Carmen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location was great but the sofa bed was very squeaky and the room temperature was extremely cold even with the heaters on, they should provide extra blankets. The apartment itself was confortable because it had room to cook.
Carlos, 3-night trip

Loved Porto and this location is great.

Great location. Room at back of property overlooking a garden. No road noise. You can hear people in the stairway and room above. Property clean and tidy. Nice big bath towels. Kitchen area adequate if you want to use.

Beautifuk, great location, clean. Nice people, good service before arrive and after. Only the wifi in our apartment didn’t work constantly but I know in others works perfect. Thank you to the admin office. Nice People
JUAN, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely deserves the high rating it has! Superb location within easy walking distance of everything, with great transport links nearby if walking isn’t your thing. The property itself has everything you could need (the iron was missing but I’m sure this would have been provided had I asked). Great communication before and throughout my stay. Clean, cosy and comfortable with air con. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and would definitely stay again (though perhaps not on the 3rd floor!) Fantastic!
Morna, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was located in a great location. We were late for check-in; however, everything worked out just fine. The only comments I have to make is that we didn't have the WIFI information in our apartment. It was left in the corridor which we were not informed about. This occurred because they were transitioning to a new wifi provider. My only other comment is that the pillows are terrible and should be replaced. The bed was very comfortable. I would definitely recommended staying here though. I would come back.
Robert, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

You can see a photograph of a lovely room in their ad, but ours wasn't it. We were put in the back, on the ground floor, beside a sad little yard. We had NO WINDOWS that we could see out of, only a frosted glass door and a tiny high-up frosted porthole window! Most problematically, we were depending upon internet for our jobs and IT DIDN'T WORK! They claimed to be surprised and said they'd turn it off and on again, defensively claimed they'd never had this problem before, but nothing was fixed, they didn't inquire or try to make it right, and seemed irritated that we were having a problem. They also directed us to a restaurant that was permanently closed, and said we needn't make reservations for dinner at area restaurants (we went from place to place and couldn't find any good place that had space. All of them said you needed a reservation). But the internet was a killer. I ended up forking over extra to pay for Vodaphone on my home plan, which didn't seem to work well in that space either. We will never stay here again.

agathe, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was great, centrally located, clean and helpful friendly staff and a very nice roomy apartment. It would have been perfect if the front door to the building locked. We reported it twice and were told it was being fixed but it wasn’t during our 4 days. Apart from that I would definitely recommend for any stay in Porto.
David, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fit for our stay

We liked our stay there, it´s well equipped and decorated appartment with all we needed in bathroom and kitchen (we didn´t cook). Location is just right to be still relatively quiet, but very close to the city center. Also communication with the host was seemless, just the indication of the accomodation location on the street could be a bit more obvious.
Pavel, 2-night trip

Bella struttura. La mansarda non puo essere considerata una seconda stanza. Ma nel complesso location gradevole. Ben posizionata. Centralissima. Pulita. Tante stoviglie e piatti.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cet appartement! Nous avions tout ce dont nous avions besoin, et la localisation est parfaite pour visiter. Nous nous sommes stationnés dans un parking public pratiquement en face sans problème, mais nous n’avions définitivement pas besoin de la voiture vu la proximité à pieds de tout! Mention spéciale à Anabela qui offre un excellent service, tout en étant disponible et facilement joignable! L’accueil s’est déroulé de façon simple et flexible. Nous recommandons vivement :)

Wonderful stay, comfy bed & clean. We arrived after a very LONG day of travel and my daughter was not feeling well. When we arrived the host was able to get us quickly to our room, which was much appreciated! I would recommend.
Charlotte, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cannot say enough good things about this property in Porto. Anabela was incredibly accommodating and the check in process was easy. There are a few different ways to get to the location (uber, taxi), but we got off at the nearby Bolhão metro station after taking the train in from Lisbon. It's a bit of a hike up the stairs with luggage so be ready but so is every accommodation in Portugal. The place was lovely with nice touches like body wash available, wifi, and good air conditioning. Sleep was easy and the area is super accessible and walkable. Would recommend to anyone.

Hotel is at a very convenient location, short walk to Ponte Luís I Bridge, Porto Cathedral, Livraria Lello, São Bento Station and Igreja do Carmo. Easy check in and check out process, very friendly staff. Room is very clean and new inside.
