Guest Reviews
- MARIA JOSE (10/5): -
- Toos (8/5): Heerlijke accomodatie - Heel ruim en comfortabel ; compleet en schoon Lift defect (niet erg overigens)
- Mohammed (10/5): ممتازة - الموقع ممتاز لمن يحب وسط المدينة ، الشارع حي طول اليوم عدا اوقات الليل المتأخرة وكل شيء يبعد عنك دقائق وساخة الستائر والغرفة من الداخل والبلكونة
- Geoffrey (6/5): Has everything you need but noisy because you are in the centre - Central location Noise pollution & rough sleepers outside
- Jakub (8/5): - Perfekcyjna lokalizacja, ciężko o lepszą w Porto!
Dosłownie kilkadziesiąt metrów dalej jest najlepsza pastelarnia w Porto.
Bardzo wygodne łóżka.
- Clare (8/5): Comfortable stay in good location - Location was good. We were able to cook meals and it was roomy. Bed was comfortable. All was good but a cutting board would have been handy.
- Jose Antonio (8/5): HEMOS ESTADO MUY CÓMODOS VIAJANDO EN PAREJA - La ubicación era excelente para moverte por la ciudad. Te permitía llegar andando a cualquier parte en apenas 10 minutos andando. La decoración de la habitación era muy actual y bonita. Nosotros hacíamos el desayuno allí antes de salir y tenía de todo para usar en la pequeña cocina (aunque faltaba un exprimidor, pero esto sólo si querías zumo). Al ser un lugar tan céntrico tenía el ruido de la calle por la noche, quizás faltaba algo de insonorización, pero tras el día de cansancio visitando la ciudad, descansamos genial en la fantástica cama.
- Lucie (9/5): Super endroit - Emplacement idéal, spacieux, lumineux.
Bien amenagé. Canapé-lit sans doute vieillissant, ressorts très bruyants.
- Constanza (10/5): -
- Manuel (10/5): -
- Kłoda (9/5): Opinia - Lokalizacja Zdjęcia w internecie odbiegały od rzeczywistości. Apartament był zużyty i wymaga remontu. Ale za tą cenę ok.
- Jacinto (10/5): Estancia inmejorable - La ubicación es fabulosa. El apartamento estupendo en cuanto a limpieza y estado. La zona muy entretenida y llegada una hora prudente, silencio y tranquila. La atención de Carolina muy buena, de diez. La única pega y no tiene apenas importancia, es que vendría muy bien un espejo más aparte de el del baño.
- Eldar (10/5): Clean appartment in the heart of Porto suitable for family of 4 - It is located in the heart of the old town. Street musicians play nice songs in front of the building, so I recommend to go outside in the evening, take a glass of porto and in the nearest restaurant and chill out.
Appartment was clean and spacious, kitchen is well equipped, too.
- Wanessa (10/5): Apartamento completo em ótima localização - A localização é ideal, permite fazer todos os passeios a pé e aproveitar a Ribeira no fim de tarde ou à noite todos os dias. É uma localização segura para viajantes mulheres.
O apartamento é confortável e moderno. O banheiro é ótimo.
O check in sem a necessidade de encontrar um anfitrião é muito conveniente. As instruções recebidas são precisas e fáceis de seguir.
O contato com a empresa que administra o imóvel foi sempre solícito. O único problema do apartamento (unidade 04) é o ruído do trânsito na rua dos fundos do prédio, que tem muito trânsito, inclusive com fluxo de ônibus. As janelas não têm isolamento sonoro. Provavelmente os apartamentos da frente, que dão para uma rua de pedestres, são mais tranquilos.
Senti falta de um espelho de corpo inteiro.
Mesmo com esses detalhes, eu voltaria a me hospedar nesse local (apenas escolheria um apartamento voltado para a Rua dr. Sousa Viterbo).
- Maria (10/5): Perfetto per la posizione e ambienti molto spaziosi - Posizione e arredamento
- Sake (8/5): Goede plek met heel veel trappen - De locatie is fantastisch, midden in het centrum.
