The property is in an excellent location, right in the city center. The apartment was clean and spacious, providing plenty of room for our group of four adults and two children. The check-in process was stressful. There is only one set of keys: one for the building and one for the apartment. A building key is supposed to remain in a lockbox outside at all times, but when we returned to the apartment, the key was missing, leaving us unable to enter the building. If members of your group plan to go out separately or return at different times, the key arrangement can be very inconvenient. Another drawback is that there is no air conditioning. On warm days, you can open the windows, but sleeping can be difficult because of the noise. During the day, there was construction with heavy machinery nearby, and at night, the bars and nightclubs directly below the apartment were very loud. Finally, there is no elevator. If you are traveling with heavy luggage, be prepared to carry it up the stairs.

Great Location Great Place!!!

Really an amazing location and wonderful place… the only issue we had was it was unusually hot during the time in Porto … there is no air conditioning or fans and we could not sleep! But the place, location, and our host Petronella were all amazing!

GREAT LOCATION IN A FUN CITY

Apartment was perfect for our family of five adults. All rooms were nice and comfortably furnished and supplied with everything we needed. Location is on a small side street right in the thick of things. We walked easily everywhere we wanted to go, including sites, stores, restaurants and the waterfront on both sides of the river.

Wonderful Place to Call Home in Porto

We felt very at home in this apartment while staying in Porto. The central location was very convenient for all of our adventures. There was construction going on around the apartment and I will be interested in seeing how things change in the area as this is completed! Thank you for making our trip more enjoyable!

Porto break

The property is clean spacious and very centrally located. Walking distance to everything, river is 2 minutes away and plenty of restaurants locally. Petra is very responsive to messages and is lovely. It is on the 3rd floor so lots of stairs to climb which was not a problem for us but Incase someone is elderly or has mobility issues. We had a wonderful stay.

Great location, very nice host.

The location is great for walking everywhere in Porto. Our host, Petronela, was very helpful, kind and responsive - thank you! The apartment is in a small street with some bars and cafés, which makes it quite lively and popular, especially with young locals, what you would expect in the centre of a city like Porto. We really appreciated the sense of being in the middle of things. We would mention that there are renovations going on opposite the apartment building which can be quite loud during the day, but didn't really bother us. Overall, we can safely recommend staying!

Great - but …

Overall, great experience and hostess. The only thing that was a bit confusing was the extra charges when we checked in. Our reservation indicated we were paid in full, but when we checked in m, we were asked to pay an extra tax per person per night. Other than that, very nice property in good location.

Fun in Porto

Great location...really easy to walk to everything we wanted to see and do. Great restaurants in the neighborhood. The apartment was generally good and "as advertised". We were a bit disappointed with the check-in process and the communication before and during our stay. Nothing was very clearly defined or communicated and that led to some frustrations and complications. Small item: wish there were some towel hooks to hang wet towels and clothes. The laundry lines outside were unfortunately exposed to sideways rain during several days of our visit.

Great location for walking

This property was in a great location for walking around town and had plenty of shops and restaurants close by. We thoroughly enjoyed that aspect however, it wasn’t a quite lazy area. There is a lot of construction going on in the surrounding buildings and it starts at 8:00 AM straight up! Also, the pillows could use an upgrade. They are quite flat and covered with plastic protector under the pillowcase which makes for awful sleeping. The layout of the property was great for our family however. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics, which we did not use a lot of because we wanted to eat the local food, which was amazing. Also, the people of Portugal are very friendly, and we very much enjoyed our time in Porto.

Fantastic Central Porto Location on a restaurant row

Lovely location on a very active street in the middle of Porto. Easy walking distance to basically everything. Fantastic restaurants on the very street. You'll need to walk up several flights of stairs so be ready to carry your bags. The place itself has a nice living/den area and a big table. Kitchen is not equipped for much cooking--two hot plates and a microwave. Right next to the front door is a little store where you can pick up water/soda etc. Up the street are 2-3 cafes and a boulanger where you can get real pastel de nata pasteries. If you are into very fine dining, reserve at Dop in advance. Exceptional Michelin restaurant. Mistu slightly less fancy but fabulous--great cocktails if you are a coctail hound. Holy has a line in front every day before it opens and has fantastic burgers. If you go up the hill and then up the staircase at the top there is a fantastic panoramic view of the city

Best location!!

This apartment is truly in the best location. You can walk everywhere in the city. As others have reviewed the check-in was a bit confusing and communication was difficult. Very little to no English with the property manager and Host. Hardly any parking garages in Porto, but since we could walk everywhere, we found a 24 hour parking garage that is a 10 minute walk from the apartment. Without an elevator, the four story walk up and down daily would be difficult for those with mobility issues. The actual apartment was as describe however we were there during the winter and it was freezing cold in the apartment. The space heaters provided in every room do not give off much heat. Extra blankets were provided, but still very cold. It was also very frustrating not having a place to hang wet towels. I hope that the host installs some hooks or bars in the bathrooms for future guests.

Location was excellent. Property was clean. The host took a long time to communicate and that was frustrating. There was not enough toilet paper for a group of 7. The stairs to the second level were shaky in some spots. The bedrooms need mirrors. On the whole it was a good spot for a large group.
