Beautiful Apartment in Porto!

Location was fantastic and the apartment is beautiful. Located just a short walk to the river front and in fact you can see the river from the living room windows. You look out over the park in front of the Palace. All the finishings in the apartment are first class. The A/C works perfectly and the apartment is very large and well layed out. Beds are comfortable and showers have great water pressure. Walking up to the shopping area of Porto is a steep hill but did it many times. You could take an Uber or taxi is needed. There is a cute local vendors market right across the street. Lunch or dinner at Adega de Sao Nicolau, Mistu, or Ter Rei Ro are fantasic. Easy walking distance. Elevator works perfectly too! Loved the apartment and would stay again for sure. The washer is a washer only no dryer but there is a drying rack.

Beautiful apartment in a great location

Isabel was extremely helpful from the moment I made the booking. Her recommendations were excellent and we booked a fantastic walking tour of Porto with Julio who was also excellent and extremely knowledgeable. I wish we could have stayed a lot longer! Thank you Isabel!

Best location in busy pedestrian neighborhood

Well appointed unit in the heart of the Flores shopping and pedestrian area. Close to Metro, train station, river front. Main market is one block away. Shops, bars, restaurants literally on the same street. 2 flights up - but there is a service elevator from floor 1 to floor 2. Very large space to get comfortable in.

Wonderful stay in Porto!

My two friends and I loved our stay in Porto thanks to Teresa’s help and Jamila’s apartment. The apartment was clean, cozy, and comfortable - plus the location couldn’t get any better. The welcome port and chocolate cake were an amazing touch after a long day of travel from the south of Portugal. Would recommend!

Beautifully decorated living area, with eye catching details and big windows that provide lots of natural light #cozy #delightful #lovelystay #airbnbporto

Perfect Spot

We had an awesome time here as family of four with two small children. The location was great with a lot to do and eat in the immediate area, along with a close (although steep) walk to other areas. Highly recommend taking a walk across the river to explore. We would totally recommend for another small family or couple.

Best location in Porto

The apartment was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. There were plenty of towels, and the cozy robes were nice to have. Barbara arranged transfers from the airport and met me at the door when I arrived. There was a large bowl of fresh fruit and welcome pastries. There was plenty of complimentary tea and coffee as well. We felt very welcome when we arrived. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were spacious. Barbara was prompt to answer any questions (via WhatsApp). The apartment was a 5 or 10 minute walk from everything you could need. 5 min to the Douro riverside, 10 min to the Old Town, minutes to many great restaurants, and there were 2 gelato places right downstairs. We would happily book this apartment again.
