FLH Porto Ribeira with River View

Perfect location. Beautiful view from apartment especially at night.

Stains on curtains, extremely bad smell from the drains in the bathroom, I presume this is from being in the middle of the city but the smell was so bad it was even difficult to use the shower and definately couldn’t eat in the apartment with it.

Incredible location and the apartment had everything we needed. We cooked breakfast each morning after picking up groceries at a market a couple minutes away. There is a washing machine, toaster, stove, oven, pots, pans, utensils, space heater, a sofa bed, etc. The view from the windows and balcony were mindblowingly gorgeous and the windows and balcony doors did a great job at keeping all the noise out when closed. I only wish we’d booked a longer stay. We cannot wait to go back!

Only two small gripes: I didn’t like that we had to pick up our keys at a different location, but our Uber waited for us while we did so, so it wasn’t that big of an issue. And the only other mild annoyance was that we had to take out all our trash at the end of the stay which was inconvenient when we were rushing to catch our ride while it was raining.

Location was perfect - right down by the river will all the restaurants and buskers and entertainment underneath.

The apartment was in an an amazing location with a fantastic view of the river

Facilities were a bit basic. Very small bed.

It was a fantastic location and the apartment was clean

You need to travel an extra 20 minutes to pick up the key. It would be so much better if they had a key lock or pickup was in the same street. Not a thing extra is provided.. no salt pepper tea bags coffee nothing. We paid for 3 people and the 3rd person who was on the sofa bed had no sheets blankets pillows towel’s nothing when I contacted the host they said.. and I quote .. If you see by the capacity of the house it's suppose to only accomodate 2 persons, that's why it even has only 2 chairs…😳 yet they took my money for3 people… then they were sorry and the next day delivered the linen. Then the owner of the building a day later answered the door after I had pushed the wrong buzzer.. and wouldn’t let us in because the apartment was only do 2 people so who did I think was going to answer. Thankfully the owner of the restaurant next door sorted the situation out and we were aloud to enter. Toilet leaked from the base but there was no odours only water. Window to clothesline did not have a way of keeping it open so it was a two man job.. 1 to hold the window up and 1 to hang. Obviously not cleaned properly as there was someone else’s underwear left in my bedside table and dirt all over the pull out of the sofa bed. I don’t like to be so negative but I did let bookings.com know I was not happy and they never replied. I just believe the 3rd person deserves a refund.Note there is no Air conditioning and it is a small apartment.

The directions to the property were inadequate.

The location was vibrant with many restaurant choices on the doorstep. The performers along the river were very entertaining in the evening.

Needed an extra pillow and requested an indoor drying rack. FLH responded very quickly but didn't resolve the issue. With no AC, we kept the doors open and that proved noisy for sleeping.

Location was excellent.

Wonderfully located 1 bedroom apartment with the best view of the Ribeira. It was great to stand on the balcony and overlook the sights and sounds of the area. Good layout too, with the bedroom in the back of the apartment with a comfortable bed and spacious closets, well-sized bathroom, kitchenette and comfortable couch/table. 1st floor walk-up so only 1 set of stairs. Pretty good value for the location.

I stayed in late November and the apartment was very cold with no means of heating the apartment. I had to turn on the oven in the kitchenette and leave it on with the door open to get some heat. Was also a bit annoying having to pick up the keys a 20 minute walk from the apartment with a 30€ fee to meet at the apartment. There should be a lockbox closer to the apartment for easier check-in.
