    The Garden is a wonderful treat, and a good area for Porto exploration

    There really wasn't any place to "sit" in the apartment. Luckily there were lovely spaces in the garden, which was much better than being inside......I wonder though what it would be like if raining. Also the loft bedroom was very low and accessed by a "stepladder" Would be excellent for children, but as an adult I did bang my head more than once. And unfortunately the kitchen lacked some basics, such as a knife to cut bread and a tea towel to do dishes.

    This is an apartment with a beautiful, private city garden just out the door. The garden was just lovely, and one of the bedrooms was quite spacious. The offsite manager was easily reachable by whats app and responded quickly when contacted. She was very helpful with information about Porto, places to eat etc. And, the location was really excellent. Just down the road from all the main areas and very easy to walk.

    There was nothing to really dislike about the apartment. The only slight grumble was that the wifi dropped out a bit for one of us sometimes when the two of us were using it.

    The apartment was a comfortable size. It was great to have a fridge and kettle. The shower was a good size..The location was good, near a mall with nice eating places and shopping. We walked to all the major sites. It's in a quiet neighbourhood. Access was good and it was very secure. Paulo was a very good gost. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Very minimally stocked kitchen. Would be difficult to cook if you planned to make meals in the apartment.

    Paulo (the property manager) was incredibly helpful. He came to greet us and even brought batteries late at night for the AC remote. We loved the little garden our back. It was a perfect place to unwind after a busy day of sight-seeing. It felt peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed the Mama Mia restaurant about ten minutes away.

    The room felt a bit dark and cramped, with many doors in the style of these buildings. I would recommend adding a few items to make the room more comfortable, such as a small fold away table with chairs, as there was no place to sit and eat. We couldn't eat in the garden because it rained every day of our stay. Would also be nice to provide hand soap.

    Basic and clean accommodations. The balcony door leading to the garden was very nice. Bed was comfortable and fridge was useful. There are no staff on site, but response time by message was quick.

    Room was not serviced for the four nights we stayed there. We had to take our rubbish across the road to bins. No fresh towels for the duration or vacuuming etc. breakfast was delivered in a bag and while lovely it was all the same each day and no real choice.

    Fabulous room. Old style high ceilings and very quaint

    As we are on a bigger European holiday and a family of 4, we were carrying more luggage than the average guests I am guessing.

    Lovely older styled hotel and really liked how our Villa was adjoined to the terraced garden!

    The only problem was about the stuff for breakfast. After a week, the bin in the kitchen was full, and we didn't have other bags for the trash. Also, it is useful to have a broom for swepping.

    The apartment is very cool and, the garden is beautiful and the location is near the main strees with a lot of restaurants and shops.

    The garden is not so cosy, so we did not really hang out there. You‘ll take ~15-20 min to the inner city on foot, so it’s not directly around the corner.

    Very nice place to stay! It‘s an apartment rather than a hotel. But very beautiful, clean and the location is good. You can walk into the city or quickly take an UBER. The host is super nice and made our (spontaneous) check-in easy!

    It is a bit far of a walk to get to everything - I think the price is a little cheaper than places I saw closer to reflect the difference. But it’s definitely a bit of an uphill trek back, especially after dinner. Not a huge deal but be aware!

    A very cute, authentic building with a lot of charm! The rooms and vibe were really cute and the garden was beautiful.

    A nicely located flat with a beautiful garden in Porto

    A bit difficult to climb the ladder to the patio (where the two single beds are located), especially with luggage - moreover, the patio ceiling is low, so we had to be careful :) there is no indoors living room area, but the garden outside really compensates for that (as long as the weather is good).

    Very nicely located in Porto, just a 10 to 15-min walk from central locations. Ideal for a short-term holiday when the main goal is to stroll around Porto and discover its beauties. The garden was great for chilling in the afternoon before going out and taking breakfast before a busy day out! The hostess was very helpful during the check-in process and provided us with many interesting suggestions for dining. She even allowed us a late check-out, since there were no other guests that same day, and that was highly appreciated by all of us.

    The noise, we were surprised by how much we heard. Other guests were stomping around at midnight or super early and we heard it as if it was right next to us. We will be back though

    We stayed in a family room, which was quite spacious. We had direct access to the garden which was a nice bonus. The room was clean and tidy. The area is fairly central and you can easily reach some of the main attractions by foot. Madalena, our host, was very friendly and attentive. She was also very accommodating of our late check-out request.

    Fairly steep climb from centre to the apartment (Porto is very hilly!) However the Bolt/Uber service was excellent and very reasonably priced so it was easy to get in and out by car. The kingsize room we booked was at the front of the building on the main road so there was traffic noise and we didn't use the balcony. Rooms at the back would be quieter.

    Nice room, high ceiling, extremely comfy bed with lovely linen, kitchen with a microwave and all the necessary plates and utensils to make snack food and breakfast or plate up/heat takeaway food. Not touristy. Hosts quick to respond to texts, didn't meet in person. Lovely to have room serviced daily.
