    Bed was absolutely uncomfortable and didn't have enough blankets, so we had 4 cold nights. The stroller wouldn't fit the elevator, so it was useless for us. Not enough waste bags, so we had to solve that issue ourselves, not cool.

    Location was absolutely extraordinary, best there could be in downtown Porto. Valentim was very nice. We had a feeding chair for the baby (parents you know how useful this is) and a really confty crib for him

    Handy apartment for our stay in Porto

    • One-Bedroom Apartment (6 Adults)

    Not a dislike exactly, but be aware that there is only one bedroom in this apartment. The four bunk beds are located in an alcove that is connected to the kitchen/dining/living area with no door. As a family of four, this wasn't a problem for us, but light and noise wise there is the potential for disturbing those using the bunk beds when accessing the bathroom or the kitchen/dining/living area at night. We were on the ground floor so you may hear the nearby wine bar (?) during Friday/Saturday nights.

    This apartment is a handy location... not in the heart of the historic centre but within a 15m walk (or a short car ride) of most of the sights, and relatively close to a mini-mart and a number of really good cafes, restaurants and shops. The host provided plenty of information that assisted in planning our time in Porto, was friendly, and quick to respond when we needed new towels etc. during our five night stay.

    Valerie contacted us upon our arrival in Porto and supplied us with full instructions to get to apartment. Upon arrival he was there to meet us and show us to the accommodation and the facilities. No keys are issued as it is all key codes which saves the stress of carrying keys around. The apartment was immaculate and everything needed for our stay was provided including a list of cafe's and restaurants in various price ranges, also transport options and tourist facilities. The accommodation is.at the quieter end of a main street so not far to walk to reach everything. Oh and plenty of t.v. channels if that's your thing.. we had a fabulous stay and would high recommend.

    The apartment was very clean and modern, PERFECTLY located just outside the city center but easily walkable. We were there over the weekend and didn't hear any noise at night. The staff was super responsive and easy to coordinate with, the checkin process was very easy. There was one big bed in a bedroom, and one sofa bed in the living room. There was even a little balcony.

    The terrace is a bit small, but I would still consider it as a plus as in this area not all buildings have such an option.

    Very good location - you are in the central area at walkable distance to the sightseeing places and variety of restaurants and bars, at the same time easily reachable if you are with a car. The apartment is equipped as described, so no surprises there. The host Valentim was very kind and helpful providing us the information we needed at that time.

    The bathroom was a little narrow so not ideal for larger people. On cold cloudy days the water heater had to be turned on for a while before a taking shower.

    Great location, 5 minutes from both Trindade and Bolhao stations. Very clean, and the staff is friendly. Kitchen was equipped with kitchenware and cookware, microwave, oven, electric cooktop, and a normal size refrigerator. There was a dishwasher in the apartment, and a shared washing machine in the building.
