fantastic location, good privacy for whole family, well equipped and clean.

Ellawyn Canada

Location is great, in the centre. Close subway station. Beautiful place with everything you need.

David Spain

The manager was extremely pleasant, helpful, and responsive. The apartment was very clean, well equipped, and nicely furnished. AC and hot water were great. very close to shopping and metro.

Steven United States of America

the apartment is very centrally located, right next to the main pedestrian shopping street. A walking distance to .... anything. Plenty of bakeries and stores around. Now... there are units in Villa Bolhao that are overlooking the Market. Be aware that there is reconstruction going on there (aka noise). So, we stayed in in a unit "with patio" (which is really a patio that was covered and converted into the part of hte apartment) that was facing the back. The view was nothing to write home about, but it was super quiet (which I prefer). The apartment also had a washer (that we desperately needed after 2 weeks of travel). The apartment is very cosy, super clean. Lots of closet space. The size is quite adequate for two people. The bathroom and kitchen are small, but was equipped with everything we needed. The building also has an elevator.

Victoria United States of America

The apartment was clean, lovely, had everything we needed for our family of four and was within a 5-20 minute walk of everything we wanted to see. There is construction across the street but the windows kept out the noise.

Pamela United States of America

The caretaker (or whoever was there) was very helpful and gave us lots of good tips about what to see and where to go.

Julia United Kingdom

Apartment was immaculate. Concierge was waiting for us and gave all the info we needed to your Porto. Where to eat transportation and special Sights. Apartment was well furnished with king size bed plenty of closets nice bathroom. Living room was very large with convertable couches. Kitchen was completely furnished with all necessary pots dishes etcBed was made each day and trash emptied. It is located next to the Mercado that is being reconstructed so view was obstructed. Not a problem since we were out most days. Within 2 minutes to the metro which is very cheap. 5-7 minutes from excellent restaurants. Prices are exceptionally cheap and quality top notch A bonus. They have an elevator so there wasn’t any hauling of luggage up stairs. It was very quiet. Windows were well insulated and it had A/C and heat

Monica United States of America

The kitchen very well stocked with all required items, coffee, soap, the entire apartment perfect. The Manager very helpful during the entire stay. Thank you
