D. João IV Apartments by LovelyStay

It was central. It was clean inside

Red light area on one side and horrible bar on the other. The outside area is filthy with beer bottles, plastic rubbish and of course vomit from the patrons of the bar. Also seems to be where men relieve their bladders on the walk home. Also a word of caution (something I missed as I had to swap from a smaller place to fit our expanding party) there is NO air conditioning. One fan is provided but that’s no use when there are 2 bedrooms. We had to buy two as the heat apartment was unbearable. For the life of me I can’t understand how this property has such a high rating. I’m sorry to say it was a big disappointment

The apartment was nice, clean, spacious and with a lot of natural lights from the roof window. We really felt comfortable. It had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a living room with a kitchen. The kitchen was well equipped, we had everything we needed. The location was good, not far to the city center and a shopping center with groceries. We received a welcome package (wine and buscuits), that was very kind. And I loved the toiletries provided (shampoo, body wash, lotion). To sum it up, we were very happy with our stay.

It’s a very nice apartament, very clean and modern. Perfect for 2 people. It was exactly as pictured, except for the terrace, unfortunately ours didn’t have one, but aside from that the place was impecable. Also very grateful for the nice detail of leaving wine & cookies!

Cosy stay, really enjoyed it.

Looked even nicer and was more spacious than the pictures! We enjoyed staying here very much :) Good location and very convenient to have the kitchen and washing machine!

It was quite warm inside but with the windows open very noisy at night so it could be difficult to sleep

The location was great, everything you want to see in Porto is walking distance and the beds were comfortable

There was a strong scent of mold in the hallway. The walls of the apartment were dirty and the couch was dirty as well. The railing wasn’t sturdy and you couldn’t hold on to it when going on the second floor because it would shake. The towels we got were clearly very used, some were even dirty and had stains on them! There were 3 of us in the apartment but we only got 2 glasses, so someone had to drink from a mug!?! Considering everything the apartment was very disappointing, it’s not that expensive to paint the walls, buy some more glasses so that each guest has a glass which is the standard and to buy some new towels!!!

It was clean, and looked as pictured which was great! They gave clear and easy instructions to get into the place and it was such a lovely place.

My only issue was that it doesn't have AC, but it's not at all required depending on when you go. It's also a bit of a luxury there, so I'm not counting it against anything but just in case someone feels they need it. They do provide a fan which was great!

Adequately equipped for our needs, good value for money

Low speed Wi-Fi, some lights did not work in the apartment , no hooks or rack to hang up clothes
