Camera on the third and last floor amazing, with a small terrace overlooking the river and the bridge. Comfortable beds, comfortable and nice bathroom, good cleanliness. Top location! Super owner!

Cute rooms with a good view of the river. There's a kitchen to make coffee and improvise dinner. They offer coffee, tea, and bread. Prepare your knees because there are many steps, go with light luggage. Very close to the Ribeira and the historic alleys. I recommend it.

Beautiful view on the river We spent two days in Porto during our journey in Portugal; we selected this apartments for the beautiful position, knowing that reaching it is not easy and confortable, especially with two trolleys! The room is wide, with brand new furniture and toilet and a small kitchen. The only inconinent is that the room is a bit noisy since a couple of restaurant are just below the building.. Finally we were pleased with the choice since this is a perfect and strategic place for visiting Porto, reaching the restaurant for dinner and going across the bridge where the porto wine cellars are placed! It was a lovely stay for a good price; I deeply suggest it.

what a view! The apartment building was in the touristy area along the river.the room was small and narrow but the view made up for it. Looks out on to the river and the Luis I Bridge and port cellars over the river. Access to the rooms is via fairly steep stairs only, which could be difficult with suitcases. Well appointed kitchenette and bathroom Double bed was two single made up individually and pushed together. The concierge was extremely friendly and helpful and spoke good English. The flat is close to many restaurants, but can be a little noisy at night. great location for walking over the bridge to the port cellars and catch the cable car to the monastery and the amazing walk over the top of the bridge. the noise travels a lot between the floors if the other flats are occupied. There is only one flat per floor

Authentic place with a good view on the river Very nice apartment on the river bank, in an old house. Many authentic details combined with a good kitchen, bed and bathroom. The man who looks after the keys, the laundry and other things, is around all the time for questions and good service. He is a bit weird, though. One thing: the old wooden floor creaks very loudly, when people in the other apartment are walking around.

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, .............. Excellent value. Most of the rooms have a river view, but we were forewarned we would not since we required a triple. LOVED the location....everything fun is right outside your door. Bars, cafes, the bridge, Gaia, music, performance artists. The funicular is the best way to get up into the city proper. Could have used a few more electrical outlets for our electronics, but would absolutely stay here again and be quite hay to do so.
