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!

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.

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.

Great place. Good location

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!

Overall very nice apartment, excellent view of the city and river, comfortable, and very well located. Only a few issues, like stained chairs, couple plates chipped, and some cutlery missing. Would need a Nespresso coffee maker to replace the older filter coffee maker.

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!
