Very enjoyable
Accommodation excellent location. Airy 3rd floor flat. Facilities all we needed. Despite being a festival weekend and the ongoing metro works nearby slept well on a very comfy bed. Enjoyed an early morning cup of coffee sitting in the rocking chair looking out to the church over the road. Bus 601/602 to airport right outside.

Lovely apartment in a prime location
Very nice apartment in a super location, handy for walking to all main parts of the city - less the 5 mins to Livraria Lello, which also has lots of bars and restaurants nearby and around 15mins to the Cais da Ribeira. Would stay here again if we return to Porto, which hopefully we will do.

Porto bakery penthouse bliss
My Son and l just had a wonderful time staying in this apartment in Porto. It is part of a bakery and the price of breakfast is included. The breakfast was very generous and set us up for the day! The hosts and staff are very attentive, kind and generous all round. The apartment has the most amazing view of Igrja do Carmo- Porto and the whole Fonte dos Leōes square. It is a gem and l recommend a stay here for an authentic Porto experience with wonderful people who make you feel welcome.

Light and airy apartment in the centre of old Porto
This apartment was everything it promised to be. It was clean and comfortable with good quality furnishings and provided great value for money. The location was perfect for visiting all the main tourist sights in Porto and the railway station was only 10 minutes walk away for journeys further afield. Elisa and Luis were very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and always served with a smile.

Beautiful apartment in the heart of a fabulous, vibrant city.
We were made very welcome by Luis who showed us up to our apartment for a 4 night stay. The apartment is well maintained, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and has been sympathetically renovated with modern touches. It is much more spacious than the hotel rooms in the area, has better in room facilities and offers excellent value for those who want to be independent. Everything you could wish to see is within walking distance, you are surrounded by bars, cafes and restaurants in a busy, bustling part of town, had we stayed closer to the river it is unlikely that we would have explored this area so much. The river is only a leisurely 20 mins downhill walk away staying here affords you the best opportunities to really see this amazing city, we loved it. Breakfast is a lovely touch, it is served until noon so no rushing after a late night !!! the gorgeous aromas from in the bakery tempt you towards a vast selection of delights - you can easily walk the calories off. There’s still lots for us to see so a return trip will definitely be happening.
