The apartment was great and had everything we needed. The upstairs bed was comfortable, but the downstairs one wasn’t great. The upstairs bathroom also had occasional issues with water pressure but we just showered downstairs where it wasn’t ever an issue. All in all would recommend and would stay again.

We had a fantastic week in Porto and Marc’s place had a lot to do with it. First of all, the location couldn’t have been better. We were so central to everything that our average walk was only 20 minutes and the longest was 45. I was a bit concerned about the hills in Porto, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The apartment was perfect for two couples! Comfortable beds, lots of closet space, great kitchen and a perfect table to play some bridge.

Location is great. Short walk to many good shops, restaurants etc. Apartment is large and was great for two couples. Very clean and comfortable. Elevator is a bonus. Being on the top floor the river view is awesome. A larger coffee maker would have been appreciated but not really an issue. We enjoyed our stay.

Marc is an excellent host. He answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The place is ideal located within walking distance to the river and restaurants and shops. The view from the living room overlooking the town square is amazing. The river view from the bedroom balcony was breathtaking. If you are looking for a place that is close to the Porto wine makers you need to stay here. When I come back to Porto I will definitely look at staying here. Thanks Marc for a great experience in Porto.

Awesome location! Perfect location for wandering around Porto & the Douro River front. Apartment was clean & bed upstairs was comfortable. Downstairs bed was ok but a bit hard/firm. Apartment is on the 5th floor with views from the balconies. (There's one level of stairs before you reach the elevator to the apartment. There's also stairs to the bedroom upstairs with the King size bed.) The balcony off that upstairs bedroom has great views of the Douro River. We enjoyed our stay & would definitely stay there again.
