The accommodations in the 1st floor studio apt were perfect for our 4 night stay in Porto. The bed was a queen size. The shower head was hand held but we managed. It was close to the river market, riverfront and lots of food options. We enjoyed the port tasting next door at Oportuno’ with Maria. We did not like Mimo (bbq) directly across from the apt but enjoyed our burgers at Holy Sandwich Shop. The hosts responded quickly to our inquiries. 5 star!
Staff was welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Initially, I was confused with the check-in process (the app said to contact them prior to check-in to get the process. I messaged them, but did not receive the check-in info; but once we arrived and called, they answered and checked us in straight away). The apartment was spacious, comfortable and exactly as described. I highly recommend this place with one caveat: if you have heavy luggage, it is quite a challenge…so pack light and save your legs for the hilly city
Well located for access to the river and shopping and dining areas
Having a wshing machine would have been convenient for longer stays. There was a space there. Perhaps it was out for repairs
Very convinent place to stay! Close to everything,great location. If you arrive late, please contact the property earlier, there is no one around to check in. Miguel was really very responsive on what’s app. Only comment for travellers is if you have luggage to store after checkout, they don’t store it in the property. Porto is very hilly and you cannot drag the luggage around. Also, the cleaners arrived exactly at 11 and knocked on the door putting pressure to checkout on time. I would have given a 5 star otherwise.
Excellent apartment and easy late-checkin using key box. Everything very clean and well equipped kitchen - coffee included and refilled during the week 😊 Our host Rafa was very friendly and “always there” via WhatsApp when we had questions. Thank you Rafa! Internet had some dropouts, and was not the fastest.
Todo fue maravilloso, el lugar es increíble, muy bello y muy bien ubicado. El personal que nos recibió en el departamento muy amable.
Lo único incómodo es que la persona responsable no es nada cálida, es imperativa y seca, no se espera uno eso en un sitio enfocado en la hospitalidad, es una tristeza. De lo demás, todo perfecto
¿Me volveré a quedar allí? Siiiii todo lo bueno gana
Really good apartment in excellant location close enough to walk to all the local attrations with .plenty of very good bars and restaurants near by The aparment was spotlessly clean and spacious and i would highly recommend, this was our second visit and the hosts are fantastic the vine,sweets, tea and coffee a really nice touck.
This is an apartment rather than a hotel room, so you will need to let the owners know when you will be arriving so someone can let you in. Miguel was there when we arrived, and he was most helpful. They provide a map, and Miguel marked routes to use to get to the sights we wanted to see. There was a book supplied that had information about sights, restaurants, and activities. Very helpful!
The apartment is lovely, with a spacious bedroom and bathroom (tiny shower!) and a wall kitchen separated from the living area by doors. We didn’t use the kitchen except to make coffee in the morning, so I can’t really comment on it except to say it looked fine for preparing a meal if one really wanted to. It was wonderful to have a real drip coffee maker and coffee provided. Miguel also left a nice bottle of wine for us, which was a lovely welcome gift.
The apartment is close to many sights. We walked everywhere, although if we were to do it again we would take public transport for some of the steeper climbs! The weather in early April when we were there was cold and raw, with frequent bursts of rain, so walking wasn’t really very pleasant either! In nicer weather perhaps the walks wouldn’t have felt so exhausting!
Location is perfect, being near Bolsa Palace and the Cathedral, and very close to wonderful cafes and restaurants of Ribeira. The apartment is spacious, clean, renovated about 1.5 years ago. The decor is modern yet it retains some old stone characteristics. Miguel and Celina communicated well. The restaurants/cafes they recommended nearby were excellent!
