We had a great time! Perfect spot. Great location for restaurants and the night life. It has its own shared parking garage that comes with a fee of 15/day but worth it rather than trying to find a parking spot on the street. Francisco the property manager met us and went over everything. Everything was great! Would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic place to stay.

Francisco is very communicative and check in was simple. He had all the documentation ready and the apartment was in excellent condition. He had a list of sites to see and was able to coordinate tours and even breakfast. The unit itself is within walking distance of almost everything I wanted to see. I'd stay here again were I going back to Porto in the near future.

Driving in Porto is crazy, leave it to the pros and Uber Drivers. We were able to leave the rental parked safely for 3 days and enjoy the town Francisco was much better than me with the communications. I did pick up a Portugal eSIM which was cheap but my home SIM was shut down in the process. I should have met up with him on WhatsAp and it would have made things smoother on my end. The property is an easy walk right down to the water. You can meander easily down and then just hop a Uber back up on a hot summer day for €5 enjoying the port and sangria during the day.

Not for the stereotype tourist

The location is ideally close to all areas of Porto worth visiting, and being on the top floor gives a beautiful, panoramic view of the town. The typical tourist who goes to restaurants for every meal and enjoys the night life will find this apartment excellent. However, for us, it turned out that it was not the best place to stay for several reasons: 1. Kitchen utensils are few and insufficient to cook with. We don't ever eat out, and enjoy cooking our own meals, and the following items were not provided: a cutting board, a can opener, a working cheese/fruit vegetable peeler, a colander, at least one sharp knife to cut meat, tall glasses for cocktails, larger pots and frying pans. Also, the kitchen sink drain tends to leak water on the floor at the bottom of the drain pipe. 2. The bed in the main room is too short for anyone above average height, as myself, and pillows are too small. 3. The elevator produces loud noises every time it starts and stops; at night it is very bothersome for people who want to sleep at night, instead of being out on the town for activities. Also, neighbor dogs bark at various times of day and night. Mr. Urbano has been extremely helpful in offering a ride to and from the airport, and for providing many useful tips to make our stay as pleasant as possible. All in all, this apartment is well suited for most everyone, but not perfect for a mature couple who enjoys a home away from home.

Clean, Convenient and comfortable!

Francisco's apartment was everything that we needed and expected in Porto. We took advantage of his service that met us at the airport...it was so smooth and allowed us an easy way to learn about the apartment... AND hear great suggestions about what to do in Porto. We appreciated treats left for us for our first night! The apartment was incredibly clean, and we were just down the street from a grocery store, the Temporary Market, the metro station and a pedestrian street. We decided to book a Douro Wine Tour through Francisco. It was excellent and a highlight of our trip! Porto is so interesting...and so hilly..it is hard to avoid the hills. I would recommend Francisco's apartment.

The best location in Porto

After spending hours upon hours searching for the perfect suite for our 20 days stay Were very glad we pick francisco suite. Booking online was simple, checking in went as planned. Francisco arrange a secure parking spot for our car Right next door for the entire time ( Parking for a Fee ) One little misunderstanding the listing shows a tumble dryer we assumed a washer was there But no laundry facilities so we did have to walk a few blocks to do our laundry. The Terrace is amazing sun starts to hit it around 10:00am and stay until sunset over the neighbouring building. A previous review mentioned lounge chairs unfortunately there is only a bistro table and two chairs. Proper lounge chairs would be a marketable improvement . We would absolutely recommend this suite to our friends and future guests. you will love the location.

Perfect for us!

Apartment was great, Had everything we needed, and so central. We sat out at night and watched the sun set with a glass of wine. Lots of advice from Francisco on what to see, and where to go, and we did it all! Much better than staying in a hotel, as you see the real Porto, just what independent travellers like us want to do. Took up Francisco and Carla's service to and from the airport. Perfect!

Best place to stay in Porto

Francisco is a fantastic host with a very sweet, spacious and immaculate apartment within walking distance to everything you could ask for- food, shopping, restaurants; cafes and more. We loved our stay and found the apartment was perfect in every way. Francisco picked us up from the airport and drove us directly to the apartment. We also took a tour of the city with him which we highly recommend. Porto is a fantastic city and we saw more on this tour in one day than we could in five days, worth every penny. Thank you Francisco..

