This was such a lovely place to stay! Very much as advertised, it was clean and cute with a charming view of the cobblestone street and helpful things like a washingmachine, Keurig with complementary tea and coffee and hairdryer + makeup wipes. Conveniently located to some delicious restaurants, cool shops, a happening public square and just a jaunt down to the river. The service from Eva and Dani was excellent - they even helped me with the return of my baggage that arrived late, for which I am very grateful! This was a wonderful place to stay and I would gladly stay here again!

Great Apartment!
Wonderful and modern apartment located in a nice spot downtown close to river in Porto. We are a family of 5 and it had everything we could need. Street parking could be tricky but we got lucky. Our contact was named Daniela who took great care of us and was a pleasure to deal with. We would stay there again

Un edificio deprimente y sucio, la calle está en construcción y no pueden acceder vehículos , la entrada huele mal y son 47 escalones a 45° de pendiente. La habitación es aceptable pero de ninguna manera es un hotel,es una habitación para alquiler. No volvería a hospedarme en este lugar.

Alles war gut. Wir würden wiederkommen. Man muss nur wissen, dass das Appartement im 3. Stock nur über Stufen zu erreichen ist. Es gibt keinen Aufzug.

I absolute love the appartment. 2 bathrooms , one beautiful kitchen, Laundry machine , one queen sofa bed, 1 bedroom with comfortable mattress , SUPER CLEAN. Extra blankets and pillows! Lots of the city information/ maps under the TV ! -just keep in mind it’s on a 3rd floor, no elevator and no AC. I was happy having the window open to fresh air. You can hear the neighbor music but I think someone complained and it was quiet for the rest of the time. Very happy, very beautiful place, great communication. Amazing bakery in the corner open at 7.30am!
This apartment is tucked away down a narrow side street and does not look much from the outside, however, inside we found a spacious, clean & very well equipped apartment with everything you would need for a short break. It is in a great location for all the tourist attractions and the bars restaurants down by the river are just a few minutes walk away.
Our host Daniela was excellent meeting us at the property at the agreed time and maintaining contact throughout our stay to ensure all was well.
Just one note of caution, this apartment is in a block with other apartments and one night we suffered from some noisy neighbours, but I suppose that could happen anywhere and was just the one night out of four.
The property was full of Character . Very clean . 2 bathrooms, every gadget you wanted. Bottle of wine was a nice touch.
The number of stairs to reach the apartment were a bit of an issue. Very steep and we 50 of them. We managed but this should be mentioned in the description .
All in all a very nice stay in an apartment that was in a great location.
Large, spacious, clean, well decorated apartment in great central area. Two bathrooms and in-room laundry facilities were great perks. Owner was friendly and helpful, with great recommendations. Walls are thin so noise from stairwell and other apartments carries a bit, but not too bad. Check-in was a bit confusing (it wasn't clear from booking there is no on-site reception - we arrived at property, could not get into building, no check-in information available). However we loved our stay overall and would stay here again.
