    Our stay at Clara’s home was nothing short of exceptional, far beyond 5 stars! From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with genuine warmth, gave us a thoughtful house tour, and even surprised us with a delicious homemade cake and a bottle of port wine.Clara went above and beyond as a host throughout our stay. She arranged a fantastic walking tour for us and even helped us communicate with the guide when our Uber made us late. She also secured dinner reservations at a hidden gem of a fado restaurant that we would have never found on our own which was an unforgettable highlight of our trip.Her hospitality, attention to detail, and personal touches made us feel so welcome and cared for. We’ve stayed in many rentals, but Clara truly sets the gold standard for hosting. We would return in a heartbeat and recommend her place to anyone looking for an extraordinary stay.

    What an excellent location for our stay in Porto. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. She made sure that we were taken care of during our trip. Not just in the beginning when she greeted us with port and cake but throughout our trip. With this being the kids first international trip, this was very helpful even if we didn't need anything at the time. We would stay here again and again if we are in the area again. Thanks for the best porto experience, cheers!

    What a perfect introduction to Portugal! Thank you for making your wonderful home available to us. We really appreciated the warm welcome, the apple cake and port at check in. And thank you for the many recommendations – for where to eat, what to see and where to shop were very much appreciated. The highlight was the Fado restaurant that you guided us to, which was memorable in more ways than one. As for your home, it is such a gem! The combination of old-world charm and witty and creative touches (like the lamps!) really made for a memorable experience. We have stayed at many rental apartments around the world, and this is not one that we will forget!

    Clara was very kind to meet us at her home upon our arrival. Also, she treated us with her delicious homemade cake together with port. Clara has a lovely historic house with all the modern features and conveniences.

    An excellent location for a stay in Porto. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. We were welcomed to her home with a fresh baked cake and some Port. We will look to stay here again for our next trip to Porto.

    Property is great and as advertised. Host was awesome and very accomodating. I would only add that this is in Gaia and a bit of a walk to Porto. It was not a big deal for us and it’s still very nice. But, it could be something to consider for some people. We would defiantly stay here again if ever back in the area.

    I cannot possibly say enough. Just book this place and see for yourself. Clara is the most amazing host I have ever encountered. Met us at the property ready with a cake and port wine. House is indescribable. Decorated beautifully with a touch a whimsy. Spacious, spotless, and serene. Walkable to downtown. If I could come every year, I surely would!! The absolute best!

    We had a great stay at Clara's home. Clara was amazing with communication! She was able to give suggestions on so many things in the area! She even booked a Douro Valley tour for us and had a gluten free cake waiting for us when we arrived. The home is very full of character and is decorated so nicely. From this location we were able to go on day trips to Douro Valley and Aveiro and also explored Porto.

    The house was very nice with lots of space and great views of Porto. It is located just across the river. It is about a 10 minute walk down to old town, which has restaurants and shops. A quick walk across the bridge from old town and you are in the heart of Porto. There is a great bakery just up the street from the house that stopped at every morning. There are also local places nearby for Fado and dinner. Great place. Highly recommended.
