You will be staying in my 2 bedroom flat on a sleepy street in Campanha. Only a short 12 minute walk (or a quick Uber if you have a fair bit of luggage) from Campanha's Metro and Coach Station. You will also be a 12 minute walk from Estádio do Dragão Metro, home of our football team Porto!
At Praça da Corujeira you will find all the shops you need. You might be pleasantly surprised by the quality of our local bakeries — I counted 5 within a 10 minute walk and still can't make up my mind about which one makes the best torrada com manteiga (buttery toast).
The area is semi-rural. By that I mean you will wake up to church bells, the sound of roosters crowing, and a blissful sunrise from the east-facing balcony. From there you will see a lot of greenery spread over my neighbour's allotments, where they grow their fruit and vegetables. You will also spot the Igreja de Campanha and its cemetery — less creepy than it sounds, I promise.
The flat is spacious, with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The bedrooms are at garden level, cool and quiet, with colourful walls and white furniture that keep things feeling bright and fresh.
At the bottom of the road you have access to the Quinta de Bonjoia, a property built in 1759 and now open to the public, with Camellia gardens, Eucalyptus woodland, and a basketball court and football pitch.
A 20 minute walk will take you to Parque Oriental, which leads to the Rotunda do Freixo and the banks of the River Douro. Head east and you'll find the Museu da Imprensa, the Palácio do Freixo, riverside workout stations, cafes, restaurants, and the Praia Fluvial de Gramido. Head west along the marginal — a lovely 2 mile walk — and you'll reach the iconic bridges that make this city so special, including the Ponte Dom Luís, and the historic riverside quarter of Ribeira.
The heart of the flat is the front room: a king-size sofa, an abundance of natural light, and views to die for. You will also enjoy a bright kitchen equipped with a brand new fridge and washing machine.
Booking: rent is paid one month in advance through the platform. At check-in, a security deposit and one further month's rent are due. Please include your age and occupation when sending a booking request or message — I look forward to hearing from you!

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
