Gustavo was a pleasure to meet and thoroughly explained everything to us upon our arrival at the property. We have not rented privately before. but would not hesitate to do it again. Cais das Pedras was a perfect way for us to see Porto after our Douro River cruise. The apartment was clean and well equipped and the bed was extremely comfortable. Thank you Gustavo.

Absolutely Excellent
Lovely apartment. Modern and fully equipped with everything you need to be comfortable and cook. 5 minute walk to major grocery store. Nice and dry, unlike a lot of the damp places in Porto. Gustavo was an excellent host. He checked in on me regularly to see if I needed anything, and offered helpful advice about where to go and what to see and eat in Porto. One of the best places I've ever stayed at. Obrigado!

Fantastic location!
Aside from an initial mishap, no fault of the host, my stay was amazing. Minor walk to center of old town, and several nice places to eat, drink and buy groceries, within 300 meters. The unit was very well appointed with all amenities including some coffee and juice.
Gustavo was amazing in helping me with big problem upon problem upon arrival, he went far above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of
