The restaurant next door, Mistu is a must try, especially their butterfish foie gras and the crème brulée. Isabel also arranged for us a very nice cruise on the Douro valley together with some wine tasting. Thank you so much ! ##### REYNALD S.

She went above and beyond to help us enjoy our trip and experience the Portuguese culture. The house was perfect for my husband and l and it had everything we needed. It’s in a good location and surrounded by good restaurants and shops. Isabel personally welcomed us and made herself available. We highly recommend her place, we’re also planning on coming back soon. ##### Yofania R.

The Apartment was spotless, very well designed and comfortable for two. Isabel arranged transportation for us and a great full-day Douro Valley wine tour that I highly recommend. If your looking for a place with a high design fell this is your place. It’s a 2nd floor walk-up but not unmanageable if you can walk the hills of Porto. Also can be noisy at night but that’s the cost of a great location. ##### James M.

Isabel is a host extraordinaire , our experience in beautiful Porto would not have been the same without Isabel’s personal touch. She arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport , met us at the apartment with a wealth of information about Porto, valuable tips etc. and booked three tours for us. Thank you Isabel we won’t hesitate recommending your palace . It was a dream come true ! A pleasure to have known you . Xoxo Nancy and Craig , Burlington , Ontario , Canada ##### nancy k.

Location was great-close to the river, variety of restaurants for any budget, grocery stores, shopping and major attractions of Porto. But above all, i appreciate the care and hospitality of our host Isabel. She arranged eveey detail of our stay including airport transfer, tours, amazing breakfast delivery service provided by Tita-always on time, quality food and customized options depending on guest preferences. Isabel recommended and even booked for us few restaurants and we loved each of them for unique ambience and tasty meals. My words don't do the justice to Isabel for all the great care that made our stay at Porto so memorable. Thank you, Isabel!!! ##### Marina V.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with not only the home but the host. She absolutely made our stay more special than anywhere we've ever stayed. Ahead of our arrival and after our booking she stayed in communication and recommended many places and things to do during our stay. She personally met us at the home upon check-in and brought a map and identified many places worthy of a visit. Anytime I reached out during our stay she responded immediately. She is a wonderful person and has a passion for this area. The room is as advertised and is beautiful. Wonderful location near the river and so much shopping and many restaurants, all in walking distance. Don't hesitate to book this home! It's an experience we will never forget! ##### Laura L.
