As advertised! Beautiful living areas, comfy beds, great neighborhood . Easy to get to all the sights. Yet plenty to see right on the streets. And we felt safe inside and outside.
Marc was very responsive with details on how to check in. The place was clean, spacious and close to the river and restaurants. The only slight misrepresentation is that there is not a futo. It’s a large sofa but it still worked for sleeping.
Wonderful apartment in the center of Porto. Very clean and comfortable. A little lite on kitchen utensils but we were able to make do. Flight of stairs to the elevator was a little challenging with luggage but manageable. Would definitely stay there again.
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was clean and well maintained, and the perfect amount of space for 2 couples. The location was ideal for exploring Porto. Highly recommend!
Excellent location and spectacular view of the river from balcony
The property was spacious, beds comfortable and kitchen was perfect. The location was great especially close to really good restaurants. The balcony with river and cathedral views was my favorite. Our host was very helpful and check in was very easy. Would stay here again.
The property's location was excellent, right in the downtown core with front and back balconies which was great space to take in essence of Porto. We would highly recommend this property.
A great apartment, in a very centre of Porto, with breathtaking views of both Douro river and Palacio da Bolsa! Beautiful inside and just steps away from all the riverfront activity and restaurants!
My husband and I loved our one month stay at this beautiful apartment in June 2025. You can tell by the photos it has everything that you need. The view to the Luís I bridge is perfect, You are 1/2 block to the Riberia and Douro river. 100’s of restaurants are within a few blocks. This is the prime location to stay for a few days or an extended stay like ours. Marc was a wonderful host, He replied promptly to all communications, Enjoy enjoy! Porto is a beautiful city, drink the port and eat a franchisinia
We were two couples traveling together this place was beautiful and we both had our own spaces snd bathrooms. In addition if you want to see Porto it’s the perfect location!
Great property with a great location. It was in the middle of everything with great views as well. If we go back to Porto, we'll definitely be staying at this property again with no hesitation.
This location was amazing to walk out your door and visit restaurants and shopping and all the attractions. My only comment would be that my daughter said the downstairs bedroom had a very uncomfortable mattress, but otherwise the apartment was amazing.
Fabulous appartement specially the upper bedroom which has a great view on the Douro.
It's quite and very convenient with plenty of restaurants close.
Kitchen very well equipped if you want to do your cooking !
I highly recommend this property !
Our 5 nights at the property were more than we expected. One small timing issue upon checkout was easily managed by the host. We would certainly stay in the apartment again.
This location is perfect. In the middle between an over the bridge day or up the hill through the historic town. Grocery store just around the corner . We hope to return
We stayed at the same apartment in 2015. The location on the Ribeira is ideal for people who like to walk: a short stroll to the river and the port houses of Gaia, and also to the restaurants up the hill in Porto.Our companions did not like the hard bed in the main floor bedroom, and they complained also about noise at all hours from the street traffic.It was a great place to relax in the evenings, after many thousands of steps during the day.
