I enjoyed my time here. Although there are pros and cons… Pros first: great location, fantastic post card view from the kitchen and bath area, spacious space, good communication with the host. Cons: no elevators with steep stairs. Carpet is truly nasty looking. I hope they would invest in better flooring. It would make a big difference in this space.

We enjoyed the view and location was great! Jorge was quick to respond with any questions. Older building stairs leading to apart are very narrow, high and dirty. Hard to take luggage up. Once in apartment was ok.

The third floor apartment has quite possibly the most amazing view from any property I've stayed at in 20 years of international travel. The apartment is in an amazing location, just minutes from the Av. de Diogo Leite on the south bank of the Douro River and all of its restaurants and Port bars. The apartment has everything one would need including small kitchen. The apartment is small, suitable to only two people at most. As mentioned in other reviews, the stairs to the top are steep and narrow, something to keep in mind if mobility and/or heavy luggage are an issue

Even though there are no elevators in this building, going up the stairs to the 3rd floor was well worth it. I call it the stairway to heaven. The view is well worth the climb. Apartment was very clean, had ample hot water, and tons of supplies to make our stay comfortable. This venue is a hidden gem. We would definitely stay here again.

This property was very well positioned in a great location with walking distance to upper and lower Porto. It had an amazing view of the Duoro River and came with its own parking spot. The building was very old and the entrance was very difficult to enter. We had to climb up three flights of very narrow and dangerous stairs and there was an unpleasant odor in the hallway going up to the apartment. Once you enter the apartment it was fairly clean however you noticed how small it was as the bed barely fit into the room. The bathroom definitely required some maintenance as there appeared to be some black mold in the shower or “black silicone” which was mentioned by the owner when we reached out to them regarding our concerns after our stay. The entire unit did smell like sewage, which may be from the underlining pipes in the bathroom however, we are not sure where the smell came from. When we reached out to the owners regarding our concerns after our stay, we were basically informed that these standards are not up to “American” standards because of how tight it was and that we should have known this would be the case due to the history regarding Porto and the building status.

Amazing views-old apt with dangerous uneven stairs

The building is in poor repair andstairs are dirty and smelly. The stairs to the apartments are extremely unsafe- all different heights and widths. The floor in the living area of the apartment is sloped dramatically. Tried numerous times to contact the management and no response at all to emails or phone calls. View, cleanliness and shower are only redeeming factors.
