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.

La communication avec l'équipe était génial. Ils ont répondu à nos demandes dans un délai très court. L'appartement est propre et le balcon avec la vue sur le Douro était un gros coup de coeur pour nous. Définitivement un appartement que nous recommandons à Porto.

This property is brand new inside. The setup is functionally exceptional and decor is very tasteful. Everything is in walking distance from the property. We cannot say enough about this property and how much we love staying there. Next time in Porto, we definitely want to stay here again. Make sure you maintain it in this condition. You'll definitely have return customers.

Wij hadden een appartement op de 1e verdieping, je kan met de trap of lift, heel fijn! Heel mooi uitzicht richting de Douro. Het complex ligt vlakbij de douro en in het centrum. De weg waar het complex aan ligt is wel aardig steil, maar dat is in het centrum heel normaal.

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!

Overall very nice apartment, excellent view of the city and river, comfortable, and very well located. Only a few issues, like stained chairs, couple plates chipped, and some cutlery missing. Would need a Nespresso coffee maker to replace the older filter coffee maker.

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!
