Great workcation in Porto
Place is perfect for 2 couples or like us who spent our time in Porto Workcationing. It’s centric with close distance to sights, good restaurants and bars and minutes walk to the Metro. We loved that we could have work down there and I would recommend the place for anyone needing to relax

The staff is super friendly and the location is good. But for the price we paid, there were so many better choices in Porto. The apartment has narrow long sitar’s you have to climb up with heavy luggage. WiFi is also very weak and we had to use our own data most of the time. Overall an average stay.

Excellently furnished 1 bedroom apartment. Every amenity (dishwasher, fridge, stove, a/c etc.). Great location - excellent restaurants nearby (EASY walking distance), breakfast voucher at nearby bistro, quiet street in old quarter of city. Only problems were a minor "drains"smell in bathroom, and the reception office were not always quick to answer our pre-travel emails with questions about arrangements for our arrival, transportation, etc.. However, they were most accommodating in letting us use their workstation for email access. Would DEFINITELY stay there again - good value for money - and have recommended it to our friends/family.

The location is perfect to get to everything easily and there's the metro right there. The apartment is perfect for a family with kids with a bedroom upstairs. The air conditioner is not strong, but it was fine. There are many stairs, but I had been shopping in three cities before getting to Porto and my bags were extremely heavy.

Overall nice with a few noticeable flaws
The place is overall very nice. Two issues: the main door to the building can be locked in such a way that it is impossible to open the door without a key from inside. This is probably a fire hazard, and also meant that someone who left their key in the room at the end of their stay woke us at 4.40 in the morning, as they could no longer get in their room and couldn’t get out of the building. We had to let them out. Needless to say, this was a nasty middle of the night surprise, and should be avoided by design. Also, the service at the breakfast restaurant is mixed. We had one good waiter, one bad.

Nicely renovated, immaculately clean apartment. It was advertised as 20sq.m but in fact I think it was a bit bigger than that; certainly plenty big enough for 2 people. Comfortable bed, nice sofa, modern well-equipped kitchen. Effective, quiet aircon/heater units. Good WiFi. Room serviced daily. NOTE, all the apartments are up at least 1 flight of stairs; there's no elevator. Excellent location handy for metro station (direct trains to/from airport, 35 mins journey, every 20 mins) just beside the Mercado de Bolhão - but note, the old market building is being renovated in a big project and is closed until 2020; many of the vendors are now housed in a temporary location close to Bolhão metro station. Plenty of interest nearby - Via Caterina shopping, tiled church, useful restaurants. The Ribeira (river, quayside) is a bit further - about 20 mins walk. We got a breakfast-inclusive rate, good breakfast provided in the brilliant Cristo Rei bakery/cafe about 50 metres away. A couple of very minor niggles: (1) checkin was easy, but a little fiddly as you have to go to the owners' other apartments about 200m away; (2) disappointing that there were no basic supplies in the kitchen (oil, salt, pepper etc) - it's kinda tedious to have to victual the place from scratch if you want to do any cooking, although it's perfectly possible because there's a good cheap supermarket around the corner. In summary: would definitely stay here again if visiting Porto to see the old town.

Wanted a simple apartment in Porto and this was great for two. Road quite busy with traffic but we loved this as a contrast to a quiet Lisbon apartment. Looked after well by staff and a missing kettle was quickly sorted ..excellent English and though staff are not there 24/7 we were given clear ways to contact if necessary.

C’est vraiment deux propriétés très différentes sur une seule rue. Nous avons demandé d’être placés à l’hôtel principal, où il y a un concierge et un ascenseur. Ils nous ont accommodés. Là, la chambre était belle plus du genre d’une chambre d’hôtel bien fournie qu’un appartement. Le quartier est beau et bien fourni en magasins, à 500 metres de la zone touristique et 1.2km de la rivière et ses attractions. Meilleur restaurant du quartier Los Dos Frangos.
