Everything is within easy walking distance and the Trasca restaurant just 50m served excellent tapas. I would recommend it however be aware, there is NO information available in the hotel as the front desk is deserted, the duvet cover was stained which we advised them of on the first night and the next evening they finally saw our message and wanted to leave it until we left but finally agreed and someone came to change it. This is also the only place we have ever stayed that did not have any soap in the shower or sink, never mind shampoo. Those last items were annoyances but didn’t impact our stay. ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Logan 28 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service The apartments themselves are great, and it was a nice touch to have access to free hot and cold water on the floor. However, our experience was let down by a few key issues. With two nights left in our stay, I requested more toilet paper and received a response of “Sure!”—but nothing was ever delivered. We ended up having to go out and get our own. I followed up with the owner but never received a reply. Additionally, we were locked out one evening due to a malfunctioning keypad. When we called for help, we were told someone would arrive in 20 minutes. It ended up being closer to 35, and we only got in because another guest happened to be leaving. Overall, while the space itself was lovely, it would make a big difference to have more reliable communication and support—especially for essentials like toilet paper and basic access to the building. ##### Logan Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katie 14 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Beautiful room once I got in but very hard to get in the building. I arrived to Porto a few hours early via train and wanted to see if I could leave my bags with the property prior to check in. Unfortunately they don't send checkin information prior to checkin time, at least in my case. I was able to find another number to talk to someone on Whatsapp but I found the face to face interaction rather rude after dragging my luggage and myself uphill. My stay there once I got past checkin was fine and close to much of what downtown has to offer. I never had to get on a bus, however I did get a Bolt ride to the airport. My advice to this property is to double-down on its communication with its guests prior to arrival. Let folks know what to expect at least 6 hours before they are expected to arrive, especially if they want to operate without a front desk associate. It will make a world of difference for your business in happy returning guests. ##### Katie Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Laurie-Anne 8 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Le check-in se faisait en ligne directement et ils nous envoyaient les directives pour rentrer à l’intérieur. Ce qui est bien parce qu’on pouvait arriver à n’importe quelle heure. Par contre, la porte pour rentrer à l’intérieur n’ouvrait pas toujours et nous devions faire le code 2 fois pour y entrer. Tout est à proximité à la marche, beaucoup de restaurants au alentours. Le lit était confortable et la chambre était grande pour deux personnes. tout semble être nouvellement rénové. C’était propre. ##### Laurie-Anne Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ingrid 31 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Clean, location is convenient for uber accessible to the airport and does who can’t live without Starbucks is around the corner !

The apartment is long and slender , very cool interior. Amazing large shower and bathroom . The bed was comfortable..Very safe and clean. Good little kitchen area but only one wineglass, cutlery set, the bathroom wall socket was lose and only one toilet roll !!! also small cracks in the concrete floor with lose tile . Overall I like the apartment. We ate downstairs one night. Loved the food the chef was incredible and the floor staff lovely and the restuarant had a great vibe. ##### NIGEL Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### matthew 30 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The room was very nice and clean. Everything was good until night time. We had the room right above the restaurant and it was so loud. The restaurant closed at 12am but then for the next hour you could hear all the staff cleaning until around 1am. Location was really good but such a shame about the noise ##### matthew Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Emily 14 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location Nice spacious room in a perfect location - everything is within walking distance. Clear self check in instructions were sent ahead of our arrival, and it was easy to get in touch with the host if needed. Unfortunately the 1st floor room we stayed in was very noisy due to the restaurant downstairs - we expected a little noise but didn't expect the loud music until gone 1am every night. It would also have been nice to have more than 2 coffee capsules for the coffee machine and more than 1 mug, as we were 2 people staying for 4 nights. ##### Emily Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mahdieh 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Beware of extra large fees at check in Be aware of extra costs at check in. We booked the place for two nights and all the fees were aid upfront except for $13.05 left for the city tax. Upon the arrival they charged us 52 euros, claiming that it is for cleaning fee. This fee was never posted in anywhere and when I reached out the manager about it they replied that they will request hotels.com to refund me, which is nonsense and it is hotel’s responsibility to be honest about the fees and also refund the extra costs. ##### Mahdieh Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 13 Apr 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Alert : Unethical business! It’s 6 Euro local tax on the booking; however, upon checking-in, she charged another 40 euro service fee which was never mention on the booking contract. Very unethical business! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 12 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location, spaciousness of accommodation and communication regarding check-in were excellent. ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Eric 1 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Great location.

Right in the middle of everything, with a metro station two streets over. The instructions they gave us were clear and everything was easy and convenient. But be aware that there is no elevator! We had to carry our bags three floors up. The room offers plenty of space and was clean but the couch was broken in the middle. You couldn't really use it. The worst part was the bathroom. Black and poorly lit, you couldn't see anything, if it was clean or not. There was no circulation in the bathroom and the whole room smelled musty after a shower. The shower had great pressure and was pleasant but the warm water wasn't enough for two people. You had to wait for 20 minutes for the water to get warm again. ##### Sofia Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jinki 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 편리한 위치, 멋진 룸! 사진에서 봤던것보다 훨씬 멋진 룸 상태였고 위치 최고입니다! 다만 프론트가 없어 도움받을 사람 없있고 한국서는 잘 안쓰는 whatsapp으로 출입 방법 안내 문자 보내 준다는데 저는 받질못해 처음 체크인할때 상당히 힘들었습니다 ##### Jinki Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Murat 26 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Çok memnun kaldık.
