Review from one of first guests published in another website,

«From the moment we stepped into Heart Stories apartment, we were blown away. This place is on par with luxury boutique hotels in Paris and New York complete with a decanter of port wine overlooking the river - and it’s in the most stunning location in central Porto with an INCREDIBLE view of the Douro river right from your window! It is a place of peace, relaxation and luxury which still feels like home, a true slice of heaven! Isabel was the best host I’ve ever worked with. She didn’t just give you the keys and run; she truly guided us through our experience in Porto by providing ample recommendations and answering questions quickly. She made us feel so at home, it brought the experience to a whole other level! Any and all would be privileged to have a stay at Heart Stories, we are already planning our next trip back!...»

Kudos to Isobel’s support team
We agree with everything previous reviewers have said about Isabel’s attentiveness. Her recommendations for a personal 3 hour Tour of Porto and a personal All day Tour of the Douro Valley were excellent. Interestingly the two guides both regarded her highly as did the two taxi drivers that she arranged for us for transportation to and from the airport. She doesn’t suffer fools gladly. We were particularly worried about the 3:00 am pick-up. Would he actually arrive ? This was a needless concern. He was at the door on time. There is an old saying about “there being a good man or woman behind every successful man or woman”. In Isobel’s case i would say she has a very competent group of outside sources behind her.

Two nights in Porto
Isabel was a fantastic host, met us at the property with a map and suggestions for places to go and things to do, property was well kept and very clean. One word of warning, the property is on quite a steep hill, so those ith a large amount of luggage and/or those not comfortable with hills should be careful.

Amazing Host
My wife and I chose this place based on reviews of not only the property but even more so based on the five star reviews of the owner / host. This is the first VRBO I have stayed at where the place and the reviews did not come close to how great this place is and how amazing the host is. Isabel went above and beyond in all aspects. She was responsive and full of information. Isabel helped to arrange an incredible marriage proposal that exceeded anything that I could have arranged on my own. Isabel is proud of her city and is eager to share it with you. She has extensive local knowledge, and business connections to help you have the greatest experience in Porto and the local areas.

Beautiful city - great apartment!
From the moment we first contacted Isabel, it was obvious she loved both Porto and her home. She was very clear in her communications with us and built up our expectations - she did not disappoint! Porto has a lot to offer in terms of history, architecture, landscape etc and Isabel provided many useful suggestions re tours, sites and restaurants. We found her home to be very clean and comfortable. As others have noted while it is conveniently located to major sites, her home is in a quiet area of town. Isabel provided useful parking suggestions and we were able to secure a spot within minutes of the apartment. We look forward to visiting Porto in the future and hopefully able to again enjoy the hospitality of Isabel.

Paradise in Porto
Puerto was the first city we visited during our trip to Portugal. It could not have been a better experience, and it was made much richer due to the care and attentiveness of our host, Isabel. The home was beautiful, clean, and located precisely where we had hoped.—close to the center of activities, yet in a peaceful neighborhood. If you plan to visit, Porto, you will not go wrong by choosing this property, and working with Isabel, a true delight.

Great stay in Porto
Our stay at this spot in Porto was basically perfect. My girl and I spent two weeks in Europe, traveling to Porto, Lisbon, Braga, Cintra, Positano, Amalfi, Capri, Pompeii, and we had the best time in Porto! Isabel was an excellent host and was a key reason why our stay was so enjoyable; she met us on the first day and spent quite some time pointing out several things to do in the area which were all great recommendations. For the property itself, there's really too many positive things to write about the spot; the size and layout, the view, the location and surrounding area, the amenities, it was really excellent all around. Now, while we do rate this spot 5/5 stars and would absolutely go back, there are a couple minor things to keep in mind. First thing - the upstairs neighbor made a bit of noise late at night...I'm talking 1AMish. A bit annoying, but nothing that can't be solved. Second, access to the spot is down a very long and very narrow road...so if there's anything blocking your Uber or whatever, it could be delayed a long time. So just slot in an extra 30 minutes for that if it's time sensitive (airport, train, dinner reservation if you're not walking). Neither of these are a big deal at all, and we highly recommend staying here!!
