It is well located, close to awesome historic places, restaurants and a delicious ice cream shop. The staff is absolutely formidable and provided us with great tips about the city and even a map to guide us through Porto. Everything went fine right from the beginning of our stay. Rooms are spacious, clean and fully furnished. I really wish we had stayed longer and would definitely come back.

Bruna Brazil

I am surprised by the size of room I have, it’s very spacious and even includes an outdoor patio.

Hoi Hong Kong

Clean, friendly and knowledgeable hosts. Good location.

Aliki Canada

The openness of the flat was nice and the view was great!

Darlene United States of America

Great value for the money in the old part of Porto. Walking distance to tourist sites and many restaurants and bakeries located nearby.

Westsail United States of America

It was a bit confusing because there was no obvious sign with the name of the property and the bell was not labeled. If you arrive late at night, make sure to arrange for someone to wait up since reception isn’t 24/7.

Sunny United States of America

This was a very well renovated apartment in an older building in Porto, probably about 10-15 minutes walk to the Sao Bento station. They accommodated us arriving a little early, and the apartment had a/c, which was really nice for the unusually warm weather. We didn't have an issue hearing other guests, which was nice considering that was an issue in another older building we'd been in. There's also a great little mom and pop cafe just up the street with a three course meal for 5 euros, which was the best thing I had while I was in Porto.

Natg-usa Ireland

The place was huge and very nice decorated same as you see in the pictures. and also clean.

Mariaaa Czech Republic

Super clean, amazing location with great price!! Such a deal! Would love to stay here again!

Karen Canada

We were able to walk to everywhere from the apartment. It was cheap.
