Casa Flora

We loved our stay

Pros: Location to all of the sight seeing is great and also restaurants etc

Cons: Shower rose was broken Need new pillows and 2 per person

Pros: Clear communication, great host. The place was clean and super nice in a quiet street.

Pros: Thank you Carolina for everything you did to make our trip more enjoyable, you were very helpful. The location is very well placed for buses and trams, a two minute walk away. Good options around for food and drinks. There is also a large supermarket by the tram station. A nice day trip out is on the number 500 bus to Foz do Douro and Matosinhos. Lovely beaches and plenty of restaurants and food.

Pros: We have to start by thanking Carolina our agen. She was fantastic, nothing was any trouble to her and even helped us booking an early morning taxi to the airport. The location was fantastic. A very short walk to bus and tram stops. Really close to the river and helicopter city flights too. The local restaurants bars and cafes were all very friendly serving delicious food. There is a large supermarket (continente bom) a five minute walk away just by the tram station. We would definitely stay there again. When we go back to Porto.

Cons: Luckily we can say our overall stay was great. Nothing negative we can add. Keep up the good work.

Pros: The apartment had a double bed, a kitchenette with cooking facilities and a bathroom. It was clean, comfortable and it had a little garden with chairs and tables to relax outdoors. Although we did not meet the staff in person, they contacted us ahead of our trip, left clear instructions for entry, provided tips on where to go and went out of their way to assist with some parcels we were expecting which did not arrive on time. There are stores around the neighbourhood to get food and conveniences. The road leading to the apartment is private and taxis dropped us a few metres away. The distance was not far and it is close to bus and tram routes and Uber of course whose response time is two to three minutes.

Cons: If you have heavy luggage (which we did not, you might need to carry that for 5 to 10 metres to the apartment.

Pros: Comfortable and spacious apartment for a couple. As this is the penthouse apartment, it is very bright and airy. Easy to walk everywhere but good transport links (bus nearby). Customer service very good as resolved our issue quickly. .

Cons: Apartment hadn't been cleaned when we arrived but this was quickly rectified when we contacted Carolina.

Pros: The building is in a quite environment, close to the river, newly renovated, has a nice garden and sitting area. It is 15 min walk to the university and 20 min walk to the old city. We were very pleased about the location. There is a big supermarket nearby open between 8 and 21 and there are nice restaurants. The apartment was spotless clean. The decoration was simple but nice. All kitchen supplies are provided, some cooking stuff such as olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper were provided as well. Coffee capsules were also available. Our host Carolina was super easy to reach and she checked us on during our stay to make sure if we needed anything. The bathroom set, including soap, shampoo, conditioner, body soap was of very good quality. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. The sofa bed was also comfortable and large enough. There are lots of space in the apartment, enough to move, leave your luggage and also to feel at home.

Cons: Our host Carolina explained the self check in by e-mail in advance. But the codes to enter the garden door and the building door were mixed, so we could enter the place by improvising the codes. That was a bit of stress. When we entered the apartment we discovered that one of the windows was broken and could not close. I contacted Carolina and she sent someone immidiately to fix it. It was fixed at least it was closed. Altough it is a very quiet apartment, the noise of the walk on the upper floor was too disturbing. We had to wake up 6:30 in the morning because of the noise. For longer stays (longer than 2 days), it would be nice to provide cleaning and towel change. There is iron but no washing washine in the apartment/building ( I thought there was but it is my misunderstanding.)

Pros: Very nice and clean, very well located, 20 minutes walking from the city centre. Next to shops and restaurants. A nice small garden. Quiet area.

Cons: The house rules are not respected by some of the guests, once they enter the room they think are in the jungle. We could hear almost everything from the penthouse from above, the last floor, way too early in the morning.

Excellent

Pros: Carolina has a very well equipped studio with many extras like a dishwasher etc it really does feel like a home from home experience. Superb apartment close to many attractions would highly recommend

Peaceful stay

Pros: Quiet peaceful area. Easy to get in. Clean place and when I mentioned we needed a sharper knife and another wine glass, someone dropped them off the same day. View of the garden and the valley behind. Supermarket is 5min walk away. Would happily return.

Cons: Not an issue for us but for older people there are a few steps to the property and after the gate. And there is no lift to get to the upper floors. So make sure you can handle stairs especially if you have heavy luggage. Please note that only two apartments have a view of the river and the bridge. On the listing you will see photos of other apartments, make sure which one you are booking, it's photos will be on a separate tab.
