The hotel staff was exceptional… They were in quick and close communication with us before I stay and throughout the stay. The apartment/hotel well, within a 10 minute walk to all the popular points of interest and right next-door to a coffee shop that opens around 8 AM with great food and coffee! If you have a car, getting to the hotel is very tricky with very narrow roads, but we got lucky and found a space right by the entrance. That may not be the case for everyone. It is definitely a city for walking versus using a car. The bathroom was very clean, with toiletries, etc. Our only complaint is the bed was a little hard since it was more of a pullout couch style, and there was some mold on the wall by the window. Otherwise, we thought the hotel was exceptional!

Good thing about this property is location. Bad and mattress not great ( almost terrible), apartment wasn’t clean properly from previous occupants. There was a dirty soup in the bathroom left in the shower and rubbish bin hasn’t been emptied so we are assuming that the rest of the things in the bathroom and toilet were not cleaned. I would not recommend this apartment for someone who’s visiting Porto.

The location is great, right in the heart of the old town, directly overlooking the cathedral. Sadly, our bathroom was not very clean, as well as marked curtains and marks on the mirror that hadn’t been cleaned off. We also had very sloped ceilings so don’t book the top floor if you’re tall!! The staff team very polite.

The apartment is very well located for tourist attractions and is next to the cathedral and tourist office. Fortunately the bells stop overnight! It's only 5 minutes from the metro station which links to the airport. Communication from the management was exceptionally clear and helpful. Our room was clean, modern and large enough for 2 people. My wife appreciated the privacy of the bathroom, behind 2 thick doors.

We loved our stay here. The staff were very helpful even before we arrived. The accommodation is situated in a central location of this beautiful city. The accommodation had everything we needed and was very clean. We were located on the top floor without a lift (we knew when we booked), however the climb was not a problem for us. Would highly recommend.

We stayed here for 2 nights while in Porto. Team was really good with communications before we arrived and extremely helpful with tips on where to go around town. Unexpectedly, the location was amazingly beautiful, literally just in front of Porto Cathedral. Apartment was clean, in good condition and we had an amazing view of the city. We had one twin bed and double bed, very convenient. Thank you!

We had an amazing two nights in apartment on the 2nd floor. It was a bit tricky to find but we had wonderful directions. Everything from communication about check in and check out was very smooth. This apartment is in an old cathedral so right in the heart of the old city. Easy to walk to everything, no need for a car. The apartment has Everything you need for a short stay or a long stay, even a dishwasher! Water pressure is great, just needed a little better shower head and our stay would have been over the top perfect! Thanks for everything!
