Nice unit with fantastic views and plenty of space for the two of us. Good facilities, kitchen, bathroom, air-conditioning, etc, only issue was we were unable to get stations on the TV, appeared it wasn’t tuned or logged in but also difficult to resolve when you don’t speak or read Spanish. End result is I recommend this property and would stay again if in Porto.

The view of the river and one of the bridges is amazing. Check in was challenging since nobody was there to open the place for us. We had to ask one of the neighbors to call the contact number on our reservation. While we were waiting, we paid for parking along the sidewalk and later found out that this building does not have designated parking, even though the note when booking says parking is available upon request. The alternate options were paid public parking facilities and some where full or reviews rated them as unsafe. The apartment is beautiful inside, remodeled, comfortable beds, good bathroom and kitchen space. The location is close to central and very convenient.

Dear Tamar, Your apartment building does not have a reception, our reception is located in the center. So we ask for an estimated time of arrival to receive you personally, in your case there was no good communication and your reservation had no way to contact you. The reservation said that there was parking available nearby and there are many options. Thanks for your review Best wishes from Porto!

Quaint and comfortable stay
If you are familiar with Portugal, then this place (aparthotel) will be just fine. There is no parking close by if you have your own vehicle. You will need to walk with your luggage on the streets ( unless you are dropped off close by). The self check-in was quite easy and the small elevator takes you to your floor. Communication was quite easy. The place is quiet and secure, and beds are comfortable. Place is a little compact ( including bathrooms) but adequate for our 1 night stay. You can walk by the river or to restaurants and bars close by. The place next door (which we could see) was quite run down but it didn’t affect us at all. Love the city of Porto! There’s lots to do.

Overall a great stay. Location is excellent. Very walkable and there is a bike rental a few steps away. There is a tram that took us to top of hill a few steps away. And the bridge is also a few steps away. Our unit had an alcove on second level that didn’t have any AC. So got hot in afternoons. We also had to kill a few household spiders. I would definitely rent this place again.

The stay itself once we got in the hotel was good. We were able to drop our luggage off early but were unable to check in at listed time because the room was not clean. Once we got in the room, most was clean except the kitchen area and an old cigarette in the bed room. I was able to do laundry but there is only one washer/drier so if someone else is using it, you have an issue. The apartment was nice and roomy with a bathroom upstairs and down.

This flat was a pleasant surprise. It’s a one bedroom apartment in the ground floor, with a “patio” that can be fully opened to the street. It’s location is amazing, just beyond the D Luis Bridge, on the river, but just away from the most touristy bit. Great stay!

Great location on the river. Poor communication. Description of parking is misleading. Couldn’t find the ‘laundry facility’. The unit itself was very good, with a comfortable bed and a nice enclosed patio seating area. The kitchen was adequate, but some items weren’t clean ( sticky stuff on cutting board, some cutlery not clean). Some sort of note with facility info would be appreciated. For example, we had no idea what to do with the full garbage container, nor could we find the laundry. There is no front desk or common area. This is not a good location to have a car. Ours was towed , even though there were no signs indicating that parking wasn’t allowed. We had no assistance from the ‘hotel’ management. That was disappointing. However, it’s a nice unit ( Dona Maria Pia) . It felt safe and was at the quiet end of the street.

Hello Gail sorry about your experience First, let me tell you the we don't have reception because we are not hotel but tourist apartments and it's write in all platforms that information. The laundry facilities is in the building and the guest need to solicit that and i never receive any information about you requesting that facilitie. For the parque i send you a google maps link with the closes park , the streets are very well flagged where you can or can't park. Best regards

Oporto Trendy River is right by the Douro River in Porto, and just a two minute walk to the Dom Luís I bridge and the famous Ribeira district. The Ride-share from the airport was only €22,00 at the time of this post, we also came in much later than planned due to flight delays. The apartment accommodations were clean, spacious, had all the appliances with hot water boiler that was more than adequate. The host, Hugo, was also communicative. He helped when the tenant upstairs seemed to be noisier than normal, could also be because of the hardwood floors throughout. I highly recommend a stay if you want a place near the cool places to go to in the historic center of Porto.

Fantastic apartment that is modern, clean, comfortable, and with beautiful views of the Douro River. Marissa was lovely, and very helpful and thorough with our check-in - she’s the best. Our only issue was how audible the other floors were - we heard every footstep coming from the floor above, which made for a noisy stay. In fact it was noisier upstairs than it was from the street. Apart from that, a fantastic stay.

Porto spacious studio-plus
From the outside, this unit did not look like much, but inside it was very usable. We enjoyed the "veranda" with its view of the river and the hill topped with a monastery on the opposite river bank, even though it did not project beyond the building's facade as most verandas do. Although it was a studio (no door between the area with the bed and the rest of the unit), the bed was in a back corner, and thus out of sight of the living area. We really enjoyed our time here.

Great location, so close to the river and restaurants. Beautiful view of the ruins accross the river. We had the ground floor apartment which had a nice outdoor area at the front opening up to the street and overlooking the river. Quiet street as the apartment is at the end of the street. Bar/restaurants a few doors up which was great and only a few minutes walk to the Riberia area and the Gaia district accross the bridge. Apartment had all amenities required and there is access to washing machine/dryer if you ask, although this is not in the apartment we were provided with a key to the laundry room so we had access. Communication was by email which worked well for us but would have been better if we had local SIM so could telephone. Only downside was that if not staying a week or more there is no housekeeping so towels and sheets not changed during our stay. It would have been better if we’d been provided with at least an extra set of towels. But this doesn’t detract much from the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed Porto and the apartment and would definitely recommend.

Worth if you can afford it. Impeccable 2 floor apartment with grand view. Parking: if you're lucky get the street, it is free overnight, if luck is something you never heard of park across the bridge for about 18 euro and walk 7 min.

Great apartment!
We loved the apartment. The location couldn't have been better. About 2 - 3 minutes along river walkway to ribiera. The funicular is 2 min from apartment. We booked the dom luis I which was a 2 BR, 2Ba. As a couple, we stayed downstairs, but there is a loft with 2 twins (set up as king) and full bath. Upstairs also has a washer (we did not use). Only downside is the floors are very creaky. Other than that, great! If you are not used to traveling in Europe, be aware that from the outside, you may be concerned. Several of the surrounding buildings have not been renovated. But the inside is great and the area is very safe, nice, and spectacular views of Dom Luis bridge from both bedrooms and living room.

Excellent location. We stayed on the second floor (Freixo) with a gorgeous view of the river and bridge. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. What keeps this from a higher rating is that you can hear when the guests on the third floor come in, leave, etc. In our case, 6AM one day and 2:30 AM another. If you are a light sleeper or bothered by hearing footsteps on the wood floor above, I recommend asking for a room on the top floor.
