Property was in an amazing location for a stay in Porto. Some parts of the building were slightly run down (wallpaper peeling, shower needed work, etc.) but overall it was a beautiful accommodation and very clean.
I liked everything, location the apartment is very beautiful near of everything. The only thing I did not know was the fact that there was not elevator and going to the second floor was very exhausting, all of us are over 65. Other than this, it was excellent!!!!
Right in the middle of everything! Walkable and safe! No elevators but great hosts kept our luggage until we were ready to leave

Beautiful apartment in ideal location, close to all nearby attractions. Cleaning could be better. Kitchen was well stocked and had washing machine. AC not great, we had front apartment so was pretty noisy as it was facing the street. If light sleeper request back. Overall enjoyed the stay and book this place again.
Excellent location, within close proximity to all major sightseeing spots. The apartment is fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you, Alex, for being so attentive to our requests.
We had a very nice loft apartment with heating and air conditioning. It also had a kitchen which was convenient, and located right next to Bolhao market and a short walk away from everything. The check-in process was really easy and the host messaged us with instructions ahead of time.
Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Porto.
Great property across the street from Mercado de Bolhão. Clean and well kept, we were met by Alex who was very helpful in getting us settled and great local recommendations for sights and restaurants.
Highly recommend and would stay again!

The staff was quite responsive. The flat is in a great location - literally across from the Bolhão market! We couldn't quite give it 5 stars because the kitchen wasn't stocked very well (lack of any paper products, and just one kitchen towel), the toilet ran constantly (hopefully that has been fixed by now), the sofa bed was not super comfortable and not easy to tuck away during the day. But if the measure of a good flat is whether or not one would come back, we would, we would just be aware of some of the issues.

Area is very convenient to everything, easy check in, priced appropriately, the only downside is the stairs, no elevators, hard if you have big bags.

Check-in was a breeze with great communication on our way there from Sofia (who also gave us some superb local tips on arrival). Apartment was spotless, spacious and in a perfect location - walking distance to everything, while also being on a very calm street. Would definitely return - highly recommended!

This property is right across a cobblestone street (no cars allowed) from a large market, and shopping along the street.
Unit is compact, but had room for what we needed, one could easily stay comfortably for a month
No elevator which was fine with the exception of check-in and check-out.... they did help with lugging the luggage upstairs. This hotel was very responsive via email. Questions were answered very quickly along with helpful suggestions.
I would stay here again.

Great place and location. Walkable to many restaurants. We were fortunate that our apartment was on the second floor. It is a four story building with no elevator which is very common in Portugal. Great communication with the host.

Property manager is super excellent, helpful, honest & extremely on top of things. He keeps us updated, always there when we needed assistance. Property is directly located across Bolhao market, how cool is that? Its located centrally to all major sights that you would want to see while in Porto. Clean, spacious, appreciate the welcome coffee pods. I would go back to Porto and stay with this apartment again! Thank you very much for everything!

Nice location
Great location for getting around. Located on a pedestrian mall, so you have to figure a way to get your bags from parking to/from across city streets. Be prepared. Alex was helpful getting us oriented. Shower almost impossible to use. Slow in getting it fixed before we checked out feeling slightly stinky.

Overall great place- would stay again 😁
Amazing location, easy to find, instructions of check-in sent day ahead were clear and easy to understand. Very comfortable bed, lots of towels, lots of books and dvd to choose from (even though dvd player wasn't working and all dvd were in Portugese). Salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, coffee and tea provided. They could improve on cosmetic side of the apartment (fresh paint to cover water damage on the walls) and more instructions could be in the apartment how to use Aircon to warm up the room . Also there is no elevator so it's not reachable for people with walking difficulties.

Amazing location right next to the fantastic market & v close to metro / buses etc. (though Uber so cheap in Porto that's not so important).
Check-in via a series of lock boxes (as they've no permanent reception on site) was easy enough & not really time dependant (despite the numerous emails/texts requesting a specific time for check-in prior to our arrival ??).
Apartment is absolutely fine. Decent sized space with lounge/kitchen, bedroom & private showroom/WC. Kitchen works fine & we used it a couple of times which was handy. Apartment is obviously well used/a bit tired, but kept clean & tidy enough for us (we can cope with a bit of mould in a shower tray etc.) - more of a posh hostel than an apart-hotel in that sense I guess.
We reported a couple of issues on arrival which were part-sorted quickly & without fuss. Communication was good & helpful.
Air con is required as it gets hot quickly on sunny days & unfortunately one of the two units leaked quite badly so we couldn't use it.
If you're a couple used to hotels looking for somewhere to spend time between exploring Porto, this might not be the place for you. It feels like it might be better suited for a group of two/three/four on a budget who are looking to share costs, happy with a sofa bed (in addition to the comfy double) & won't spend too much time there other than sleeping & a quick coffee / breakfast.
It suited our purposes for 2 nights on this trip but we probably wouldn't return with other options available.
