Intro to Porto

The only negatives were having to schlep our bags up three flights of stairs and the fact that the code was not properly programed to the door to the apartment requiring several trips up and down those stairs. All else was great.Hosts were gracious and the bakery an added treat! Location was terrific!

Great property in a great location with a great breakfast. Apartment was a bit Spartan: cold when we arrived late at night and no pictures on the walls, but otherwise modern and well equipped. Luis was very helpful and the welcome cookies/ biscuits were much appreciated.

Central location close to everything

The apartment was spotless and well equipped. Great location to walk to all the sites. Only drawbacks were noisy college students very late at night due to university next store but it is a minor blio. Luis & Elisa were easy to communicate with and the breakfast included every morning in their restaurant downstairs was delicious!

Birthday Get Away

We loved the Almond Biscuit apartment. It is right across the street from a beautiful church which was lovely to look at. The description said that there is a bed in the living room,if you are needing a bed for a third person contact the property manager ahead of time to request that one be placed in the until. It was a roll away cot but very comfortable. When we visited the bakery down stairs was closed for remodel which was said but didn't change how lovely the stay was. Getting to the shopping and restaurant areas as well as the waterfront is an easy walk from the apartment, but be prepared for some steep roads. The apartment had everything we needed and is in a perfect location to explore Porto. We would book the apartment again.

Excellent location and view of the historic “twin” churches. The only downside was the third floor of a building with high ceilings. We would strongly recommend a lower floor if you have substantial luggage or are more senior.

My wife and I were stayed in this location for 4 days and 3 nights, and we wished it would've been at least double! Luis and Elisa were wonderful hosts, and they also run the pastry / food shop downstairs which was delicious. What an absolute gem this place was. The church across the street was lovely as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Well appointed apartment in fantastic location

We stayed for 11 days in the Almond Biscuit apartment. The apartment a very comfortable home base for our adventures in Porto. We would start off each day with a wonderful breakfast provided Confeitaria Primar. The Apartment is very well situated with lots of restaurants/bars in the immediate area. The rest of the city is a 15-20 minute walk away. I can't recommend this apartment enough. When we go back to Porto, we will certainly stay here again.

Awesome Apartment in a great location

The apartment was very nice and just as pictured. The church across the street was an amazing view. The unit is in a pastry shop which is downstairs, which is owned by the same people. The hosts were delightful!! Each morning you get to go down and have breakfast. Yum! We would not hesitate to stay here again, loved it. Thanks!

Flat above bakery

We really enjoyed the area. The flat was great. The building is lovely with a wide staircase. Being on the third floor with high ceilings means a heck of a lot of stairs, especially after going up and down hills. This is, of course, more of an issue when hauling suitcases. However, the flat does make-up for that. The only issue was that we were looking forward to having breakfast at the bakery each day and did not find out until just before we got there. They were kind enough to leave some food though, but it was disappointing.

Gem in a wonderful area

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The view from our windows was amazing. There were so many options for dinners and as an added bonus breakfast was included in our stay. Breakfast was amazing and we enjoyed sitting outside on the Primar patio every morning with our coffee. The actual unit was beautiful with high ceilings and great features. Transit was just outside the front door and the tram stop was outside the back. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Picturesque Porto

The Almond Biscuit apartment was absolutely perfect, comfortable and truly picturesque with the balcony view of the church, the square and the bustling activity all around! The entrance stairs from the bakery to the third floor showcased the beauty of the restored interior; a unique entrance to our experience in Porto staying over the bakery Primar. It is a perfect location for staging walking trips around the city. Luis and Elisa are superb hosts and very attentive to the needs of the guests as they run their busy bakery. Treats, pastries and breakfast were yummy and the basket left at the door on Saturday night, a lovely breakfast picnic for Sunday! Looking forward to returning to Porto and staying here again!!