Het appartement en vooral het woon en eetgedeelte is erg mooi en handig ingericht
Je kijkt uit op de cathedraal Het appartement is toegankelijk met erg veel trappen en ook in het appartement zijn veel trappen zonder leuning. In de hal is wel een lift, maar die maakt heel veel lawaai, waardoor we die liever niet wilden gebruiken.
Er waren enorm veel muggen. Een hor voor de ramen zou een fijne oplossing zijn. Nu moesten we de ramen veel dichthouden en vooral in de kleine slaapkamer was dat erg benauwd.
- Luis Manuel (8/5): - Um pouco barulhento, mas compensado pela ótima localização, visto estar pertíssimo dos sitio mais procurados. Voltarei a procurar o mesmo apartamento quando voltar.
- gayle (10/5): - Great location. Great view up to the cathedral. Lovely decor. Master bedroom was really lovely. Single bedroom was very small and only had a very high up, small window so a bit stuffy.
- Sharon (7/5): Good location, clean apartment but too many stairs - Clean & comfortable Lift located on 1st floor so still have to drag bags up 2 flights of stairs to get to it. Lift itself was very tiny not good if you’re claustrophobic. Also big flight of stairs in the apartment to get up to the bedrooms. We left our bags in the living room & only took up necessities. Not a good apartment choice if you don’t like stairs.
- Shane (10/5): Clean, central, easy to find, communicative staff and well organised apartment - Extremely clean and central.
- Alan (8/5): Enjoyable - Location Lack of handrail on stairs from kitchen/ living room to bedrooms.
- Trklja (10/5): -
- Ingeborg (8/5): Een prima plek voor een bezoek aan Porto. - De locatie. Je zit midden in de stad en bent overal dichtbij. Het was erg gehorig. Als er mensen elders in het pand vertrokken kon je dat horen (ik sliep in de woonkamer op de slaapbank)
- ina (9/5): - Great location. Easy check inn. Great and quick communication with hosts.
- Cameron (10/5): A perfect apartment for exploring porto, I hope we can return. - The apartment felt roomy and bright, we loved the balcony and hearing the hustle and bustle of the street below. The location was perfect, easy access to so many beautiful sites in Porto like ribeira and the steps to the viewpoint over the douro. We loved it. Nothing :)
- Simon Condon (9/5): - Traditional Portuguese apartment with the iconic balcony. Location was perfect for us, restaurants and bars nearby then a short walk to the river for all of the attractions. Beautiful city and would recommend a visit.
- Martin (8/5): - Sehr gute zentrale Lage.
Einfacher Self Check-In Nebenan ist ein Musik-Club.
Die Straße ist stark befahren und hat Kopfsteinpflaster.
Nachts zu laut.
- Eva (6/5): - Lage Schlechte Ausstattung Küche. Minikühlschrank völlig unzureichend. Möbel abgewohnt und altbacken.
- Louise (10/5): - The apartment and location was excellent, it had everything we could have needed and within walking distance of everything and a stones throw from the river. Self check in and out too which is handy for late arrival or early check out. Brilliant find for the price. Not a negative for me but maybe for others, be prepared for stairs as the lift is very small and slow
- Elias (9/5): Geschäftsreise mit einer Gruppe von Freunden - Geschäftsreise mit einer Gruppe von Freunden Glascontainer vor dem Haus
- Jannicke (8/5): Sentral og ren leilighet - Kjempesentral beliggenhet. Rent og fint, og praktisk system for inn- og utsjekk. Kjøkkenet var fint og godt utstyrt. Sengene var veldig harde, og det var en del støy fra gaten på kveldstid.
- Juan Santiago (5/5): -
- Toft (10/5): -
- Nataša (9/5): -
- Mary (10/5): Lovely and very central apartments - Very central accommodation, near restaurants and bars and river, including ferry taxi to Port Houses.
Property was clean, beds were comfy - nice bathroom and kitchen lounge/diner.
Great air conditioning and massive water windows with shutters and a balcony. Small lift from 1st floor upwards for one person and a case.
