The location is perfect. Beautiful view! The check process was ok.Would have been nice to have more than one coffee pod when we arrived in the afternoon and at least some dishwasher tablets. This is minor but would be handy and a special touch. Overall a good stay. Can recommend.

We all loved the location as its heart of Porto with great shopping, restaurants everywhere, close to river. The apartment was spotless. For us was that it did not have washer/dryer but found a lady to do it for us for really cheap. Would absolutely recommend the place and would stay there again

Stay here, you will not be disappointed

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

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.

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.

Location, location

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.

Great stay With family from California

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.
