The location is unbeatable! Right by the train station and next to the sightseeing monuments in Porto. The room was also clean and had a nice balcony and the front desk was very receptive to questions via WhatsApp. Only downside is that the bed is not an actual bed it’s a pullout and we were unfortunately given a very late check in when promised a window.
2.0 / 10.0
Theoretically, this location is wonderful. You’re in the center of everything. Unfortunately you are also right next to an abandoned park where people who appear to be homeless congregate. I read this in the reviews and thought that the reviewers were just being biased towards homeless folks who generally keep to themselves. However we saw someone smoking crack 3 times. Once he approached us to tell us that crack is legal and we shouldn’t call the cops. It was incredibly threatening. Those folks were often drinking, throwing things and exhibiting erratic behavior which made coming back to the apartment a source of anxiety rather than comfort. Unfortunately this isn’t something the company can control but you should be aware when booking.
Additionally, there are a few things the company could improve. The apartment is cleaned basically but had plenty of cobwebs in corners and crumbs(?) under furniture. It could use a regular deep cleaning. Lastly, the furnishings are all conversion furniture so they are not comfortable. The mattress on the main bed is a Murphy bed and is very thin. The pictures made me think it was a permanent bed so be warned and adjust expectations accordingly.
On the plus side the company was very easy to communicate with and prompt when getting back to me. I liked the people i met and wish I could leave a better review.

This apartment is divine. The views are the best part. I had my apartment on the first floor facing the back.. the communication with the staff was great. They send me all the information and answered all my questions. They even brought me an iron I wanted the next day! The cathedral is literally 3 minutes walk from the place. And all major sites 6-10 minutes walk. Excellent local restaurants, a mini market near by, Starbucks, local bakeries, shops and the bay is 10 minutes walk.

Location of the property is both excellent and poor. It’s just a minute away from the Porto Cathedral, but it is also next to a homeless and drug area. I did not feel safe going in and out of the apartment , even though homeless never bothered us.
Apartment itself is ok, but I didn’t feel that I was completely clean.
Hosts were wonderful and accommodating .
That being said , I would not stay there again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Host was great at communicating how to access property, what to do, etc, and made the process really easy. Location was perfect for accessing things. Highly recommend.
4.0 / 10.0
It would be important that the host be specific about which unit is being rented out and about the sketchy immediate surroundings. If you book via Expedia, you are likely going to end up in the «Wine » apartment of which all windows are blocked (virtually no natural light) and has no balcony. It is at ground level of a site where homeless people hang out day and night and is also very humid so basically feels like a basement. It is cheaper than the upstairs units so may be interesting for some people since the general location makes it easy to access everything in Porto but I was travelling with my elderly mother and we would have gladly paid more for a higher quality accommodation. As I told the owner, being disappointed is never a good feeling; he should be upfront about this particular unit and will find the customers that will be satisfied with it. Otherwise, it is clean and well kept for.

The property was centrally located and clean. Outside the property there were drug users shooting up at all times of the day and night, it was scary and less than optimal.
6.0 / 10.0
The location of this property was in a great location. 5 minutes from the main Porto bridge and the Cathedral and central to transport. However, this is a very authentic location where we had homeless people right outside our apartment window with some occasionally sitting the step outside the apartment. We arrived with the apartment not being very obvious and the first thing we saw were the homeless people appearing to be taking drugs. For 3 girls together we were ok but not suitable for someone alone. The apartment itself was ok, not what the pictures showed, we didn't have a balcony and the shutters did not open enough for us to sit and look out the windows. It could also be noisy at night due to the homeless people outside.
However, we received a lovely custard tart on our arrival and the company were really good at answering questions via whatapp. We were flying late on our last day and we could leave our suitcases in a sister apartment block around 10 minutes away. This location looked much nicer so it was a shame we were not staying there.
Overall we were a little disappointed and felt a little misled by the pictures on the website but the apartment was basic and had what we needed.

owners did their best at making our stay good… great communication before and during our stay. Location is excellent but there are some issues w homeless people around. They never bother us, however. The apartment was in great shape.

We stayed in Bridges apartment.
It’s view was the homeless in the area.
My traveling companions were rattled by a call out of a homeless woman on our arrival telling tourists to go away.
One night there was some early morning yelling by the local homeless that woke us up.
Inside the apartment was clean and felt very safe.
Pillow cases on the extra pillows would have been nice and maybe a couple more towels especially for the kitchen.
It is small but really you aren’t in it long. It was a short walk to most restaurants. Beds were comfortable.
Approx 12 min walk all downhill to the Duoro River. It’s all downhill so remember it’s all up hill on the way back.
This is great for younger people and couples.
I don’t know if I would recommend for young families with children.
We were three older women travelling without our significant others.

Parking was limited and difficult. There was a group of homeless people hanging out front. I know that the owners have no control over that but if I was a single woman I would feel uncomfortable. The unit was very nice and clean and the bed was comfortable

I thought the location is great. Parking was free right outside.

