We enjoyed the view and location was great! Jorge was quick to respond with any questions. Older building stairs leading to apart are very narrow, high and dirty. Hard to take luggage up. Once in apartment was ok.

The view alone is worth the price. Great location with walking distance to attractions and the riverside walk. Owners are super kind with quick responses and the room was very clean. I'd not hesitate to book here again for my next visit to Porto.

This property was in a perfect location! The view was stunning, even on the first floor apartment. The bed was extremely comfortable. Loved everything about this place! The only downside was that the stairs did not seem renovated and that there was poor exchange/flow of air in the apartment. Would recommend this place without hesitation!!

Charming property in an excellent location walking distance to all the amenities and a great view of the river. Bed and pullout couch were comfortable, room was well stocked, good internet and water pressure, they were quick to respond to all my emails. They operate a bike store beside the property so we rented ebikes and biked along the waterfront which was a perfect way to spend a few hours. My only complaint is if you are staying on the 2nd or 3rd floor, it's a bit of a hike up the stairs with the suitcases but on the upside a great way to get exercise:)

This place is in the perfect location. It’s steps from the river and the view is everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Celeste is a great host. If we come back, we would be staying here again.

We enjoyed our stay at Douro Riverside Apartments. It had a lovely view and within walking distance to all the sights in Porto. Also nearby is the metro station. Communication with the owners was excellent and we had no trouble accessing our apartment. Thank you Celeste for a wonderful experience in Porto! We highly recommend Douro Riverside Apartments. Irene

Le meilleur logement possible sur Porto!!

Nous ne pouvions pas rêver mieux! Un logement super bien placé, du côté de toutes les quinta pour ceux qui aiment deguster les porto. A moins de 5 minutes à pied de la vieille ville de Porto. Et une vue extrorinaire sur la ville, depuis la fenêtre!! Incroyable!! Sans oublier que tout est présent dans l'appartement ! Il sent bon, c'est confortable, la literie est excellente (et je suis exigente sur ce point), c'est propre, joli! Bref! Parfait! Le seul micro bémol est que c'est un peu bruyant, en raison de travaux dans l'immeuble à côté et le tramway sur le pont de fer Luis I. Mais avec des bouchons d'oreilles, je n'ai rien entendu!!^^

ドウロ川と歴史地区を一望できる最高のロケーション。 朝昼晩と刻々と変わる景色のグラデーションを楽しめます。 施設入り口から部屋までの狭くて急勾配の階段は、スーツケースを持ち上がるのに大きなパワーが必要で、女性には多少難しい可能性を含みます。 ただそれ以上に素晴らしい景色が待っています。

I enjoyed my time here. Although there are pros and cons… Pros first: great location, fantastic post card view from the kitchen and bath area, spacious space, good communication with the host. Cons: no elevators with steep stairs. Carpet is truly nasty looking. I hope they would invest in better flooring. It would make a big difference in this space.
