Ariana hosts a lovely flat, rustic, yet well appointed. Close to the mouth of River Duro, short Uber or tram to downtown Porto. Neighborhood is quiet with great walking opportunities to nearby shopping and restaurants.
A very well presented and clean apartment close to local cafes, bars and restaurants. 5 minutes on foot to the Atlantic beach. Ariana was an excellent host , made sure we had everything we needed.Porto is about and hours walk but local bus and tram are close by and are frequent.
Ariana is extremely responsive and checked in frequently throughout our stay to ensure our trip was running smoothly. We loved the accommodation - very quaint, lovely decor and cute. The backyard was nice to do a quick load of laundry. We had one odd man walk by and comment to us but overall a safe neighbor with dog walkers, children, etc.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Ariana went above and beyond for us. She gave great suggestions and was available whenever we needed her. The property was very nice, clean and comfortable. Unfortunately it was raining when we were there and we didn't get to use the outdoor space. We would return in a heartbeat and plan to do so next time we return to Porto.
Super clean great introduction by owner. Close to town we walked it but bus 500 is easy to take too. Found it quiet and very comfortable. Also great sea walk all along the beach. Love it!
This is an ancient property that is well restored or updated. It has everything we needed. We love the area of Foz. Ariana is a great host and was super helpful in areas of restaurant recommendations, transport and very willing to communicate with you at any time through WhatsApp. She did point out that there is street noise from autos traveling over cobblestone streets, which is true. We have found the noise a common issue with all the old downtown properties we’ve rented in Germany, Italy, Belgium. It’s part of the reality of in-city living.
Traffic was sometimes noisy. Location had easy access to transportation. Several restaurants near by and close to the river and ocean.

Great neighborhood location
Our place was located in a great little area giving us a feel for the real Porto. Lots of character, close to transit and fine restaurants. Arianna,
the landlord, was most gracious. the apartment was simple, but clean and suited our needs nicely. Good positive experience all around.

Characterful ground floor flat with small terrace and access to attractive courtyard garden
Lovely conversion with traditional Portuguese character and some stylish personal touches. Facilities faily basic but everything works well, including a humidifier which takes the chill out of occasioal seamists. The proprietor Ariana has a real interest in making her guests feel comfortable in appealing surroundings. The setting is quite villagey in character and well placed for the 500 bus along the bank of the Douro into central Porto. A delightful park nearby on the mouth of the Douro, and Atlantic beaches within easy walking distance.

Tolle Lage, nette Wohnung, viel zu laut
Super nette Inhaberin, alles perfekt geklappt, das Apartment sehr sauber, tolle Lage und toll eingerichtet,aber nur drei Sterne,da sich das Schlafzimmer direkt an der Gassenstrasse befindet sowie die im ersten Stock vermietete Wohnung durch Holzboden sehr laut ist. Gleichzeitig läuft durch extrem feuchte Luft permanent ein Trocknungsgerät geräuschvoll. Beides war mir nicht bekannt, dann hätte ich es nicht gemietet. Nur für laut-unempflndliche Urlauber zu empfehlen.
