This apartment is a gem! Close to everything and equipped with everything to make your stay comfortable. The only downside was that the bed wasn’t comfortable and the mattress could stand to be replaced or at least have a mattress topper.

A bit of a walk to get to so would not be ideal for travellers with mobility issues or large pieces of luggage. That being said the apartment is beautiful and in a nice area near the cathedral. Easiest access is to walk down from the cathedral. Good communication and check in! Immaculate apartment, comfy beds, beautiful view.

Loved this apartment! Great location (although it is down lots of steps, so keep this in mind when carrying luggage)close to the Se Porto. We were doing the Portuguese Camino so we appreciated being so close to the starting point. Great communication from the manager who met us on the day with the key and information we needed. Comfy bed, great facilities. Would highly recommend!

This is a beautiful apartment in a great location in the old town of Porto. It is walkable to everything, though through lots of stairs. Communication with the owner is essential, especially if you arrive by taxi - not all drivers know where to drop you off without having to climb a lot of stairs with your luggage. The taxi drivers that the owner recommends know where to drop you off and help with the luggage. We loved staying there and would do it again.

Great stay.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is spacious, clean, well equipped, has character/history and is in a great location near the cathedral (Se in Portuguese). Would definitely stay here again. Nilde and Gabriel were extremely helpful both before arrival and on arrival. Just be aware that you need to navigate some steps to get to the apartment - but it's worth it!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Overall the property was well located and clean. The hand off of keys when we arrived was a bit unorganized because there was an emergency with one of the admins, which is likely a one-off. But there was no communication leading up to the moment we arrived with the other two admin. The location is great but it was below a bar, so there was a bit of noise (music and stomping) in the evenings. There are many stairs to get to the apartments, which on one hand gives a very authentic environment, but if you have heavy bags or many bags, this may not be the best stay for you. Overall, it was fine and a nice unit, that was clean and it was located in a great area. They also give lots of recommendations of local spots which is nice.

Not for anyone who has mobility challenges.

Very convenient location, however, please note that the hotel can only be accessed via stone stairs from the main Porto Cathedral. Therefore, this would not be suitable for elderly or mobility-challenged people. There are also many flights of stairs to get down to the restaurant promenade beside the Douro River. As long as you are reasonably fit, the comfortable.
