Leça do Balio Monastery

Perfect Stay in the Heart of Porto! I had a fantastic stay at this apartment and cannot recommend it enough. Here are a few reasons why this is the perfect base for your trip: Unbeatable Location: You are right in the center of everything! It is directly across from the iconic Bolhão Market and surrounded by several grocery stores, making it incredibly easy to grab fresh food or supplies. Ultimate Convenience: The Bolhão Metro station entrance is literally just outside the main door. This made my trip to and from the airport completely stress-free. Spotless Interiors: Whoever is cleaning these apartments deserves a medal! It was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Great Amenities: The kitchenette is fully stocked with all the cooking essentials you might need, and having a Nespresso machine for a quick morning coffee was a wonderful touch. Proactive Service: The reception desk is very attentive and constantly checks in to ensure you have everything you need. Don’t be surprised when you receive a WhatsApp message before and during your stay—they are just being helpful! Overall, a 10/10 experience.

The apartment was clean, organized and comfortable. The water pressure was weak in the shower. The shower space was small. The kitchen was well equipped. The location was right in the river and close to restaurants and shops. The door to the 3rd floor apartment was tricky to lock and open. The stairs seemed a bit treacherous but maybe that’s fine for Europe. The views of the river were amazing.
