  Village Aparthotel By BOA

  - “The aparto accommodation was great. The location was convenient to be able to walk around the city, close to the Mercado do Bolhão and right by a metro station if needed. Though the checkin is self-completed there were some staff in the shop area (during working hours) to assist with anything if needed. Otherwise the communication before checkin with door codes, etc. was very easy and convenient. The aparto itself was comfortable, clean and quiet. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice aparto style accommodation in Porto with nice restaurants close by (for dine-in or takeaway).”
