This apartment was in an ideal location. An easy walk everywhere, comfortable beds, and port wine and snacks provided by the host. Good communication during our stay and good tips for sight seeing and restaurants from the host. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that the sink connection in the kitchen was broken and there was a sewage smell in the kitchen until it was fixed. But this stuff happens, and I would recommend this apartment for your Porto trip!

Very disappointed

Overall good location but because of the high temperatures currently in Porto, the apartment was unbearable. Two fans in constant use barely made a difference - sweating all night is not my idea of comfort. Because of the smoking from adjacent apartments and noise from the street, it was impossible to leave windows open. No ceiling fans either - ridiculous. This unit was priced only 20 less than a 5 star hotel we were able to transfer to which includes a suite, beach access, elevator, A/C, breakfast included, 2 pools, etc. We recommend due diligence before booking this highly overpriced and overrated apartment. We had to vehemently complain to get released early from this booking. Owner finally gave us a partial refund but it was a huge disappointment all around. Owner even wanted more tax paid at the end than was advertised on her website- a complete misrepresentation. If you book this place, good luck trying to use Uber. Street is so narrow most, if not all, drivers will refuse to drive here.

The apartment was is the perfect location for our daytime activities and evening dinners. There was a small grocery within a 5 minute walk. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, and having access to laundry was wonderful. The listing does state there is a hot tub, but there is not one on site.Ani made check in easy with the key available in a lock box and communication was great. We would definitely stay here again if back in Porto.

Ideal old town flat

The flat is well appointed and in a great location for exploring Porto on foot. In addition to the wine bar which is directly outside the front door, we enjoyed the restaurant, Orpheu, which is a stone’s throw away on the same street. You can time your visit by checking the queue from the flat’s excellent balcony. You’ll have to walk a whole additional minute to get to Castro for some outstanding pastel de nata. Ani’s communication and tips were excellent and gratefully received. If I’ve encountered a more helpful host in my lifetime, I can’t remember them!

Apartment in Porto

The apartment was wonderful - very modern and spacious. Ani welcomed us and shared the details of the apartment when we arrived. It was very central to the sites and restaurants of Porto. It is located in a significant hill and up two flights of stairs (no elevator) so it would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it.
