Great stay in Porto!

We loved our stay in Porto old city. The apartment was very comfortable and quiet. An oasis from the busy streets especially as we were visiting during the festival of St John. Convenient location to all the sights. Communication was easy and we loved the Portuguese Tarts left for us on arrival.

The location is unbeatable! Right by the train station and next to the sightseeing monuments in Porto. The room was also clean and had a nice balcony and the front desk was very receptive to questions via WhatsApp. Only downside is that the bed is not an actual bed it’s a pullout and we were unfortunately given a very late check in when promised a window.

Convenient location and beautiful view of old town

Location is very good and the instruction for entering the building and room was clear. We loved the welcoming sweets!! Only disappointment was the neighbour area with the people who seem to be junkies and hanging around all the time in front of the apartment although they never bothered us. Overall we had amazing time!

Stay was great, security for the building is great, and most importantly, LOCATION is everything. The road to this property is sometimes hard to find for Ubers. Your first impression is misleading as you do see the homeless and drug addicts but they do not bother you- even at night. This place is great and I would come back to stay here.

Faultless

Excellent location, up a steep but short little hill which put you very close to the "top" bridge, and a very short walk to Sao Bento station. Apartments was small and quirky but functional and a fair price with generally great internet connectivity and decent kitchen and bathroom. Great comms and appreciated the late checkout on New Years Day, thank you, so good to deal with real people. Recommended.
