Not for anyone who has mobility challenges.

Very convenient location, however, please note that the hotel can only be accessed via stone stairs from the main Porto Cathedral. Therefore, this would not be suitable for elderly or mobility-challenged people. There are also many flights of stairs to get down to the restaurant promenade beside the Douro River. As long as you are reasonably fit, the comfortable.

Great stay.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is spacious, clean, well equipped, has character/history and is in a great location near the cathedral (Se in Portuguese). Would definitely stay here again. Nilde and Gabriel were extremely helpful both before arrival and on arrival. Just be aware that you need to navigate some steps to get to the apartment - but it's worth it!

Amazing location for a long weekend

The location is excellent for sight seeing as the property is very near the Don Louis bridge. The access is via a lot of steps. Quite difficult to find but we were met at the Cathedral and shown the way. I would recommend booking the taxi through the owners as it is cheaper than the airport taxis and they know where to drop you. The apartment is small but well designed and equipped. Our one complaint was that the television did not work and no one came to fix it.

Incredible apartment that really suited my wife and I. In the heart of the historic centre of Porto and close to many sights and restaurants. Communications were really easy and our host was extremely helpful providing local information on best restaurants, bars and places to visit. Porto is a wonderful destination. We spent 5 nights in the apartment and will definitely return.

Once we arrived at the apartments, we were very pleased with the accommodations, freshly decorated, fully stocked kitchen, spacious one bedroom apartment. There is no easy way to get to the apartments with luggage, so be prepared for stairs and/or steep inclines on cobblestone paths. The upside is no car traffic, very close to the Luis Bridge, cathedral of Porto, and the Old Porto waterfront where there are many attractions and food options.

I liked everything about it. It was so convenient and accessible. Located in the middle of a historical region and near restaurants, it offered an amazing view of the bridge and was very clean. Everything was awesome. Just a heads up: it is far from the street, and you need to walk all the way with your luggage and take it up and down the stairs. That is the only negative point for this apartment.

Great room with great accomodations. Coffee machine, fridge, very generous shower, etc. Service was also great with a welcoming and informative host eager to share about her city. However, must note that apartment is located on stairs, so there was a lot of going up and down which may tire more than desired.

This was a cute property but challenging to access (especially with luggage) due to the many stairs in the area. The apartment had all the amenities you would want and a lovely king size bed. It was comfortable and close to everything. We were able to get parking near by but drive on some pretty tight streets to access. With no luggage and no car the place is great but luggage and a vehicle makes this place a bit tricky.
