Apartment in the historic center of Porto - With a beautiful and large terrace

Great Stay Great stay, great apartment and the host was very responsive. The only issue was it was next to a noisy street with an adult establishment. It was subtle enough that my child didn't even notice, but it was right there. We ignored that business and had a great time though. We loved sitting on the patio and exploring the beautiful ciry of Porto.

Fabulous apartment Lovely clean apartment in walkable distance to the old town. The outside terrace was a great space and the apartment is extremely well equipped. Jeronimo and Leo were very helpful.The apartment is on a noisy street with 24 hour traffic hence the lower score for location. A great few days in Porto.

Excellent, perfect location! This was our second time staying at this wonderful apartment. The location is close to everything, we walked to the market, river area, tower and took metro to the ocean and Gaia, all very convenient.The apartment has everything you need, 2 bedrooms, large kitchen, living room, dining room and large terrace. Unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there so the terrace was disappointingly not used.The area has most of the restaurants that were on our list during our first stay and we went back again to a few this time. Lots to eat and drink close by. We even went to Fado at a local restaurant one evening and felt safe walking home at night.Highly recommend this apartment, the owner and his staff are very accommodating and provide lots of good information!!

Looks can be deceiving The apartment was fairly well appointed with necessary kitchen, bathroom & bedroom supplies. It does look stylish and modern. However, there are problems with the apartment. The main issues were the lack of heat in the apartment and the bad location.The water heater is not "on demand" but rather a 20 gallon (1/2 size) water tank. It is not sufficient for 4 adults to all shower in the morning. The wall heater unit in our bedroom did not work at all and the heater in the other bedroom barely warmed up. The host did respond quickly and came by on the second day - to tell us that the heater was indeed broken and it would take 15 days to get the replacement. No heater was supplied for the remaining 2 days.The apartment is outside of the central tourist area, not far from the restaurants etc. but certainly not in a touristy area. There were street workers (ladies of the ...afternoon) on the street. I was propositioned twice by different women. We did not feel unsafe in the day time, but we only went out in the evening once because our spouses did not feel safe. There were also several fights in the alleys/streets each night, with yelling and occasionaly police. We saw at least one drug deal take place each day. Since it was not the kind of location we wanted to walk through, we ended up spending a lot of money on Ubers to come and go quickly.The road in front of the apartment is paved in cobblestones and this made for a lot of noise when traffic went by.

Good, but could have been a bit better... The apartment itself is quite charming and was very clean. We did have some initial check-in communication problems with the host due to having the wrong telephone number (we had to contact VRBO to get things straightened out), but after that got sorted out it was fine. The dishwasher was not in working condition so that was a disappointment (needs fixing or replacing). Also, we had problems with the oven a couple of times where the heating element would turn off on its own (turning the circuit breaker on and off seemed to fix the problem for awhile). There is some street noise, as others have mentioned, but we didn't find it that bad. More notable is the major apartment building reconstruction taking place next door - there was quite a bit of construction noise during the day. Lastly, there are a few "businesses" close to the apartment - one a few doors down on the same side of the street, and the other a few doors down on the other side. The ladies didn't bother us, but others may not feel comfortable with that type of activity nearby. Again, good, but could have been a bit better.

Great stay in Porto This apartment is beautiful with all the amenities, the hosts are helpful and kind, and the location is perfect. It’s a great space to go to at the end of a long day. It’s lovely.
