Incredible Experience in Porto! If you are looking for a place with soul, excellent quality coffee, and service that makes you feel at home, this is the right place. I was enchanted by the atmosphere of the space, but what truly sets this cafe apart is the team. Special thanks to Maria, Marcelly, Daiane, and Silvania. It's rare to find such a synchronized and genuinely friendly group. • Maria and Marcelly greeted us with a contagious smile right at the entrance. • Daiane and Silvania made sure we didn't lack anything, always attentive to details and with a perfect suggestion to accompany the coffee. You can tell they work with passion, and it shows in every order. They made our afternoon in Porto much more special. I highly recommend it and will definitely return!

AVOID!!! WE GOT ATTACKED BY THE MAN IN CHARGE OF THE KEYS. The concierge of this appart hotel is outright dangerous, rude and very condescending. He kicked us and tried to hit my husband with a sharp object. We wanted to check out on Sunday morning and called him several times on the fix and the mobile without him responding. Also sent him an sms without an answer. He finally called us in the late afternoon, shouting like crazy on the phone that we had to give him the keys immediately. We went back to the appartment and when we wanted to hand over the keys he attacked us, kicking us, called us the f* words, and even tried to hit my husband with a sharp object. He finally walked off as the whole neighbourhood got alerted. This man is very dangerous!!!

Couldn't ask for a better spot!! Travelling to a destination where you have never been before, and booking everything online can be a bit hit and miss sometimes, no matter how much research you do, you will never really know what you are in for until you get there - well ladies and gents, this place was a HIT!!! Location......honestly you couldn't ask for a better location in Porto. Amazing views of the river, bridge and the Port houses. Restaurants literally only seconds from the front door and mini marts only a short walk away. Even the tram stop for the old #1 tram which goes to the beach is only 5 minutes walk away. The apartment has been tastefully renovated and was very clean. The cleaner visits daily and even did our dishes!! The man that care-takes the apartments was very friendly, helpful and spoke great English - nothing was a concern for him. There was a flatscreen TV in the room, but we never even turned it on. The wifi was free and worked fine. Despite being above the Cas da Ribeira which is a buzz of activity at night with bustling restaurants, markets and street performers, close the doors and blinds and there was no issues with noise - but we left them open until we were ready ready for sleep to soak up and enjoy the atmosphere. Would we stay here again - without question!

Location! location! Located right next to the bridge and river with an amazing view. Bars, restaurants and shops just right below the apartment. And walking distance to most of the tourist attraction. The room is big enough for 3 adults and a good size bathroom. Strong wifi in the room and a very good quality mattress compared with other guesthouse I stayed. The bars behind the apartment could get very busy on Monday midnight. The noise of talking and laughing woke me up few times in the middle of the night as I consider not a light sleeper myself.

Porto Top Accommodation on the river we got two rooms one in a building facing the Douro river, just on the docks you walk for sure once in Oporto. Stunning view on Gaia (the area in front of the old centre of the town, where the porto caves are located...try a porto tasting!!), the river, the lights, boats from two big windows (second rooms, for the kids, was facing inside but same furnitures, very nice). furnitures (both rom and bathroom were new), wi-fi perfectly working. The manager is a really kind and helpful man. When we walked through Oport we constantly said that was the best part to sleep. ah, important note, we had no troubles for the noise during the night..