Lovely, spacious, great terrace, great location!

This is a lovely, spacious apartment very near the main market and shopping district in Porto, and only a few minutes walk from all the significant central Porto attractions. It has a great outdoor terrace which we used a lot. There is a bit of traffic and pedestrian noise, but it is to be expected for the area and did not affect our stay. Francisco, our host, was friendly, very knowledgeable, and offers tours and other services in addition to the apartment. His restaurant recommendations were excellent! Highly recommended.

Nice apartment and great location

Very nice spacious apartment. One of the few we found in Porto with a bathtub - most of the apartments have just a shower. The apartment is cosy with pictures on the walls and authentic furniture. I absolutely loved a big sunny balcony, where you can put sunbeds (they were hidden at another small balcony) and with a nice drink it turns into a paradise. Very central location, 5 minutes walk from a metro station (the way back might take longer as it is up the hill) and 15 minutes from central square with municipality. The owner also can provide private transfers to/from the airport and excursions.

comfortable apartment with spacy balcon in center of old city with LIFT!

I and my husband spent 4 nights at the apartment, which is located in the center of old city, close to the mercado, supermarket, and lots of cafes to get a kick of delicious coffee accompanied with great sweats. Since the city is very compact, you can reach easily by foot from the apartment. Convenient kitchen, nicely equipped with oven, big fridge and freezer, microwave, toaster, coffe-maker, etc. Available pans and pots were sufficient enough to cook simple dish. If you enjoy cooking by yourself, we would recommend you to bring your favorite chef's knife with you. The balcon is a big advantage of the flat, where we enjoyed every dinner and breakfasts. And the most important, there is a lift !! so you don't have to carry 23kg up to 4th floor by your self.

Great apartment to enjoy Porto!

First time in Porto, had a wonderful time, and the apartment was great! Having a large top floor patio, a small patio off kitchen and many windows made the apartment comfortable and open. It was clean and in great working order. So many restaurants that we never cooked, but nice to enjoy glass of wine on patio. It worked great to leverage Francisco's driving service to pick us up at airport and take us to train station on our departure. He was incredibly nice and at checkin took us through map of Porto and highlighted several things for us. An incredibly kind host who genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful time. The location was close to main shopping street & 10 - 15 minute walk to Sao Bento train station and other sites. Porto is hilly and cobble stoned paths so embrace wearing comfy shoes. The apartment was affordable enough that we were able to leave our big bags and just take backpack with us to enjoy a day and night in Pinhao and Douro Valley - highly recommend!! Thank you Francisco for making a great apartment available for us to enjoy your wonderful city and country!

Great first stop in Portugal

The property was as indicated in the pictures, big and spacious with a terrace. A great location near the centre of town and the metro. Our host was very helpful with lots of hints and a map and good locations of restaurants and other things to do not covered in the tourist book. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped for simple meals. lots of small grocery stores and cafes within a few minutes walk down the hill. The bed was comfortable and the location has city noises but not really noisy.

This apartment is not a 9 score one. We stayed with our young kids, 5 and 2 years old for 3 days. The apartment is old and needs refurbishment. If you are 4 pax, the ones sleeping in the living room will suffer from a lot of noise from the street as the windows do not isolate well. Also the elevator makes a very loud noise. The house is not fully equipped (no washing machine and dishwasher). No heating system in the living room (but thank god the weather was nice this Easter). A new broom would make no harm also. Pillows were horrible to sleep and to use the terrace it would be nice to have more comfortable furniture. On the positive note, Francisco was always available, the house was clean and the location was great. But, for Porto standards and seeing how the quality of accommodation has increased, this apartment needs a lot of improvement.

Wij konden nog niet rechtstreeks inchecken want we waren wat vroeg, maar toen zijn we even door de stad gaan lopen en vloog de tijd zo voorbij en konden we alweer terug naar het appartement. De buurt is ontzettend gezellig en er is genoeg te doen/eten! Porto is echt een ontzettend mooie stad en we komen graag nog een keer terug!