- Fiona (10/5): A perfect apartment to stay in for a city break. Can't wait to visit Porto again. - What a gorgeous apartment. High ceilings, lots of space, clean, clean sheets and towels, shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom, all we needed in the kitchen and lovely furnishings. We even had a little balcony to look out over the street.
Communications were brilliant. There was always someone on the other end of messages through the Booking.com app or Whatsapp to help us out. We dealt with Carolina during our stay and she was fantastic.
This was my first time visiting Porto and I didn't know what part of the city to stay in. A friend recommended the Ribera neighbourhood and we found this apartment. It is probably in one of the nicest parts of the city. With everything on your doorstep. Restaurants, bars, boutique shops, close to the river and within walking distance of everything.
We're both vegan and and gluten-free and I felt like all the best vegan places were all within 10 minutes walk of the apartment. I think we tried them all during our stay! Kind Kitchen, Nola Kitchen, Noshi, Honest Greens and Hungry Biker. They're not all fully-vegan places, but all have vegan options (and gluten free). These are two tine points of note. I would start by saying; these wouldn't stop me staying here again. Felt very lucky to have found such a nice apartment.
We were there a week so it would have been handy for us to have facilities to wash our clothes in the apartment, but we took them to a nearby laundrette which worked out perfectly.
Like any city, it can be noisy. The street itself is pedestrian so it was pretty quiet but during our stay there were roadworks at the other end of the street which started early each morning. Closing the windows and shutters blocked most of the noise and I'm sure we were just unlucky that it was happening that week.
- Gerry (9/5): Superb -
- Raphael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mienke (8/5): Lovely apartment in vibey area - Access to the apartment was easy using the instructions provided. The apartment is in a very vibey area and walking distance to restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. The aircons did not cool the rooms. They might have been out of gas or needed a service. Fortunately there was a fan we could use during the night.
- Gina (4/5): I was very disappointed. The pictures of the apartment I pad for was not the reality when I arrived in Porto - Great location The property was not what it was advertised as on booking .com
I DID NOT get the apartment I pad for :((((
It was not the same in the pictures
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location. Inside of building was clean, well lit and pleasant. Code and key access worked very smoothly. Apartment clean and bright and as shown in website photos.
- Vittorio (9/5): Overall, absolutely positive - The brightness of the rooms. Flat close to most important places No oven
- Mykola (10/5): Exceptional - It was an unbelievable experience.
Modern hotel in the city center close by to all tourist's attractions.
Fully equipped kitchen with coffee and tea great bonus. It is not about hotel but bear in mind that parking close by a bit expensive
I have paid 64 euro for less then 24 hours. 😀
With compare other city in Portugal max 20 euro for 24 hours or even free.
- Sofia (8/5): Spacey flat on prime location - We stayed one night and enjoyed the central location of the flat. Everything was on our doorstep.
The flat was spacey and clean but we wish it would have had an oven too in the kitchenette.
Quite noisy surroundings due to the downtown location, so nothing for noise sensitive guests.
Would definitely recommend.
- Khai (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marios (9/5): Value for money choice - Excellent location. The apartment is very close to the most important attractions including the river (with amazing views and happenings during the whole day) and other cozy places to take your breakfast/lunch/dinner or even have a nice drink listening to live music.
The apartment is relatively big, well maintained with a good taste of decoration and sufficiently equipped.
Finally, I would like to give an extra credit for the attention we received from Carolina. The information we received prior to our arrival were very clear and explanatory as well as her messages during our stay to make sure that everything works fine and to offer any additional advice we might need. It’s not the most quiet area, both from outside during the day(which is not of a big problem because most of the time you are out) and inside as the isolation between the different levels (ground floor 1st floor etc) is poor.
As I mentioned this is not of a big problem overall, considering the location and the size of the apartment.
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kleanthi (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the decoration and the location of the apartment. Our host Carolina was superhelpful. NA
- Valerija (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, nice interior, friendly and helpful staff
- Valerija (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ani (10/5): Magical! - Everything was absolutely perfect! The accommodation deserves a 10,000 out of 10! The view—I'm completely in love with it. Opening the window, I didn’t even need to step outside to take in the beauty of the city; it was right there, right in front of me! If I ever return to Porto, I’ll make sure to stay here again without a doubt. A huge thank you to the friendly and wonderful staff for making the experience even more special.
