We had an excellent stay. Outstanding host who personally met with us when we checked in and offered terrific advice on restaurants, how to get around the city, bars, and so much more. Everything he suggested was top notch. There was everything we needed in the unit. Grocery store and bakery within less than few minutes walk. The place was so relaxing with the gentle sound of the water. I loved the fish. The location was ideal and having a place to park our car made it even easier. The only downside was a small bathroom, but that wouldnā€™t distract us from staying again.

We had an outstanding stay. This place has everything. You wonā€™t be disappointed. Garden, patio, wine, fruit! Fully equipped kitchen including staples like oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. The bathroom was well stocked as well. Very comfortable! Thanks Manuela for all the great recommendations. We ate like kings and queens!

Porto Visit September 2024

Everything about our stay in this apartment met our expectations. The apartment is tastefully furnished, comfortable, safe and secure and well equipped. It is located in a quiet neighborhood and ideally positioned for exploring Porto. A nearby metro stop makes it easy to get around the city and Uber rides were easy to arrange and use. The host was friendly and very helpful suggesting things to do and places to see. We enjoyed our stay and we would definitely stay with this host again.

We loved this Garden Getaway

Garden House was a perfect place for our stay in Porto. Itā€™s in a neighborhood with tree-lined streets just east of Porto city center. You can reach most things in the city center within a 10-15 minute walk and the riverfront area in about 20-30 minutes depending on the route you take. That said, there are plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes, and groceries near Garden House that we opted for when we wanted to stay close by. We loved walking right around the corner to a bakery called Chicana- they had the best brioche croissants.As for Garden House- the property provides a serene escape from the bustling tourist areas. The floor-to-ceiling windows make the space feel encapsulated in a rich garden with fish ponds. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, the comfortable sitting areas, and the houseā€™s unique aesthetic and design. The hosts are incredibly kind people and gave us several recommendations of restaurants to try and things to see.

An oasis during Porto visit

Jorge is an amazing host who went above and beyond to help us enjoy our time in Porto. I admired structural evidence of his experience as a professional architect in the renovated tiny house - it's small but feature packed. The decorations inside reflect his passion as restorer of classic items (cars, lamps, furniture). Open the doors and you'll step out to an oasis of tropical plants, trees, and water features. The place provides a special environment for mental and physical rest after a full day of exploring Porto! The house is within easy walking distance of the city center with many new and diverse restaurants nearby. You can tell that Jorge is proud of his city and he eagerly shared how to explore Porto. He marked up a paper map with a local's perspective on places we might like to visit, where to eat, and how to get there. That was really valuable to make the most of our time and energy while we were out and about. Lastly, the Garden House is full of amenities and clean - absurdly clean. The level of care and effort required to make that a repeated experience guest after guest is stunning and reflects the host's thoughtfulness for his guests. I will definitely return for future stays at the Garden House.

Wonderful Place

Manuela and Jorge are excellent hosts. They gave us the warmest welcome we have ever had at a VRBO with lots of information about what to do in Porto. Great location, easy walk into city centre and lots of places to eat and drink in the area. We would definitely return.

Unique Private accomodation

Location is good with many of the main sites within a 20 - 30 minute walk. Nice to have garage parking but we rarely took the car out. Bed was great, but furniture (chairs/couch) need to be replaced/updated. Shower is quite tight, so if you're a large person you're not going to enjoy that. SItting outside in your own private garden was a great way to end the day. Had problems with the washer, but there's a laundry mat within a block. Be sure to check out the cemetery just south west of the apartment - a beautiful, intriguing experience. Would be tight for more than one couple, but Jorge has a 3 bed accomodation in the same yard that I would suggest looking at.

Fremragende ophold

Vi er netop kommet hjem fra 8 fantastiske dage i Porto. Vi fandt vores bolig pĆ„ VRBO og alt har fungeret. Vi har i hele forlĆøbet modtaget en fremragende service fra udlejer - Manuela og Jorge. De har meget venligt hjulpet med oplevelser, restauranter og andre gode rĆ„d. Selve boligen er en oplevelse i sig selv. Ikke stor, men havde ALT hvad vi skulle bruge. Haven var fantastisk og huset lĆ„ meget centralt i et dejligt fredeligt kvarter. Alt var velholdt, pƦnt og rent og fungerede optimalt. Vi er 120% tilfredse og kan absolut anbefale denne bolig (og udlejer). TAK.

Amazing tranquility!

Jorgeā€™s property is just perfect! Everything you need for a great stay. The patio area with coy ponds are so wonderful for a morning coffee. The kitchen is well equipped. The place is small but incredibly functional. Location is perfect- just a short walk to plenty of great restaurants. Easy 10-15 minute walk to historical Porto. Jorge was so helpful with directions and even restaurant reservations. We will return !

Perfect for short stay in Porto

The Garden House is a compact space where everything you could need has been thought of. It was comfortable and convenient for 2 people, and is visually pleasing both inside and out, with a sitting area in the walled-in garden and Koi ponds. The accommodations were spotlessly clean, and convenient to walking the historic district of Porto, the metro, groceries and the river. Jorge was a perfect host and kindly provided a few extras and also recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend!

Lovely vacation rental!

My husband and I stayed here for eleven days and were very happy that we chose this vacation rental. We needed a place to park our rented car so it was wonderful to have a garage. The apartment is quite unique. It is actually underneath the garage, so a few steps below street level. However, descending the stairs from the garage one finds oneself in a small oasis of a garden complete with two koi ponds. It was a delight to open the blinds each morning and have this lovely garden in front of us. The apartment itself is interesting and it is apparent that Jorge has exercised his creativity in its construction. It is not the usual utilitarian IKEA furnished condo. It has been made to use the space very cleverly and furnished with ā€œrealā€ furniture. It is true that the shower is tiny, but the water is hot and plentiful. We used the clothes washer, stove, oven and dishwasher with no problem. We appreciated that the apartment was cleaned and linens changed midway through our stay. The apartment is away from the busy old city, and it was in a very quiet location. The market at the end of the street was very handy. The tourist Centre of the old city was within a half hour walk, but we found that taxis in Porto are very reasonable and used them often. Jorge returned our damage deposit very promptly and was quick to answer our emails. All in all, a very happy experience!

Wundervoll

Manuela und Jorge sind entzĆ¼ckend. Das Apartment war perfekt fĆ¼r uns. Lage, Ausstattung und Ambiente sind vorzĆ¼glich. Porto ist Klasse. Aber versuchen Sie mal ein passendes MetroTicket am Automaten zu kaufen. Abenteuer. Als Berliner denkt man, man kƤme Ć¼berall zurecht. Ohne die Hilfe des freundluchen Personals neben dem Automaten wƤre man aufgeschmissen. ZurĆ¼ck in der Oase ist das dann aber vergessen. 5 Sterne mit Blumengirlande Jochen
