Great location, lots of space and natural light. Close to a lot of amenities. Could use more paper product, and a welcome coffee to get you started. The loft bedroom could use more safety railing and a privacy screen. We did not use it due to safety concerns.

Perfect location

Beautiful building in a very central location. Large living space . Clean and comfortable with two very good size bathrooms. The air conditioning in every room and the extensive wardrobe space was great. The lift was a great advantage and a must for us with luggage. The 500 bus stops more or less outside the building. A great stay and I would recommend. Please take care getting out of the lift as the downward stairs are to your immediate left.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO in Porto! The location was unbeatable—just a short walk to the river, metro stop, restaurants, and shops. Despite being on a busy road, the apartment was remarkably quiet, allowing for a restful stay.The amenities were excellent, with an elevator and air conditioning making our visit especially comfortable. The host was attentive and ready to greet us at check-in, ensuring a smooth arrival. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the space was ideal for our family of five adults. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals when we didn’t feel like dining out. Additionally, the provided resources with restaurant and tour recommendations were a thoughtful touch. The view from the balcony was a lovely bonus!A couple of things to note: The lofted bedroom and the large opening with shutters in one of the bedrooms meant privacy was a bit compromised. While this wasn’t an issue for us, it could be something to consider for future guests. Additionally, the live TV wasn’t accessible, and the slow internet made streaming difficult—hopefully, just a one-time issue.Overall, this rental was a fantastic choice, and we’d happily stay here again!

Great location

We were very happy with our stay at this apartment in Porto. The manager was very communicative and helpful. The location is excellent. We were around the corner from a square with several excellent restaurants and entertainment. Below us we had a Pastel de Nata bakery that made delicious fresh pastries throughout the day and across the street was a tourism office where we were able to get tickets for the sightseeing bus. Super helpful. There is a small kitchen where we were able to have hot drinks in the morning but other than that, we really didn't eat in and there isn't a washing machine (which I am sure is noted in the listing and I just didn't notice), but we had everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable and the water pressure and temperature were excellent.

Gorgeous location, really not clean

The location and architecture are perfect. There were dirty dishes, someone else’s bracelet on the bedroom floor when we arrived, toothpaste smeared on the bathroom wall. Carpets and upholstery really dirty. You get the idea. With new management this could be stellar. We did tell the host about all this within our first 24 hours. No effort made to rectify. We went out and bought new linens and towels.

Great location, not so great apartment

The apartment was not cleaned well. The kitchen was dirty, the apartment was so dusty that we had trouble with allergies. The dust under the couches was 1/4 " deep, the shag carpet was dirty, the couches were dingy and saggy. The batteries on the remote control were dead. The kitchen cutlery and glasses were the cheapest you can get and limited. The apartment has no privacy - this weird added loft space bedroom sits in the middle of the apartment for all to see. You can hear the slightest noise from every room. Not a pleasant stay at all. This is not a property that I could recommend to anyone. That being said, the location was great.

Grand apartment in a great location

The location of this apartment cannot be beat, it is right in the midst of old town Porto in a grand old building. There is an elevator to the 3rd floor apartment that is handy when you have luggage or for those with mobility issues, though the very high step off the street into the common area of the building could be an issue. The apartment is beautiful and spacious with extra tall ceilings (18’?), and a cleverly designed kitchen, 2nd bath and 3rd bedroom loft. We were glad we didn’t need the loft bedroom as there is zero privacy in it and the railing on the steps to it were not very substantial should you need to rely on it. The other two bedrooms were very nice, including comfortable mattresses and attractive furnishings. The biggest drawback—and out of the owner’s control—is the noise from the tenant on the floor above, especially in the larger bedroom. We could hear every footstep and movement they made, which isn’t a problem during waking hours, but became more annoying as we tried to sleep and continued to hear lots of noise well into the wee hours of the morning from the floor above the back bedroom. Communication with the owner was fast and flexible, letting us drop off luggage early. We were passed about from the original contact person to two other people which was not ideal—but also not a problem, they were both responsible and did not let us down.