Thanks again!
- Deborah (8/5): Good base for exploring Porto, just take ear plugs whilst metro works underway. - The property is large, with rooms set across a couple of floors. It’s bright and clean, with good facilities. There are lots of great shops/restaurants nearby. The property itself is quiet, with a secure entrance. The location is amazing but unfortunately the metro construction works are right outside the window (carry on overnight) and we were sleeping on the sofa bed. It wasn’t such an issue if you were up in the bedrooms.
- Odair (6/5): Pleasant -
- Henricus (9/5): Perfect value for money - Very nice location. A bit noisy in the night on Friday
- Joann (9/5): Superb - Location was excellent. A/c made it very comfortable Lots of stairs
- Cherryl (8/5): Very good - Superb location. Very close and accessible to good restaurants, shops and mini market. The location of our room is in the third floor.
It’s a challenge to walk up with a big and heavy luggages.
- Diane (10/5): Location and room were perfect! - LOCATION WAS PERFECT! Close to everyone. The room was great, the tall windows they opened out for fresh air and a view of the area. The amenities were wonderful!
- Keti (9/5): Superb - Great location, very helpful and responsive staff.
- Sinead (5/5): Noisiest place we've ever stayed. - The Location of the property was excellent and it is a lovely, spacious apartment. The noise! There is a lot of construction going on and it went on through the night. The recycling station outside the apartment was so noisy! It was being used throughout the night and then emptied very early in the morning. We had the apartment for a week so a change of towels would have been good. You could have them at an extra charge. A mirror in the bedroom and a dishcloth in the kitchen would be useful.
- Fabio (7/5): Good - The location right in the city center. Be careful because the access road is pedestrian and unloading the car could be complex given the difficulty in stopping in the surrounding streets. Management of the accommodation:
1) Third floor apartment: elevator failure communicated only together with the check-in instructions.
2) Check-in instructions provided only after paying the tourist tax (first time the tax is requested before or it will be impossible to access the apartment)
3) Broken air conditioning: although the manager was aware of it, the fault was not communicated. The apartment was equipped with fans to make up for the lack of A/C, but they were very noisy: impossible to use them at night.
4) Basic state of maintenance: many elements, especially in the bathrooms, are affected by years of use and need renovation.
- Maria (9/5): Super stay in an excellent location, right in the most interesting area of Porto! - The location is perfect. In the centre of the city, nice neighbourhood near the most interesting parts of it. So close to the Cais da Ribeira, to the Ponte and so many choices for restaurants bar, cafes and also other shops nearby. (By the way, very nice restaurant exactly on the opposite side of the road...). Bright and spacious apartment with very nice decoration, especially the bedroom. It is quite comfortable even for four persons (2 persons can sleep on the sofa-bed, which is o.k.). The bathroom is modern and spacious. Very clean. Kitchen with several equipment. Everything in the apartment was very nice. There is nothing we didn't like. The only thing I would like to mention, is that maybe the hosts can find a more covenient way for paying the city tax, because, given that there is no reception and there's on line check-in, the tax payment must be done through bank transfer before the arrival, which can become somehow complicated (it became for us...).
- Eugena (10/5): Large central apartment in the perfect location - Great apartment! Cool and central location, big apartment, kitchen space, clean and comfortable. Right in the centre of the city, close to lots of restaurants and the water front. Easy instructions to access the apartment and staff available by WhatsApp - easily contactable. Great stay!
- Liron (7/5): No air conditioning on Aug, too many stairs to the bedroom - The location is great, close to all attractions, making it easy to explore the city. While there is some construction noise nearby, it was still quite manageable. Our stay at this apartment had several issues. The air conditioning didn't work during our August stay, making it very hot. Despite our complaints, the staff only provided a fan and didn't fix the problem. Opening windows was not an option due to construction noise and mosquitoes. The layout was inconvenient with too many stairs to the bedroom, and the elevator was broken, making the third-floor location difficult. The bathroom sink was clogged, and the apartment showed signs of poor maintenance, like a falling bedroom curtain. If you stay here in the summer, ensure the air conditioning is working.
