We had a great stay here. The location was fantastic for Porto. We were just steps from the river and a 15 minute walk to the best Port tastings around. Visiting the churches and shopping was only a 10-15 minute walk in the other direction. The check in process was very smooth and efficient. The room was also clean and accessible. We would happily stay here again.

This was one of my favorite VRBO rentals for many reasons. The apartment was beautifully decorated, clean, in a great location, and air conditioned. I loved the European charm of the space and the location truly was perfect for exploring Porto. The host was easy to work with and everything went incredibly smooth. This property is a hidden gem and I would stay here again.

The location of this property was excellent. The things we did not like were, the wood floor was not very clean, the blue throw rug in the living room was filthy, the unit advertised a BBQ grill and non could be found and lastly, the refrigerator did not have even a small freezer section to make ice.

Lovely apartment, in a perfect location close to everything you want in Porto. It's really a two bedroom property, the third bed is on a mezzanine above the bathroom and kitchen but was fine for me. The two actual bedrooms are lovely, apparently, I always get the worst bed. If you only need two beds then it's perfect, if you need three be aware the 3rd is a mezzanine and basically in the living area. No complaints at all though and would definitely recommend

The apartment is exactly as listed. The central location, beautiful bright living area and extreme cleanliness was much appreciated. Step outside and find Castro Bakery for the iconic pastry da nata. Delicious! A short walk downhill brings you to the waterfront where live music and great restaurants are easy to find. Highly recommend! Thanks Marc!

Perfect location in the heart of Porto. Check-in was smooth and they took the time to walk through the apartment and answer all of our questions. The floors are very squeaky (old building) and sometimes hear the floors above us but honestly not a big deal. They use the apartment space wisely with the third room as an open air loft style which was great for our son to stay. The other 2 rooms are perfect with lots of storage. Just note parking is on the street and is difficult to get a spot. They do have parkades in the area but be prepared to pay. Thank you so much we had a wonderful stay.
