    The plaza and street can be a bit noisy, but the rear of the building is very quiet.

    The manager was very approachable and spoke good English. She also provided a custom designed map with good nearby restaurants and other services. The room was large, with vintage furniture, a fridge and cook plate, microwave and supplies for coffee and tea.

    There was some noise from cars on the street side. It is good to know that reservations are required for the popular restaurants.

    Our Hostess was extraordinary! She was kind beyond belief! She was very helpful in many situations! Everything was well prepared in advance for a wonderful stay! The location turned out to be very convenient (walking distance) for our plans! And it was easy to find for Bolt drivers!

    Quirky, spacious, great place to stay

    The kitchen amenities (kettle, sink, fridge etc)were behind large floor to wall wooden framed glass cabinets. To access the kitchen amenities you had to open these large glass doors which got in the way and there was the constant fear of knocking into them and breaking the glass.

    I liked that it had two separate bedroom areas. The main bedroom was huge and had en suite toilet and sink. It was very clean and well furnished. It was definitely quirky but in a really cool way especially in that it had a record player. The location was nice and quiet but close enough to walk to the centre.

    Our room is facing the garden, which means it is next to the street. It is a bit noisy in the night even you close all the windows. Another issue is that we found little black bugs on the bed, it scared me a little bit. Not sure if it's normal here but I don't usually see these in the UK (probably because of the weather).

    The location is great, and i like the design and facilities in the room. Daily cleaning was provided including laundry services, which is really nice!

    Nothing to dislike

    Great apartment decorated beautifully! My apartment was cleaned every day and stocked with coffee. Great style and amazing hospitality! Also has a hand made map to help you plan your visit to Porto! And a little bottle of port as a welcome on my arrival. It's very close to the metro to get to the city centre and to the airport. Has a super market very close that is open until 9 pm if you need to get any groceries .I had a lovely time, everything was excellent!😊

The location was very good for walking to the city centre and there were important amenities nearby (cafes, restaurants, a mercado, and a beautiful park across the street.

    Pillows were a bit too hard.

    Welcome message and drink from the host. Great location, close to city centre. A few minutes walk from metro connecting to airport. Bus stop just a few steps away. Tea & coffee facility, microwave and plates provided. The host Lady very nice, provided the map and recommendations. She always promptly responded to all queries. Next door there is a cafe. Also supermarket that works 7 days a week. Highly recommended for any type of stay.

    No fault of the property's but it was a bit of a walk to the train station up a big hill so was a good workout!

    The room was incredible. Big space, super comfortable bed and air conditioning. Ines got another single bed in to accommodate 3 of us and worked around our early check in which was lovely. The port on arrival was an unexpected bonus!

    An air condition would be a very good addition especially for warm weather of summer days. However, with open windows the room was cool enough.

    Everything was perfect. The room was big, clean and very comfortable and the staff was very kind. Our room was ready two hours before the check in and we will definitely prefer it for next time.

    We like the accommodation very much. The room was spacy and clean and the bed was comfortable. There is a little fridge with filtered water and even a little kitchenette and an extra toilet. We also appreciated port wine as a welcome drink. There is self-check-in/out so we didn't worry about delays. Next door is a nice bistro for breakfast. The center of Porto is within walking distance. It's a beautiful and well-maintained property and I could recommend it to everyone.
