Excellent location and spectacular view of the river from balcony
The property was spacious, beds comfortable and kitchen was perfect. The location was great especially close to really good restaurants. The balcony with river and cathedral views was my favorite. Our host was very helpful and check in was very easy. Would stay here again.

Stunning property!
A great apartment, in a very centre of Porto, with breathtaking views of both Douro river and Palacio da Bolsa! Beautiful inside and just steps away from all the riverfront activity and restaurants!

Wonderful apartment near Douro River!
This was an amazing “find”!! Situated within Porto’s famous historic district, you are steps away from terrific cafes, restaurants and popular attractions. The duplex is well-appointed with a modern kitchen, efficient air-conditioning, and scenic views of the Douro River and bridges! Marc (and Rita!) were wonderful hosts, and we look forward to our next visit back to Porto!

Liked: Check-in
Great Location
Location and property were beautiful, well kept, and clean. The check in process was a bit disorganized, and the attitude of the person checking us in was less than positive. Some items were lacking( soap, toilet paper, tissue, etc) but nothing that took away from the positive experience. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property

Great stay With family from California
This location was amazing to walk out your door and visit restaurants and shopping and all the attractions. My only comment would be that my daughter said the downstairs bedroom had a very uncomfortable mattress, but otherwise the apartment was amazing.

Excellent location, but use the stairs
This place has an excellent location in Porto and beautiful views, especially from the top bedroom at night. The amenities were good, although could have used a few tea towels. Beds were a bit springy and the pillows quite hard. Our biggest issue was the elevator. It stopped and we got stuck in it for 45 minutes. The call help button company did not speak English so we did not know if they were even coming. Luckily our neighbor across the hall heard us and had been stuck before. She made sure to call the elevator company and kept checking on us to make sure we were ok. Other than that little panic incident, the place was great.

Amazing place with great views
We enjoyed our stay with our friends. It was perfect for two couples. However the upstairs suite will be a battle between the couples. lol. Downstairs sitting would be better if a couple bucket chairs. Just a suggestion. It is close to everything! Book early for this special place!

The perfect location in Porto!
We loved our stay at this modern apartment near the river in Porto! We were in the ❤️ of the celebrations for the feast of St. John which was a wonderful surprise. The apartment has two suites giving travellers some privacy. Lots of space to relax or eat together as well. Upstairs balcony has a fantastic view of the river and bridges. Bright and clean… we highly recommend it! Could use a sharp knife, a cover for the kitchen drain, a couple more tea towels and 2 pillows for everyone!
