We had a great stay in Porto, this property made it complete. The view from the balcony is fantastic. In the perfect location, and close to what we wanted to see.

What an absolutely wonderful stay in beautiful Porto! We fell in love with this city, and our apartment made the experience even more special. The breathtaking views of the Douro River from our balcony were truly unforgettable. We loved relaxing outside and taking in the scenery. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and a perfect home base for exploring Porto’s charming streets, restaurants, shops, and attractions. The location was fantastic, allowing us to experience so much of what this beautiful city has to offer. We made incredible memories here and were genuinely sad to leave. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Porto and would happily stay here again!

Few issues, only one set of keys and traveling as two couples you always had to go out or back as a group, no hand rail on the stays just slots in the wall, very poorly lit the upstairs bedroom closet was in the back and pitch black no matter the tins of day. Had to buy a flashlight.

The apartment was great and had everything we needed. The upstairs bed was comfortable, but the downstairs one wasn’t great. The upstairs bathroom also had occasional issues with water pressure but we just showered downstairs where it wasn’t ever an issue. All in all would recommend and would stay again.

What a beautiful place in Porto! The location was perfect and the accommodation was quite comfortable and well-stocked. The unit was well-stocked for most of our needs. Note that the “oven” is small and is a multipurpose microwave/oven. You can use it like an oven but it is small and limited to certain types of cookware. I had planned some baking projects but they were not feasible in the oven that was there. It was a small disappointment but did not affect our stay or the overall functionality of the apartment. The owner was very responsive to any needs that arose during the stay. He was easy to communicate with and quite helpful. I will definitely stay again if I am back in beautiful Porto!

We had a fantastic week in Porto and Marc’s place had a lot to do with it. First of all, the location couldn’t have been better. We were so central to everything that our average walk was only 20 minutes and the longest was 45. I was a bit concerned about the hills in Porto, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The apartment was perfect for two couples! Comfortable beds, lots of closet space, great kitchen and a perfect table to play some bridge.

Location is great. Short walk to many good shops, restaurants etc. Apartment is large and was great for two couples. Very clean and comfortable. Elevator is a bonus. Being on the top floor the river view is awesome. A larger coffee maker would have been appreciated but not really an issue. We enjoyed our stay.

Marc is an excellent host. He answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The place is ideal located within walking distance to the river and restaurants and shops. The view from the living room overlooking the town square is amazing. The river view from the bedroom balcony was breathtaking. If you are looking for a place that is close to the Porto wine makers you need to stay here. When I come back to Porto I will definitely look at staying here. Thanks Marc for a great experience in Porto.

Awesome location! Perfect location for wandering around Porto & the Douro River front. Apartment was clean & bed upstairs was comfortable. Downstairs bed was ok but a bit hard/firm. Apartment is on the 5th floor with views from the balconies. (There's one level of stairs before you reach the elevator to the apartment. There's also stairs to the bedroom upstairs with the King size bed.) The balcony off that upstairs bedroom has great views of the Douro River. We enjoyed our stay & would definitely stay there again.

There were great views from both sides of the apartment. Water pressure on the top level was non existent so we used the bathroom downstairs which was not a big inconvenience.

Incredible views and great location. The water pressure was terrible. Water would literally stop flowing during showers multiple times. Regardless worth it for the incredible balcony overlooking the river.
