When looking for your room, there are certain considerations to take into account and we will give you some tips on what to look for.

To begin with, like in all real estate decisions, the location should be your first thought that comes to mind when thinking about renting a room.

When choosing Porto as your destination, there are some differences to consider. For instance, some party animals will want to live close to the center where all the action and night life goes on. However, when choosing a place downtown, expect the place to be older, noisier, and more expensive. Should you pay premium price just to be close to the action?

Fortunately Porto, is a big, but small city. You can get from one end of town to the other, depending on the hour, in 15 minutes, if you go through city streets. Yet, Porto is big enough to feel that you are in one of the most sought out Euro cities, at the moment, for both tourists and students.

The other option is to seek out a place near the university as that will be your place of "work". However, if you want to stay next to the university section of Porto, called the "Polo Universitário", expect to also pay higher rents. But here it may be justifiable, especially to your parents, that you want to be near the university to save on time and transportation, which is acceptable to the sponsoring parents. Here we offer the Pires de Lima Home and Diogo Cão Home, both located nearby and with various means of transportation lines.

Finally we have the residencial areas of Foz do Douro and Matosinhos Sul, which are where most Porto (Portuenses) people want to live. It is the upscale part of Porto, near the beaches, and U. Catolica. Here we offer the Tanger Home, which is best suited for students from Catolica, where perhaps 80% of the students are for this university.

Other things should be considered, such as the bills, are they included? If not, how is the calculation made? Do I have to pay for my colleagues when I am away? They´re always here, why should I pay an equal amount? How about security deposit? Will the landlord try stiffing me when I leave with fake bills? Not with us, we don't take security deposits. Why should we? If we all play by the rules, then things should run smoothly. It's only when people start to sway away from the rules is when things begin to veer off course.
