Porto: "ALIADOS APARTMENT" in OPORTO HISTORICAL CITY CENTER

This condo has been renovated and redecorated since the pictures were taken. The new bathroom is both pretty and very functional. The location is ideal. The staff was perfect.

The apartment was perfectly located, one street from the metro and in an area of shops, groceries and restaurants. Our hostess was fantastic and was instrumental in helping us get back on a quick trip to Lisbon for a passport problem. The bedroom is spacious and very quiet. We truly enjoyed our lodging and the beautiful town of Porto.

This was a nice place to stay however it is not as pictured at all. I don't know if they did renovating or just put us in another unit that was similar. That being said it was a great place. Location wasnt bad it was all that was needed. The host met us at the apartment and was kind and very helpful with local information. The A/C worked great which is very important to us. There was some construction that we heard and there were very noisy birds nearby. Overall I would still recommend this place to someone but make sure you get updated pictures before you go so you know what to expect.

We enjoyed our apartment with Boutique Rentals in Porto. Second floor location (has elevator) with views to the street in front and to the gardens in the rear. The apartment is large with an in-line design, combines L- shape living area and kitchen at the front, hallway-utility room (washer, vacuum, drying rack) -bathroom in the middle and large bedroom at the rear. Lots of storage cabinets. Joana, the landlady provided numerous landmarks to visit and experience during our arrival.

Great location, about 100 meters from the Trindade Metro and an easy walk to the city center. A large super market just around the corner. Tourist office just steps beyond the supermarket. Movie theater nearby, as are many restaurants.

Only wish was for a regular coffee maker or a coffee press, as one observes the food cabinet was full of bags of various brands of coffee. The single-cup used with plastic coffee pods are pricey. So a coffee press along with the existing electric water heater pot would be of help.

We arrived earlier that expected but Joana was there in a short time to let us in, show us around the suite and provide a lot of great ideas of where to dine in that area of Porto, what to see, etc. It was a great place to be for doing our travels on foot or by public transportation! We would highly recommend this city and apartment for all visitors!
