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!

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.

This was a fantastic place. My son stayed above me and his apartment was even better than mine. The apartment had minimal street noise. It was near everything.

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.

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!

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!

Great studio apartment with facilities such as fridge and freezer, electric cooker with utensils, microwave, iron, hair dryer, filtered coffee machine, kettle, toaster. The TV is good and there is a small table with 2 chairs. The bathroom is large with a walk in shower which has very good water pressure and hot water. The views are what make this place worth it as you can see the river Luis bridge and Gaia. It's in a great location on a small side street which is very quiet but just a minute walk to restaurants and bakeries. The whole building is clean and there eis a lift as well. We arrived early and made our way to the office to leave our luggage until check-in time only to find that the room was ready for us, which was a nice bonus. I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay again!
