras springs. some people like that but both of us had a bit trouble sleeping because of it.

    Very friendly and helpful host! Helped us to arrange a taxi when we needed one, we didn’t even need to ask, and provided the breakfast earlier when needed. The breakfast was great, the room was big and clean. everything we needed and just a short walk to the old town.

    Excellent location, very nice host. We had a very early flight, 5 in the morning and she prepared a food for us for the trip despite that early hour! Plenty of good breakfast as well during our stay. Quiet place and very central!