- Susan (7/5): Heeat location and size - Great location, and plenty of room The air conditioner was a problem.
It leaked and stopped working during the stay. Text came the day we left.
- Kayla (10/5): Perfect location, spacious apartment, clean and comfortable! - Awesome location
Easy communication about codes and key location
A/C unit
Coffee machine and kettle
Balcony
Living room and kitchen table Streets could be a little loud late at night, I would have brought ear plugs had I realized
- Niamh (8/5): Very good - The location was fantastic No full lenght mirror
- Cristina (5/5): Will not repeat - Location and space Elevator (3rd floor apartment) and air conditioning not working for the full stay. Basin clogging, curtains falling…
- Michela (10/5): Exceptional - The location is excellent in the city centre. Close to everything and very nice cafes nearby. We experienced the festival of Sao Joao. Our hostess was very helpful. Would definitely recommend in the future.
- Katarína (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alessandra (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was very nice and bright.
The position is excellent.
- Yasmin (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, lovely spacious flat. Comfortable bed and shower. Wish I could have stayed longer! Carolina was great, thanks for the guidance. Lift wasn’t working during my 24h stay but was being fixed. Only 2 flights up the stairs and was swift.
- Otar (10/5): Great location, great apartment - Place is huge, with big rooms and windows, a lot of light comes in, apartment was clean, well-equipped and very beautiful. Location is great, in the heart of the city, close to everything.
- Yoghiduke (8/5): Very good - Location is very good to explore the city. Apartment is small but cozy, with the basic kitchenette appliance needed for city break. Check in instructions did not arrive directly and on time for the check in, but with a call everything was solved. No big issue.
- Bostjan (9/5): Superb -
- Veronika (8/5): Very good - The apartment is in the vibrant city center and the whole building is actually rented out. You have an elevator (slow one), but you still have to use stairs to elevator and from elevator to the apartment. It was not a problem, just keep in mind. We had 2 bedroom apartment (2 toilets, too) and it had many stairs in it.
Only one room is an original one with great big windows and a nice view, all others are the result of a design solution for an attic. The apartment was though clean and nice, but not crispy fresh. A small kitchen was also avalaible, basics were there.
There are contsruction works all around due to new metro line, in some reviews we read about the noise. We were not bothered at all.
You have to pay a city tax in advance and then you get a code for the lock box, so you can check-in any time you want to.
- Jessica (6/5): Okay but maybe not suitable for 4 people! - Lovely character property in a great location which was easy to access and close to everything! Beds were so uncomfortable we didn’t sleep very well and really limited bedding. No coat hooks or towel rails so it didn’t really work for a group of people staying there. Also the bathroom was very small and only one mirror in the whole apartment so it made getting ready difficult.
- Radi (9/5): Superb -
- Lesley (9/5): Great location , great apartment, some street noise - Great location , can’t be beat! Apartment was on the second floor but stairs are wide . Kitchen was well equipped, bed and sofa bed fine. Loved the high ceilings and shutters. Communication with staff was prompt and professional. Unfortunately it is on a street with large recycling bins that local restaurants throw their bottles in between 10-12 pm. Garbage pick up is around 4 am . Nice place if you are a heavy sleeper.
- Jan (8/5): Faisama - This was a great location. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. Staff was responsive. The shower had shampoo, conditioner and body soap which was really nice. The toilet seat and toilet paper holder could use some work. They're loose. Paper holder fell apart.
- Chris (9/5): Superb - Location was perfect, lovely balcony, comfortable apartment with good appliances. Staff were attentive via WhatsApp throughout our stay The pillows weren't the most comfortable but that is probably because we were not used to them. Also the only mirror was the bathroom mirror
- Marcos (8/5): Very good -
- Marion (8/5): Very good - Location
Overall good for a few days only Noise (walls in the property are super thin)
Lack of space for 5 people due to the sofa bed
- Kundzier (10/5): Exceptional - My stay in this apartment was fantastic. The location was superb, offering convenience and accessibility. The spacious layout provided a comfortable atmosphere, and the apartment was equipped with everything one might need. Overall, a delightful experience that exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
- Christopher (9/5): Superb -
- Igor (10/5): Excellent - The bedroom was really nice and bed comfortable.
