Located near bus stop. Multiple restaurants near location.

Diane United States of America

The room was huge, there was a terrace and a large bright bathroom. We also enjoyed the kitchen.

Oleksii Estonia

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
