The apartment had everything that you will need for a stay in Porto. It was easy to get to from the airport on the metro. Then a short walk of 5 to 10 minutes. Close to supermarkets and all sights are easy to walk to. Railway station was 10 minutes walk away. Staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly. Very good contact before arrival. The room was very clean and extremely comfortable and very safe (solo female traveller). Great stay and would recommend this apartment.

Location is so good. Pretty easy to access main shopping street, restaurants and cafes. Though sometimes there is some noise because the location is too close with the road, it is still satisfying place to visit

Good apartments. Comfortable and with good location (not the best, but good enough). The only downside is that we had a 4th floor room, with no elevator, so I recommend you travel light. Would stay here again.

Incredible unit in a very walkable part of town with everything we could have wanted. The space was beautiful, with a large and comfortable kitchen/ living area and full bath downstairs and two nice bedrooms upstairs (one ensuite). An amazing value and would stay again.

Fit for our stay

We liked our stay there, it´s well equipped and decorated appartment with all we needed in bathroom and kitchen (we didn´t cook). Location is just right to be still relatively quiet, but very close to the city center. Also communication with the host was seemless, just the indication of the accomodation location on the street could be a bit more obvious.

Kitchen well supplied. Office staff very helpful. There wasnt a separate bedroom, rather half wall separation. We liked the garden area. Hardly any storage for clothes etc. Needs some wall hooks, shelves & better sized closet for guests staying a few days. Very centrally located area for restaurants, groceries etc.

Everything was great, centrally located, clean and helpful friendly staff and a very nice roomy apartment. It would have been perfect if the front door to the building locked. We reported it twice and were told it was being fixed but it wasn’t during our 4 days. Apart from that I would definitely recommend for any stay in Porto.
