Every time you rent through Flatio, you're automatically covered by our StayProtection package.
By booking this property, you'll also enjoy extended protection in the form of Stay Benefits - a unique offering backed by AXA! Here's what such packaging includes:
Sofia usually responds to messages within 9 hour .
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.
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 Flatio, 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 Flatio.
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 Flatio 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.
In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!
If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the landlord can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.
You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.
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 Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).

The flat is great as well. It's very spacious compared to other places we looked at, which is nice when you have a long-term stay. It was great to have spaces for our kids to go off and read or play and not feel like we're all squished together. The kitchen is a great size and has everything you need and the laundry is very helpful.
We loved the location, as it's 5-10 mins by Uber/Bolt to the beaches of Foz do Douro or Matosinhos, 10 mins across the bridge to Gaia and 10-15 mins to central Porto. The area is close to groceries and cafes and people around the neighbourhood were very friendly.
Probably the only negative - and it's hardly a negative - is that the Serralves Park is an enclosed park that requires payment to access. It was very lovely and we did a night walk through it with a light show. There are also museums throughout the park that you can pay to visit. But with younger kids, we would've preferred an open park with a playground that we could visit frequently. But those types of parks aren't too far away either so it wasn't a big deal.
Overall, the flat made for a perfect home base to retreat to and chill out. It was important to us to not only do the touristy things and burn ourselves out, but have time to live like a local would, make meals at home, relax and play a game, etc. This place was just right in giving us that peaceful, home-like setting. I would absolutely stay here again and I can't recommend it enough.
I would describe it as a middle-to-upper-middle class suburb with plenty of large, beautiful houses and mid-rise apartments. There aren't tons of amenities, but there are enough: 2-3 grocery stores within a 10-15 minute walk, a handful of cafes and restaurants and a pharmacy all within a few minutes. As mentioned above, just note that the large park near the property is a walled pay-to-visit type of park with plenty to do inside but not just a casual daily stroll kind of park.
We really liked Lareira, which is just around the corner. We loved Matosinhos on a hot day, but also really liked the southern part of Foz do Douro, with its great restaurants, mini-golf course and lighthouse area with crashing waves. There's also a great area of Foz, called Praia do Homem do Leme which has a fun playground, beach and restaurants.
Es un barrio muy lindo, bastante residencial y cerca a los sitios de interés en Porto
El parque público de la ciudad no está muy lejos y es muy lindo así como las construcciones a orillas de la playa
