Location, location, location!!! The apartment offered my family of four everything we needed. Host was very responsive and the balcony views were outstanding. Property was clean and comfortable. The location allowed us to thoroughly enjoy Porto by foot. Would happily stay again. Highly recommend.
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.
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.

Thanks Roozbeth!
Works in the city center have reduced the water pressure. The City hall confirmed it will be solved in a few days.
The host was wonderful. He was very responsive to all of my questions. We did have water pressure issues during our stay, but he responding to the issue immediately. While the issue was not resolved during our time there, I know they were trying to fix it. The apartment is in a great location. There could be more available in terms of kitchen needs. It would’ve nice to have more paper towels, etc. The upstairs master has a great view but there is not actual door to that room. However, the stairs only lead to it. There is not much cabinet storage in the master. Overall, we had a good stay and enjoyed the location!

Thanks!
Works on the water supply company caused some small water pressure issues on the whole Ribeira area. This is now totally solved!
The only thing was the shortage of toilet paper. Fantastic location and great apartment! Enjoyed views from the front balcony and the balcony upstairs.
As advertised! Beautiful living areas, comfy beds, great neighborhood . Easy to get to all the sights. Yet plenty to see right on the streets. And we felt safe inside and outside.
What a great place. Two separate en suites; one up and one down. Very spacious common areas with a nice sized kitchen. Spectacular view of the river and the bridge from the upstairs bedroom; lovely view of the Palace and green space from the main floor rooms. Just a block from the water and convenient to the Ribeira. Highly recommend. Very modern and updatd. Given the stairs (both from the entrance to the elevator and up to the second bedroom) would not recommend for small children or folks with mobility issues.