Is was a very nice apartment and prepared well. Great location! Touch points beforehand were good but there was a miscommunication about check in time on the Expedia site and we had to wait while the apartment was cleaned. There was a group of people hanging around the parking lot right outside, and they seemed possibly homeless. We felt bad, they didn’t do anything to harm, but it was also uncomfortable. Otherwise a great stay.

Location is very good and the instruction for entering the building and room was clear.
We loved the welcoming sweets!! Only disappointment was the neighbour area with the people who seem to be junkies and hanging around all the time in front of the apartment although they never bothered us. Overall we had amazing time!

Highly recomended!
Location, location: near all amenities, everything is walking distance, a super affordable Uber ride from Campanha station if you are arriving by train.
Great comunication with the property, easy check in, check out, just perfect.
The apartment was super clean, good size shower, comfortable beds, we only stayed 3 days but definitely i think this place could be easily a good long stay because of their well equipped kitchen. The only down is, there is no washer-drier so it will be a little complicated to do laundry - i didnt see any around but i may be wrong-
The apartment we stayed called the Tram has a lovely patio with nice lights for enjoying a glass of wine with dinner. I would definitely book this option when i visit Porto again, I loved Porto! -actually, i liked more Porto than Lisbon (sorry Lisbon) this city wont disapoint if you like scenery, history and good wines! And this property is a gem!

It was well cared and well designed hotel.
What is best on this hotel was the management of this company. They communicated well and respond quick and very attentive.

Great location short walk from train station, famous bridge and most of the Old Porto attractions. Clean apartment. Everything you need is there and the welcome gift was a nice touch. My only concern would be the building/stands in front of it. Lots of people there day and night drinking and sleeping. Not recommended for solo female travellers.

Very nice apartments (we had 2 apartments for our group of 5). Good communication with the owners. Up a little bit of a hill from the train station - very close to the cathedral and bridge across the river as well as shopping and dining areas

There was an square near the property with homeless and junkies all day. The location was awsome but you could fell intimidated with the square's junkies.

We loved our stay in Porto old city. The apartment was very comfortable and quiet. An oasis from the busy streets especially as we were visiting during the festival of St John. Convenient location to all the sights. Communication was easy and we loved the Portuguese Tarts left for us on arrival.

Stay was great, security for the building is great, and most importantly, LOCATION is everything. The road to this property is sometimes hard to find for Ubers. Your first impression is misleading as you do see the homeless and drug addicts but they do not bother you- even at night. This place is great and I would come back to stay here.

Great apartment with an absolutely amazing view! Has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the hosts were wonderful at responding to us and accommodating what we needed. A very spacious bathroom with good water pressure and hot temperatures in the shower. The windows also close completely and block out all of the sun when you do not want light in the apartment.
Of note, there are no tissues / kitchen towels in the apartment, so you may need your own. Also would recommend to be careful with the shower, as it’s easy to get water everywhere if the shower head and hose is not secured in the holder. If you’d like to store your luggage, you are able to message the hosts and hold this in their office around the corner while awaiting check in.
The location is very central and convenient, however the only downside we had to our stay is that it is directly across from a drug den and at night there are many drug users and dealers outside and along the street. We would recommend going with other people when accessing the street or accommodation in the dark.

We had a pleasant stay in our studio apartment. The facilities were good and our bed was comfortable. The wifi signal could drop out of an evening. There is homeless people around the apartment but they kept to themselves and never interacted with us when we were coming and going from the apartment
6.0 / 10.0
The site says there is on site parking, which is not true. Everything is private or there is street parking which are rightfully occupied by the local residents. Wifi didn’t work but that was okay as we had a roaming package. The host was responsive and communicative. Location was convenient.

Decent, up a bit of a steep hill but located really well. Was a shame we couldn’t sit out on the balcony but overall the accommodation was decent and secure.

The apartment was lovely and well equipped with dishes and linens. The hosts were responsive to our requests. The TV didn’t work, the first night we had the wrong remote and they brought the correct one over right away, but then we could not get one channel. The safe didn’t work either. I also could not figure out the microwave. It was a conventional/ micro combo. I followed the instructions and it would turn on and then in Two seconds turn off. The location of the apartment is great. It is in a lively neighborhood close to lots of stores, restaurants and the metro. It is up a very steep hill which is difficult for and older woman with bad knees. It also appears to be across from a very seedy area where individuals assemble all day to do drugs. It was very intimidating and as a result we always felt like we had to be in before dark. There was also a farmer’s/ fish market most mornings in the cement structure across the street. Our hosts assured us it was a safe area, but it was still a little to scary for me.
8.0 / 10.0
The property itself was great, close to the tourist spots, however at the entrance to the property there were several homeless people and drug takers. When we first arrived there was also a police van outside the property dealing with some issue with the aforementioned people. It was off putting, especially when returning to the property at night.