The key system works really well and makes everything easier. N/a

- Julie (9/5): Superb -
- Diana (7/5): Good - The location The location is really great, check-in is easy as well as the communication with the host.
Have in mind that pictures on Booking can be a bit misleading. Apparently they are a mixture of several properties managed by the hosts and you cannot understand what exactly you have booked. However, if you are interested on booking you can always ask the host for details before that. This particular property has one living room with sofa bed on the first floor and one double bedroom and a single bedroom on the second. According to Booking.com it is a 2 bathroom apartment , but actually it has one bathroom and a toilet. Both of them ,as well as the second floor bedrooms, are small even for normal sized people. The place is a bit dark, because the upper floor bedrooms’ windows are smaller than the standard sizes and on the first floor there are 4 really big windows but covered with some kind of semi-transparent curtains staying permanently closed. Some additional locker or night stand will be really helpful especially for the double bedroom on the second floor. It was a bit challenging for 2 people to organise their luggage on 4 small hangers and 2 narrow shelves. There is only one tower hanger in the bathroom for a place that accommodates up to 5 people.
The propriety also needs slight refreshment but overall it is ok for a short stay having in mind that you don’t spend much time inside.
- Jalaluddin (9/5): Superb - The location was perfect to see the tourist side of Porto, and for access to multiple places to eat. The team was very responsive to our queries, and was able to accommodate our early check in request at short notice. The second bedroom has very little ventilation
- Oktay (6/5): Great location and good staff; wrong information - Location, They said two barhroom with shower, but there is only one shower
- Lauri (7/5): Good - central location, close to transportation hubs construction works of the metro line going on all night long
- Marthinus (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely apartment. Great location.
- Quey (7/5): Good -
- Claudia (7/5): Good -
- Susan (8/5): Very good -
- Ava (8/5): Very good - Great location, lovely apartment, easy access and hosts were very helpful. Unfortunately there was some construction noise that went through the night from the road. We are heavy sleepers so didn’t mind much.
- Susan (7/5): Good - Nice apartments in a great location. There was construction from the city because they are installing a new metro line. They were conducting explosions underground under the property. It was very much a surprise. The construction was also noisy for much of the night. I feel the hosts should have informed/warned us prior to arrival and certainly before we experienced the explosions.
- Michael (6/5): Ñever again - Only the location.
Very poor communication with agency. No cleaning or repelishment of tea coffee sugar toilet paper towels and bed linen.
- Cristina (10/5): We had a great stay, very comfortable, and had everting in walking distance. Absolutely great! - We are a family of 4 ( 2 kids ages 8y and 11y) and we enjoyed the apartment very much. Very spacious, very clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. Clean towels, toiletries; kitchen had everting needed in case we wanted to cook.
The location is great as it is close to all restaurants, patios, and historical sites. There was construction in the area, but this was just unfortunate for us, not a negative for the apartment, as it is out of their control. ( we were there mid/end Aug 2023)
it was easy to get the key, and to communicate with the host.
We found public parking 1 min away from the place in an underground garage. the garbage gets picked up early in the morning, and it may be a bit noisy, for a short amount of time. Did not bother us, as most of us are not light sleepers.
- Darren (5/5): Basic apartment with no luxuries but in a good location. - The only thing we really liked was the location of the apartment. It is a short walking distance from the bridge and other touristic points. There is a big construction project beside, under the hotel and around the city, due to an expansion of the subway line in Porto. They are using dynamite and you can hear explosions inside the apartment, even with the windows closed, scaring us. We felt the windows and floor shaking.
The air conditioning was not working well and the refrigerator is very tiny. The apartment is managed by some people whose main motive id cutting costs. The online check-in and access to the apartment key out sie the door is very efficient but given the circumstances a personal reception would have been welcomed. Also, the apartment is very basic inside and a few more details and comforts would have been greatly appreciated.
