I loved everything about the place and the owners. Mostly I interacted with Corina and she was amazingly nice, helpful and kind.
The flat itself is very welcoming, cozy and has everything you need for a short or long-term stay. All the little details and household items are so well-selected and add to the experience.
The location is basically inside Alameda shopping mall - so whatever you need is just a 3-min walk away - supermarkets, ATMs, cinema…
I loved it that there was a spare set of towels and linens and plenty of blankets and bedcovers to keep you warm.
The metro station is a short walk away and gets you anywhere in the city in a matter of minutes.
There’s just one thing - football is not my scene at all and quite frequently there were matches and other events at the stadium which is located nearby. Those were quite loud even with the windows closed. However, if you’re a fan, you can basically watch matches from the balcony :)
I loved the experience and that this cozy studio and its amazing owners made me feel at home in Porto instantly. Thank you for everything and all the best of luck!
Neighborhood
The neighborhood is mostly safe save from way too many beggars (but then again it’s the stadium premises, so I’d expect that). Coming back at night, walking around at any time of the day felt safe but for the match days. Crowds of fans may get unruly.
The building itself is super safe with concierge service.
The transport network is great - bus stops and 2 metro stations within a 5-min walk.
Alameda shopping mall has everything you need but there are not many cozy cafes Porto is famous for nearby. However, within a short 15-20 min walk (beware - uphill one) you may find plenty of those and also a really lovely park with a breathtaking viewpoint and a maze :)

The apartment and Sara were both amazing! The apartment is brand new with all the amenities you could hope for and Sara was always responsive and checking in to see if we were comfortable. I will stay here again if I return to Porto.

This apartment is in impeccably clean condition, nicely furnished, and in a walkable location close to all amenities while being extremely quiet and peaceful. It also has 400MB internet connection and SmartTV. I liked it so much and was so comfortable there that I didn't want to leave. Highly recommend!
Neighborhood
Local residential neighborhood outside of the touristy areas but still close to everything.

Wonderful flat in quiet building, no noise from traffic. Everything you could want for is in the flat, even a dish washer and a washing machine. Comfortable bed and nice shower. There is an outdoor balcony which must be so lovely in spring / summer time. I stayed for a month and I really enjoyed my time there and was a little sad to go. Landlords Sara and Corina are lovely people that were quick to reply and ever so helpful. Couldn´t ask for nicer landlords!
Neighborhood
Lidl is close by, which has a selection of organic food. There are also some nice bakeries really close by. Incredibly cheap they were. You need to walk a little to get to more corporate commercial stores, coffee shops etc. and tourist attractions, but everything is easily reachable on foot.

I stayed in this lovely flat for two weeks and it was so cozy; it truly has everything you might need. I slept very well here, and also enjoyed some days hanging out around home. It's located in a quiet part of the city within walking distance to touristic places. Very communicative and cooperative hosts. Highly recommend!
Neighborhood
A Portuguese neighborhood which is not too touristic. It's quiet with great access to the older, more touristic parts of the city. Friendly and safe.

The restaurant at Suribachi is great for vegans/vegetarians. The food is very well prepared, and affordable.
