Student at home is an amazing platform for finding accommodation for a semester or a year in Porto. Not only, they respond quickly to all of your questions and address all of your concerns, but they also make sure every tenant feels at home on the very first day. I am extremely happy to have had the chance to spend a semester in Porto in one of the flats at Boavista Roundabout. I had amazing roommates and a phenomenal experience all thanks to Simona and Jose and their help throughout the semester.

An absolutely wonderful experience!

I highly recommend Student at Home! Simona has been incredibly helpful from the very beginning. She always replies almost immediately and is willing to help with absolutely anything. During the booking process, she patiently answered all of our questions, and the move-in process went perfectly. And whenever something is broken or needs fixing at the accommodation, we just message José and he quickly takes care of it. Simona and José are a super reliable team, and we couldn't be happier with their service!

Honest review

After weeks of searching for a flat in Porto, I finally found Student at Home on Facebook and I felt like finally! A page to help students to find accommodation in Porto(which is not easy at all!) Simona was very friendly, respond quickly and this made me feel safe. I recommend the website for all students who want to study in Porto!

Thank you so much for your review and for sharing your experience! 🧡

Finding a room in Porto can sometimes feel like trying to grab the last pastel de nata before someone else does 😅 The demand moves fast, and we try to be transparent about timings so students don’t miss out on a good option.

That said, we completely understand that it can feel a bit intense, especially when you’re making decisions from another country. We truly appreciate your feedback and will always look for ways to make the process feel clearer and more comfortable.

We’re really happy you had a positive overall experience, and we wish you an amazing time ahead! ✨

Very positive experience

I highly recommend this platform, it is safe and trustworthy. The communication is very quick and all my questions were answered with care. Though simple, the website is straightforward and has sufficient amount of flats with descriptions to choose from based on your preffered location or budget. They help you with everything throughout the whole process and it is reassuring not to have to deal with finding an acommodation on your own.

A Smooth, Fair, and Student-Friendly Accommodation Experience

I have a very positive experience from the very beginning. Everything went smoothly, and the whole process felt clear and well organized.
Simona was especially amazing to communicate with — she always replied very quickly, provided clear instructions, and genuinely tried to help me with anything I needed. I never felt confused or left without information, which made the whole experience much less stressful, especially as a student looking for housing.
I honestly cannot complain about anything. The company is fair, reliable, and transparent in their communication. I felt supported throughout the entire process, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind.
I would definitely recommend them to other students who are searching for accommodation and want a smooth, trustworthy experience.

Student at Home is a great site for getting housing for my Erasmus time in Porto. I didn't want to hassle with private homeowners with the chance of being scammed; student at home is legit and is essentially a middle man for getting a place to stay. Simona communicates clearly and swiftly, which is great for confidence in the entire process. I would recommend it surely. Thanks Simona.

Best accommodation service in Porto

Simona is extremely helpful with getting you a place in Porto. I reached out and we discussed accommodation via email (she is very prompt with her responses and did I mention helpful?). I asked a thousand questions because I was and still am a very skeptical person, she patiently answered all my questions and helped me find a place that meets all my needs honestly. I would always recommend StudentAtHome if you're an Erasmus student or even a degree seeking international student. Even if you're not sure, just reach out, they'll help you with as much as they possibly can. The service is definitely one of a kind and I cannot recommend it enough.

Really nice experience

The booking process for the room was really easy and also straightforward. I just had to write a mail to Simona to get a list of vacant rooms.

The communication itself was also nice. Simona answered really fast and could always help me with all my questions regarding the room and the booking process.
