The apartment was clean and well prepared for our arrival. While small, it comfortably accommodated the four of us (2 adults 2 kids). It is in a central location of Porto, close to Mercado do Bolhao, the metro, and within a decent walking distance of the riverfront. There are many restaurants and shops close by. We highly recommend this property the next time you visit Porto.

Good apartments. Comfortable and with good location (not the best, but good enough). The only downside is that we had a 4th floor room, with no elevator, so I recommend you travel light. Would stay here again.

Fit for our stay

We liked our stay there, it´s well equipped and decorated appartment with all we needed in bathroom and kitchen (we didn´t cook). Location is just right to be still relatively quiet, but very close to the city center. Also communication with the host was seemless, just the indication of the accomodation location on the street could be a bit more obvious.
