Douro River Studios

The apartment was perfect, stylish and sophisticated, very easy to be in and still relaxing. The shower in the bathroom was great and never ran out of hot water.

Could have been a little closer to town but that's just my old back complaining.

This house is truly exceptional, The view is breathtaking, you can see the beautiful river from huge windows. Waking up to such a stunning sight made our stay unforgettable, Combined with the prime location, everything we needed was just a short walk away. The space itself was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped, I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for both luxury and convenience!

The apartment was a great size with large windows overlooking the river. With the sun coming in through these windows it was a really pleasant place to spend time. We loved the neighbourhood and family run restaurants close by. Susana was a great host - very responsive to any questions and gave us loads of information regarding restaurants, public transport etc.

Nothing

Very quiet at night when windows closed. A/C works great to make the space comfortable when buttoned up. Great recommendations for local restaurants, we had a great experience. Wish we had more time.

The apartment had everything you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday. Everything was clean and fresh. The kitchen was well stocked. The bathroom had shampoo/ conditioner and nice large towels. The bed was very comfortable. There were many books and magazines about Porto. The hostess was very responsive and super helpful. The best place to just sit and watch the boats go by in the river.

We would of preferred a dedicated parking spot but we had no issue finding free parking on the street.

Susana was a fantastic host. She went above and beyond the expectations. For example, she told the taxi driver the exact drop-off location. She provided many excellent recommendations that we enjoyed! The accommodations had everything we needed for our little family, and the rooms were exceptionally clean. We enjoyed the kitchen—the fridge, microwave, and water broiler for our little one. This made making meals for her very easy. The AC unit is a wonderful addition! The views of the water were excellent and we loved all of the big windows.

Nothing that the host could change! it did rain for most of the trip but that is out of their control.

Great property, in a great location, excellent communication from our host, would strongly recommend

No negatives

Very spacious and clean with everything we could need.

The noise from the tram and the road were quite loud.

The property was nice and open. We liked that it had all you needed for a short stay. Nice to be right along the river if this is what you are looking for.

When we arrived it had not been cleaned. We did contact the host and they dealt with this immediately for us however it definitely made us feel very uncomfortable to show up to a new place in a different country and it wasn’t clean. Because of this, we felt a bit unsafe, as if someone was there or something so it just made us uncomfortable. Sleeping was difficult as it is not very soundproof and you can hear the other units coming in and out of the their doors constantly. And because of the setup it sometimes felt like they were coming into our unit because of how it echoed. We were maybe just paranoid but regardless, we just felt unsafe because of these things. The last thing I’ll say is that the bathroom seemed to have an intense odour. We couldn’t figure out what it was but then realized it may have just been the pipes. I’m sure it’s just an old city thing however it definitely was a bit off putting.

The apartment was very peaceful, beautifully decorated & in a great location, close to everything we wanted to access in our 3 days in Porto. A bonus was the restaurant downstairs - Eter - outstanding food & service. We will be recommending this property to all our friends who love to travel & are wanting somewhere authentic & next level.
