Good apartment style room, spacious and clean. It was close to the Duoro river. Just a note of caution, if you dont have a taxi/Uber dropping you off, it is a bit of a challenge to carry the luggage uphill on the cobblestone path.

It’s very important to follow manager’s instructions properly if you’re doing a late check in. We did and all was fine. Reception is actually in a separate office a short walk away. The rental we had was modern, immaculate and well appointed, with a nice view facing toward the Douro and the historic part of town. The streets are steeper and narrow, but fine to get around. There are many excellent places to eat just steps away from the apartment. We had a fantastic evening at a great Fado restaurant a minute’s walk away, but you must book in advance to not miss out! Location was central to the historic district, we would stay again.

Incredible apartment! With an amazing view!

View from the apartment was incredible! Could sit in the balcony for hours! Good communication before hand! Easy to check in, and looked after our bags! Great location close to the main front, but far enough away to be quiet in the evenings! Thank you for such an amazing stay!

The perfect stay!

We loved this apartment in Porto! It is located in the center of the city with walking access to all the attractions. The apartment was extremely clean and that bathroom was impeccable. It has a very large shower with great water pressure and instantly hot water. The views from our 3rd floor apartment were incredible. The building maintained a mix of traditional Portuguese architecture and modern updates. The only thing we would change is we could hear everything the folks on the 4th floor above us did at all times of day. Other than that this apartment is perfect for a stay in Porto!

This place (apartment 4) was excellent and throughly recommended. It was spotless with lovely facilities and good views from the juliet balcony. Staff and communication was first class. Only down side with lovely old beam roofs is that you can hear people above if they have an early start!

Zentrale autentische Lage in der Nähe vom Fluss, der Bahn, den Sehenswürdigkeiten, Restaurants und kleineren Einkaufsmöglichkeiten - was will man mehr. Dieses Appartment (Nr1) hatte keinen Ausblick zum Fluss und auch keinen Balkon, hat uns aber nicht gestört. Ein Wäscheständer fehlte uns aber etwas.

The apartment was clean, big and very functional. Had everything we needed. The AC took a few minutes to kick in but worked well once on. It has utensils and cutlery for eating, but besides a container of salt there was nothing else. So make sure you have coffee, milk, sugar etc., which was not an issue as we purchased those at one of the small grocery stores. Be ready for LOTS of walking on steep, narrow streets and even narrower sidewalks, as this apartment is located in the historical part of Porto, but it added to the feel of being in Portugal. It was also a bit away from the other busy streets, which worked for us. The lady at the check in was just great, with lots of information on to what to do, see and places to eat at. They will also reserve transportation to the airport which was only 30 euros. Would return to this apartment if again in Porto.

Gostamos muito das instalações. Bem decorado, espaçoso, e bem localizado. Faltou um apoio para as malas no apartamento, mas não atrapalhou. O único problema mesmo foi que o Wi-Fi não funcionou. Sugiro também que forneçam uma ajuda aos hóspedes com o transporte das malas entre o escritório e o apartamento, pois a cidade tem muitas ladeiras e é difícil carregar malas.
