Summary: I can’t say enough good things about this cozy apartment! Great location and stunning view from the apartment window. Fernando the host went above and beyond. He met us when we arrived spent time giving us information about local restaurants, and things to do. He also arranged for our transportation to the airport.
Kim F. Jun 26, 2025 07:21:41 PM
Summary: Fernando was wonderful. He graciously helped us up the stairs with our large luggage, had a great sense of humor, and clearly cares about his guests having an enjoyable visit as he spent a lot of time showing us all of our options. While we were not there long enough to take a tour, they also offer tours and we would have done one with him. The place is exactly as described. Beautiful views of the river our the window. Lively town so eve could be a little noisy but bedrooms are in back of the apartment. Very satisfied with our stay.
Amber D. Jun 9, 2025 05:48:14 PM
Summary: Perfectly located right on the Douro River. The apartment is very quaint and well kept. The owners were great and very welcoming providing many recommendations for near by restaurants and things to do.
Ross N. Jun 2, 2025 10:24:39 PM
Summary: Great location to take in the sites. Lots of room. Apt is dated but functional. Bathroom could use an update. Fernando was great and lead us on a tailored day tour of the Douro Valley. Great having the washing machines for our stay.
Susan L. May 31, 2025 06:56:37 PM
Summary: The view from living room is amazing! Just steps away from Porto action! Can watch the boats and listen to the music in comfort. The apartment has doors to close in living room, kitchen, and hallway to bedrooms so when ready to rest we didn’t hear the city’s noise.We enjoyed being near the river and the ease of getting to everything we wanted to see in Porto.Fernando was very prompt in answering questions before we arrived, guided us upon arrival, and gave great city suggestions. Check In with Olga was easy and informative.
David T. May 13, 2025 07:04:08 PM
Summary: Wonderful location! Apartment was right on the Douro. Highly recommend. Great bed. There are stairs but not a big deal.
Brenda F. Apr 30, 2025 07:16:34 PM
Summary: As 4 adults our three night stay was fantastic. We were welcomed by our host with friendliness and a bottle of wine and fresh sweet bread. The view from the windows was superb. Over looking the Douro River, the outdoor venders, buskers, the winery caves and the famous Lois bridge. Multiple restaurants and old town sights were all within walking distance. You will not be disappointed with this location. Just book it and Enjoy!

Penny M. Nov 30, 2024 11:37:09 AM
Summary: To sit with an amazing view with a glass of port, listening to the sounds of the street, looking at port houses was amazing. It is an older place but has everything needed, including stairs for exercise. It was exactly as described and nothing can beat the view.
