Gorgeous location, really not clean
The location and architecture are perfect. There were dirty dishes, someone else’s bracelet on the bedroom floor when we arrived, toothpaste smeared on the bathroom wall. Carpets and upholstery really dirty. You get the idea. With new management this could be stellar. We did tell the host about all this within our first 24 hours. No effort made to rectify. We went out and bought new linens and towels.

Great location, not so great apartment
The apartment was not cleaned well. The kitchen was dirty, the apartment was so dusty that we had trouble with allergies. The dust under the couches was 1/4 " deep, the shag carpet was dirty, the couches were dingy and saggy. The batteries on the remote control were dead. The kitchen cutlery and glasses were the cheapest you can get and limited. The apartment has no privacy - this weird added loft space bedroom sits in the middle of the apartment for all to see. You can hear the slightest noise from every room. Not a pleasant stay at all. This is not a property that I could recommend to anyone. That being said, the location was great.

The apartment has everything you need. There’s local shops to pick up any food items you want. Beautiful pastry shop downstairs on the corner. You can reach so many things on foot because of how central you are. Check in and communication was really easy. Would highly recommend

Grand apartment in a great location
The location of this apartment cannot be beat, it is right in the midst of old town Porto in a grand old building. There is an elevator to the 3rd floor apartment that is handy when you have luggage or for those with mobility issues, though the very high step off the street into the common area of the building could be an issue. The apartment is beautiful and spacious with extra tall ceilings (18’?), and a cleverly designed kitchen, 2nd bath and 3rd bedroom loft. We were glad we didn’t need the loft bedroom as there is zero privacy in it and the railing on the steps to it were not very substantial should you need to rely on it. The other two bedrooms were very nice, including comfortable mattresses and attractive furnishings. The biggest drawback—and out of the owner’s control—is the noise from the tenant on the floor above, especially in the larger bedroom. We could hear every footstep and movement they made, which isn’t a problem during waking hours, but became more annoying as we tried to sleep and continued to hear lots of noise well into the wee hours of the morning from the floor above the back bedroom. Communication with the owner was fast and flexible, letting us drop off luggage early. We were passed about from the original contact person to two other people which was not ideal—but also not a problem, they were both responsible and did not let us down.

Beautiful apartment in Central Porto
The apartment was very spacious and nicely decorated. Really well located in the heart of the Ribeira, it was easy to get to trains, and other transportation. Lots of restaurants, and places to see. After all of the hills and stairs throughout the immediate area, the elevator was a real plus at the end of the day.

beautiful apartment in old town Porto
we had a great day at Marc's beautiful apartment, it was nicely appointed iwith tall ceilings and very quiet. The master bedroom had a king bed, which was great and not easy to find in Europe. located right in the center of old town, one block from the main Street -super convenient.

Misleading advertising
Great location! The add says “parking available “ but it is 2 blocks away and cost us 174euros for a 3 day stay! Absolutely ridiculous! The woman that met us was very nice but we had no water and had to wait an hour for her to figure out how to turn it on. It also advertises that both bedrooms come with full bathrooms and AC but the 2nd room has no AC and the bathroom is probably 20-30 feet down the hall! Very disappointing! In terms of cleanliness it wasn’t overly dirty but the floors definitely could have used a vacuuming! Nothing major but overall disappointing!

This was an ideal place to stay on our first time to Porto. We could basically walk to all the major places to visit, including across the river to the Port houses. A/C was great as it was hot when we were there. Lots of great restaurants also within walking distance. Hosts were very prompt with a few minor things we needed as well. Thank you!

Great gem in Porto
Although you are on a Main Street the windows block out any noise. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. We did not do any cooking ourselves because we were so close to so many restaurants for all meals. There was an elevator for our luggage but otherwise took the stairs. The two rooms and loft were perfect for our two older teens, especially the second washroom. We would recommend this apartment. The owner was very easy to get a hold of during our stay. The arriving and leaving was smooth.

Porto stay
The apartment is beautifully furnished. location is great. Close to train station, good restaurants and river. My only negative is that the bathrooms could have been cleaner and the lack of some amenities, no cleaning supplies, paper towels etc. Nothing in the kitchen except salt, a few packets of dish washer cubes and soap, 6 sugar packets and some leftover ground coffee( I like to be able to wipe down some things before use and usually leave a place cleaner than arrival), only one trash bag. If it was a longer rental I can see buying things but not for a short 4 night stay. There is a small store nearby for basics if you are staying longer esp. for toilet paper. Would I stay there again,yes. But I would be more prepared. Porto is beautiful and the Douro Valley is a stunner.

We stayed at a number of places in Spain and Portugal in the last few weeks and this was our favorite. We loved the high ceilings and spacious rooms. The apartment was well-appointed and clean. The location was also very convenient. I would certainly recommend it.

Centrally Located
This unique, spacious property was centrally located, which was a huge plus. We felt in the heart of everything. It also had an elevator which is important for travellers with medium or large sized luggage. What would have been awesome is, if it had a washing machine too, but that’s only important if your stay there is at the beginning of your trip or the end when you are in need of doing laundry. We discovered a laundromat near by which was good. We loved our stay in Porto, it’s an amazing city.
