Excellent location and room very well equipped for the size. The bed, air con and shower were all excellent. Plugs well appointed and room/ building was very clean. We were only provided 1/2 toilet roll but that was the only comment. Check in was very smooth. Just be prepared to walk 5mins uphill with your case. I probably only found this noteworthy as we travelled during a heatwave where it was 39 degrees, just thought worth noting.

The apartment was very inviting in a historic building that had been tastefully renovated bringing the charm of old and new together. The location is in a great spot close to the core of the old town but in a quiet area at night. Our host “madeleine “ was very pleasant and helpful. She provided an excellent overview of the property and the local area. The apartment was fully stocked with all the items to make our stay comfortable. I would highly recommend this unit for a couple to enjoy there time in Porto. We enjoyed our stay and wished we had stayed longer. Thank you for your hospitality.

The views were breath taking! The home was perfect for our visit. It had everything we needed. Location was great, beds were perfect, I didn’t move all night they were perfect. Cleanliness was spot on. The staff were all friendly and professional. We would highly recommend this place. We will be back again. We loved it!

Positives: fabulous shower and comfortable bed, both important qualities in a stay. Also, lovely atmosphere with stone walls and the kitchen is nice. Negatives: 1)kitchen supplies adequate but wish had been more comprehensive. Don’t expect any pantry staples like salt/pepper 2)Only three hangers in closet 3) not enough towels for a 6-night stay—only one kitchen towel/2 sets each bathroom towels—(it turns out you are asked to pay more for clean replacement towels)…this would not be a problem if we had a washer/dryer or there were at least towel racks to allow the towels to dry, but there are only hooks so they don’t dry quickly. We would have been better off staying for 2-3 nights then moving elsewhere. They should encourage longer stays by allowing fresh towels 4) uncomfortable chairs with the small table for dining. I think we’d have chosen and upgraded to a different room with a couch but it was unclear from the website what the room we chose would look like. In fact, 5) we chose a room with a view and we could only see the whisper of a water view. I’d have skipped the view for a washer in the room (or even in the building).

Beautifully renovated . Modern kitchenette with beautiful view from 3 rd Floor as per ad pic. Great location. Downhill walk to hop on hop off bus stop 12 and many riverfront restaurants. Taxi dropped us at the door as the office is several hundred meters away on cobblestone streets. Owner met us at the apartment and checked us in. Also arranged for car transport at airport and Taxi to next destination. Great stay

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!
