Very nice owner. Apartement was clean, facilities were good. Location close by sea and 15 minutes to the city center by bus were perfect for me

Casa da Belavista is a charming, perfectly located property that feels like home. The owner Luiz and his lovely wife own the home -- there are two apartments that they rent out. I rented #4, the basement or cellar apartment. It is a spacious one-bedroom with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and full bathroom. The property is across the street from the magnificent esplanada and the Douro River. You can walk, take the iconic tram (lines 1 and 18 start/stop just around the corner!), or take the #500 bus into Porto. Walk along the river in either direction and you will enjoy spectacular views. There are several charming restaurants within 3-5 minutes walking from the apartment -- stop into Arcadia for fine chocolates and other sweet treats or Habitat for a Porto Tonic and delicious meal. The kitchen is well equipped so you don't have to eat every meal out. Pingo Doce grocery store is about a 10-minute walk and Continente grocery store is on the way to/from Porto. Luiz speaks English and provides a lot of helpful information in the apartment. Internet connection is fast and stable. Bed is very comfortable. I felt very safe as a solo traveler.

I stayed for nearly a month and can't think of anything I didn't like!

Great location for a familiy, next to a green park and just a short walk to atlantic coast. The apartment had everything we needed, and it was nicely and authenticly equiped. We liked the kitchen with two bar stools.

The bathroom with the bathtub is a little outdated.

It was amazing. The best ever!! Beautiful house, really nice and friendly holder ready everytime help to us.

We had a great stay, the surrounding was great and the room has a lovely ambience. We really enjoyed and will be happy to come again any time

A place with character! Well equipped for a self catered stay. Although no direct sea view, just look left from the front door and it's about 100 m away. Good public transport links. And Luiz, the host, is extremely helpful.

Note that there is a place for free car parking on about 80 m away but note these are narrow streets.

The location is fabulous! Across the street from the harbour and lovely park and sea promenade (no view of the sea as the suite is basement level in a side street). Also, it is at the beginning/end of the tram line-very quaint- that runs along the sea into the old town at the church of Sao Francisco. The apt. was well equipped, spacious and comfortable.

There was a residue smell of ild, damp stone. The apartment was not damp, but if you have environmental allergies, it would be difficult to ignore the lingering odor.

The apartment was great! It was very spacious and clean and had all the most needed kitchen appliances. The location was very central with close walk to the public transport, restaurants and the sea. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate.
