Family-friendly vacation rentals in Porto

The apartment is clean is spacious The hosts were friendly and responsive As some other reviews mention, traffic noise from the outside was audible at night

Everything was great. Sophia was a great, she was helpful and recommend us great things to do and restaurants as well. It was very clean also, I definetly recommend this place.

After you go through the door at street level you walk up a flight of exterior stairs to the front door. The two main bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and bathrooms are on this level then up open stairs to sitting area and additional beds. The apartment is beautifully designed and decorated and beds are very comfortable. It’s very quiet at night. One small store with some food about five minutes away. Clara is very friendly and helpful.

10/10 for Alvaro’s place! He and his wife were extremely welcoming, meeting my friend at the house to let her in and explain how everything works. Alvaro provided us with lots of information, possible itineraries depending on length of stay, and was quick to respond if we had any questions. While the weather wasn’t the best during our stay, the sound of the rain hitting the skylights during the night was very peaceful. The location is extremely safe and tucked away down a gated alley with some other houses. Across from the entrance of the house is a little garden with lemon trees and several other forms of vegetation. The set of colourful stairs that leads back down to street level made it easy to access the main sidewalk which you would take into the city centre (it’s closer than you think!). Upon our departure, Alvaro was kind to let us stay 30 extra minutes as we were having issues completing our check-in for our flight. Wonderful experience, highly recommend Alvaro’s place :)

We had a wonderful stay. Plenty of space, cozy common areas and nice local area. Easy to get to Porto too. Very nice host. Responded quickly when we had questions and was flexible with checkout.

The host was very responsive and easy to work with. The location was very centrally located which was fabulous. The only negative is that for a space that large the hot water tank is very small. Lots of cold showers.

The apartment is very clean and can also be used on cool days - thanks to the air conditioner with heating function. Lovely and tasteful decor - we felt very comfortable. The restaurant tips are helpful. The location is unbeatable - close to the center and yet quiet. Thanks for the nice days.

It was an amazing time in Porto! Vânia's house is amazing, her father is super helpful and polite, I will definitely be back! I recommend it 100%

Perfect place to stay

Lovely stay in Porto - apartment was just how it looks in the pictures - note that it's pretty much one large room, with the second double bed on a sort of mezzanine, separated from the main section by wooden slats. It was on the third floor, so might be tricky for people with mobility issues, however the apartment itself was comfortable, clean, air conditioned, and in a fantastic location to explore from without being noisy at all. We stayed for the Primavera Sound festival, and went sightseeing in the day - we could walk to all sightseeing, and were very near the metro for the festival, and only a 35 min journey from the airport! Ideal!

Constanca was extremely helpful and always at the other end of the phone to help with queries we had . She went out of her way to make our stay a very pleasent experience. The cottage is a beautiful place to stay that is a credit to her. Thank you for everything Constanca and hopefully we will return in the future.

The house is located by the sea (the beach is less than a 5-minute walk away) and overlooks a garden. We had a lovely stay there and were able to easily visit the surroundings (Gaia, Aveiro, Porto). Special mention for Hugo who is very available and provides good advice.

We just loved Miguel's place. Plenty of light and space with everything you would want in accomodation. Miguels place has character, such an unique building and location. It was very easy to walk to all the major sites from his place. He has a fantastic guide written out , so very easy to know where to go and what to see. The white towels and crisp bed linen were to a high standard. We slept so well. Plenty of hot water. Miguel was very helpful and we would recommend staying with him.

We had a very comfortable stay in Porto. The apartment was perfect for our 4 small children with plenty of beds and space. It was very walkable to the tram and cafe and into town along the river. It was very easy as a base to explore. Street parking was not difficult to find (for free). Highly recommend.

Loved staying here. Miguel’s information and local support made our stay brilliant. He also helped us with a recommendation for a kayak trip that we really enjoyed. Would stay again if in Porto.

Very welcoming hosts who were responsive to leave us the place early. Compliant with photos. Easily accessible from the city center on foot. Recommended!

We were there for a few nights and liked the stay very much. We walked to the beach often and liked how close it is to Porto. Joaquim helped us with everything we asked for!

Great location, good sized living and sleeping areas, all we needed for a great stay.

Beautiful, massive unit with tonnes of amazing natural light and ocean views. Very comfortable bed and living areas which were perfect for relaxing after a long day. Big kitchen with everything you could need for a meal any size. Ample parking for your vehicle right outside the entrance door. While Gaia and this location in particular is not “Porto” we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we were visiting. The drive from here to the porto old town and city centre can be done in under 15 minutes snd it’s very easy to come and go. This location feels so much less stressful than the busy, tough to navigate streets of Porto. Tonnes of restaurants and a grocery story within a walk or drive, great ocean walk right out front of the door.

All great. Sónia was super friendly and cozy.

Great stay! Host was communicative and flexible. Location is very convenient. Clean and as described.

We had a great time. The accommodation is in a great location. We recommend it.

My father and I have been travelling for three weeks in Europe and Fred's place was by far the most special. The location is excellent, super safe and quiet neighbourhood with lots of great restaurants and an amazing supermarket less than 5 min walk away. Getting to the historic center of Porto was very very easy with Uber, the most we paid to get to the best parts of Porto (museums, sightseeing, etc.) was 7.5 Euros at the most. The apartment we stayed in was excellent, everything was very modern and Fred thinks of absolutely everything that you would need to feel right at home. Both our beds were very comfortable and the shower/bathroom was super nice. My father and I fell in love with Porto and when we return we will do everything we can to stay at Fred's place, it is that good! Fred gave us sooo much great information about excellent places to eat, do laundry (directly across the street!), grocery shop and sightsee. Fred is an amazing person and we feel very lucky to have met him!

A beautiful Villa with a nice pool and barbecue outside we all love it we are definitely coming back again. Highly recommended.
