We stayed for three nights and had a wonderful experience. The apartment is very spacious—perfect for the three of us—and everything from the beds and linens to the toiletries was of superior quality and impeccably clean. We were also provided with plenty of drinking water, which was a thoughtful touch. The location is fantastic, conveniently close to everything we needed. During our stay, I unfortunately fell ill with food poisoning, but Ines went above and beyond to help—she arranged a doctor for me and even helped collect the medication. Her kindness and support made a huge difference and we’re incredibly grateful. The apartment also has a lift, which is a great bonus. Highly recommended!

The only downside was that the bathroom is quite small.

I liked that it had two separate bedroom areas. The main bedroom was huge and had en suite toilet and sink. It was very clean and well furnished. It was definitely quirky but in a really cool way especially in that it had a record player. The location was nice and quiet but close enough to walk to the centre.

The kitchen amenities (kettle, sink, fridge etc)were behind large floor to wall wooden framed glass cabinets. To access the kitchen amenities you had to open these large glass doors which got in the way and there was the constant fear of knocking into them and breaking the glass.

The room was incredible. Big space, super comfortable bed and air conditioning. Ines got another single bed in to accommodate 3 of us and worked around our early check in which was lovely. The port on arrival was an unexpected bonus!

No fault of the property's but it was a bit of a walk to the train station up a big hill so was a good workout!

Our Hostess was extraordinary! She was kind beyond belief! She was very helpful in many situations! Everything was well prepared in advance for a wonderful stay! The location turned out to be very convenient (walking distance) for our plans! And it was easy to find for Bolt drivers!

There was some noise from cars on the street side. It is good to know that reservations are required for the popular restaurants.

Great apartment decorated beautifully! My apartment was cleaned every day and stocked with coffee. Great style and amazing hospitality! Also has a hand made map to help you plan your visit to Porto! And a little bottle of port as a welcome on my arrival. It's very close to the metro to get to the city centre and to the airport. Has a super market very close that is open until 9 pm if you need to get any groceries .I had a lovely time, everything was excellent!😊

Nothing to dislike

The location is great, and i like the design and facilities in the room. Daily cleaning was provided including laundry services, which is really nice!

Our room is facing the garden, which means it is next to the street. It is a bit noisy in the night even you close all the windows. Another issue is that we found little black bugs on the bed, it scared me a little bit. Not sure if it's normal here but I don't usually see these in the UK (probably because of the weather).

The room and place is very nice and very interesting. Very comfortable bed/mattress. The owner, Inis provides written as well as verbal recommendations if requested.

Its in a nice location...will be even better after they upgraded the park in front of the apartment... yet the walk to the centre is about 15 min walk uphill/downhill so you better plan your day.

Great location, just outside the busy centre but still close enough to walk everywhere. Beautifully restored old building. Very clean. Spacious. Lift. Attentive and thoughtful host Ines very helpful.

Nothing. The neighbours where doing some construction during the day but I was mostly out then and it was quiet the rest of the time.

The owner met me at the property and showed me to the room explaining everything on our way Lovely room and very homely - great facilities for what I needed but didn't fancy the noodles for breakfast 😂😂

I thought the location was just a longer walk than I expected but I had just walked the Camino and was fairly tired and the room was a treat

Specious room. Good facilities. 10 minutes walk from city center (note: up the hill when you return to the room)

Bad acoustics. You can hear the neighbors late at night and early morning (not for light sleepers)
