Great stay and would recommend! :)

Pros: We had a wonderful stay here, great communication from the host and a really comfy stay, we were very impressed by the room. It was perfect for our trip to Porto!

Cons: Not a negative for us, but it's an uphill walk from the city centre and a few flights up stairs up to the apartment, so just something to be aware of!

Pros: I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the city center. The room is well equipped with everything you might need for both short and long stays. The Wi-Fi was reliable and fast.

Felt like home, will come back :)

Pros: The location was perfect for me. It’s on a quiet street but still very central, so you can easily walk everywhere. For example, it’s just a 5-minute walk to the famous Mercado do Bolhão, right next to the impressive Capela de Santa Catarina with its beautiful blue tiles and to Bolhão metro station, which connects you directly to the airport. The accommodation itself is in a beautifully renovated traditional building. Very peaceful, comfortable, and fully equipped. What I especially loved was that the included Portuguese breakfast was served at one of two nearby cafés—and you could get it pretty much all day. A big plus for late sleepers like me :) Check-in was super easy, and the hosts provided great info about Porto ahead of time. They also responded to questions really quickly. Big thank you!

Beautiful building and room! Comfortable stay.

Pros: The property is lovely, the room was very nice, comfortable and clean. I would recommend and stay here again!

Cons: I think it’s a little bit pricey as there are similar options in the same area, somes with more offers in terms of facilities and less expensive.

Enjoyed my stay in tastefully decorated apartments

Pros: The Apartment was very tastefully decorated and had all facilities required. Wi-fi was excellent and I had a balcony room although no room for seats but pleasant all the same. In a quiet location.

Cons: The propietor had stated that you had to run the shower for 12 minutes before hot water this was true but will have to be surely rectified. The apartment did not have a safe which I personally prefer. A downhill walk of about 10 minutes to the nearest metro would have personally preferred closer. Breakfast outsourced to a couple of cafes therefore I personally lost out because of an early departure. Finally no lifts which may pose problems for those less mobile

Amazing!

Pros: The location is perfect, easy reach to main tourism points; balcony dining table is romantic to enjoy the sunset and the gentle wind and accompanied with some wine and food; the staffs are always smiling, and Mr. JP and Lucas helped me a lot with everything about Porto and the apartment, highly recommend!

Porto is a beautiful city for a short break, and this fabulous property is ideally located.

Pros: Everything! From the free limo that collected us from the airport, the spaciousness of the apartment, and the included breakfasts. Our second stay here and it was even better than previously.

Cons: If only we could have stayed longer!
