Gradevole e spazioso appartamento a ridosso del centro di Porto

L'appartamento è molto carino, spazioso e pulito situato in zona residenziale a ridosso del centro di Porto con vista sul fiume Douro, a 15 minuti a piedi. Dotato di tutte le comodità, è molto ampio e funzionale e provvisto di due camere da letto e 2 bagni. Consigliato per famiglie per la presenza di una cucina attrezzata, Check-in in autonomia con codice esterno e cassetta a combinazione per le chiavi, molto gradita la presenza di prodotti tipici di benvenuto. Proprietari, seppur a distanza, molto gentili e premurosi.

Nessun rilievo da fare, l'appartamento è davvero confortevole e funzionale per una famiglia di 4 persone. Consigliato

Spacious accommodation with great facilities

Lovely studio apartment with a side river view. Outside of the very busy and loud Porto center but close enough (quick walk) to the river and area where the boats and water taxi departs. it is spacious with everything you need. The owners took all the safety regulations also in consideration with a first aid kit, fire extinguisher and fire blanket. There are 2 high power fans to cool the flat in the heat. We had a lovely stay!

Ricardo is really nice. He does a great job staying in touch with guests. The place is lovely.

The apartment has very nice view, the kitchen and the living space is very nice.

The bed is little hard for me. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a good mattress but for us it is hard.

Bright airy apartment with lots of special touches

Lovely spacious apartment. Kitchen was well equipped. Loved the many special touches - a small bottle of port, chocolate brownies, croissants, boiled sweets, coffee machine with coffee pods, bottled water. Great location on the waterfront. A lovely friendly welcome from the owner.

Nothing.

Very good

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful apartment during our visit to Porto and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, the experience was wonderful. Firstly, the location couldn't have been better. Situated across the River Douro, it offered breathtaking views of the city skyline, and it was the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or unwind with a glass of wine in the evening. It had easy access to all the major attractions, as the tram runs on the street just in front of the building. Plus, the neighborhood felt safe and vibrant, with a great atmosphere. Our biggest challenge, though, we’re the stairs. It was like the equivalent of 3 flights until you could get to the main area. we happened to have a lot of luggages and we had a pretty difficult time getting them all up. But upon entering the apartment, I was immediately struck by how cozy and inviting it was. The decor was stylish and modern, and the space was impeccably clean. It truly felt like a home away from home. The apartment was well-equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances and a dining area that we took full advantage of as we enjoyed meals together. The bedrooms were spacious and boasted comfortable beds. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained, stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. The hosts, Ricardo and Teresa, were incredibly accommodating and responsive. They provided detailed instructions for check-in and promptly answered any questions I had throughout my stay. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel welcomed and valued as guests. They even provided us with welcome drinks (Port wine of course!) as well as cookies, coffee pods for the nespresso machine and other useful stuff. I wholeheartedly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the city. It ticks all the boxes for comfort, convenience, and style.

Great hosts who really went above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The beds were really comfortable and the location was good too.

You can hear every noise from upstairs and the shower leaks a bit, but I guess that is to be expected from and old building.

A wonderful apartment by the Douro

The apartment was clean, modern and contained all the facilities which we required. The wine and sweets on arrival was a very nice gesture. The hosts were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions which we asked. They even arranged for a taxi to collect us from the airport.

Nothing, apartment exceeded our expectations. Felt like a home away from home.

Good but no AC

Clean, comfortable, quiet. Teresa and Co left us croissants, juice, coffee, cookies +. Location was very good. The apt has a nice angled view of the river and it is a pleasant, level 15 minute walk to the lower historic part of town.

No air conditioning. They provide fans but even in early October it gets hot and stuffy in the apartment at night w the shutters closed. We had 3 nights of restless sleep as a result. We had a bit of a debate w the landlord over the air conditioning. They said it was not on the listing. When I pointed it out, they blamed Booking.com.

A brilliant choice for our one night stay in Porto

The hosts were super and let us into the apartment early to leave our bags. It was clean and spacious and wonderful location.

We would like more than one pillow each to sleep on and the air conditioning unit was a little noisy.

Location was great - has a river view and within walking distance of main city sights, the port wine cellars, and restaurants along the river. The tram runs right in front of the apartment. It was also just a short drive from Matosinhos. The hosts were great - they helped arrange for airport pickup service and, even provided some nice port wine and some cookies as a welcome gift. There was always public street parking available across from the apartment.

Superb

Perfect location to explore Porto. Everything is in walking distance. The architecture of the apartment and the view of the river is really great.

If you arrive by car, try to avoid the exact address and driving directions of your Navigation system, rather navigate to the large street directly on the river. Parking is a bit tricky, but possible.

Wonderful stay and amazing views of Oporto

This apartment and its beautiful views are definitely worth the price. Everything was perfect, from the decoration and details to how well equipped the apartment is. Teresa and Ricardo were 100% available for anything that we needed and made us feel at home. Location was good, 10 min walk from the city centre.

It's not in the city centre and Oporto is quite hilly so the location might not so comfortable for seniors or people with mobility difficulties.

Excellent stay until we got kicked out from the cleaning lady.

Bed was really comfortable. A clean and nice designed room as you can see from the photos. Tiny balcony, nice view from the window. The heater worked quite well. The location was great, quite area, but with short walk and you are already in the city center.

Cleaning lady arrived an hour earlier than our check out and was quite pushy. We still went for a quick walk but when we came back to check out, she almost didn't let us use the bathroom. Overall it was nice staying there, but it completely ruined our stay to be kicked out like this.

Cute little studio, 10 mins walk to shops

Cute little studio, kitchen is well equipped, Ricardo and Teresa provided easy and constant communication

Being first flat upon entering building, there was constant stomping up and down the stairs and hear the people upstairs all night, pacing about up till 2ish in the morning and starting 7am, not great if you want to sleep

It was a really great stay in a cozy, beautiful appartement, overall well equipped. We slept like angels thanks to a big, comfortable bed.

ONLY thing we missed was a little oven (only microwave available), apart from that also the kitchen was perfect.

The most perfect apartment!

So sweet and beautifully designed, so much light and had so many nice things. The bed was really comfy, there's a huge shower, loads of kitchen space, a lovely balcony overlooking the water and a nice kitchen table and breakfast bar. There were lots of things like tea, coffee, nespressos, little biscuits and lots of information about things to do and places to eat in Porto. We were met by the lovely host who showed us the apartment and gave us the keys, it was really easy. Great location, just a little bit out of the centre but a beautiful walk along a road with lots of amazing Porto-esque buildings on one side and the river on the other. We come to Porto sometimes and we have definitely found our new place to stay!
