Bainhairia was very well located - a short walk down to the river and a short walk uphill to the Sao Bento train station. This was one of the best appointed apartments I have stayed in. It was also very well decorated. We felt like we were staying in a friend’s home (but with empty closets!) Our host Ani was very communicative and gave us numerous ideas and recommendations for our short stay. The unit is up two flights of stairs and in the middle of narrow hill street which Uber doesn’t drive down. Important to consider if you have accessibility needs. Highly recommended!

This apartment was in an ideal location. An easy walk everywhere, comfortable beds, and port wine and snacks provided by the host. Good communication during our stay and good tips for sight seeing and restaurants from the host. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that the sink connection in the kitchen was broken and there was a sewage smell in the kitchen until it was fixed. But this stuff happens, and I would recommend this apartment for your Porto trip!

The apartment is very nice and comfortable for two. It's located right in the middle of town, only steps from a few wine bars and restraunts. We enjoyed walking up and down the small side streets to find new shops and restaurants. The host, Ani, was very helpful with suggestions and responsive to any questions. Highly recommend staying here while in Porto.

Very disappointed

Overall good location but because of the high temperatures currently in Porto, the apartment was unbearable. Two fans in constant use barely made a difference - sweating all night is not my idea of comfort. Because of the smoking from adjacent apartments and noise from the street, it was impossible to leave windows open. No ceiling fans either - ridiculous. This unit was priced only 20 less than a 5 star hotel we were able to transfer to which includes a suite, beach access, elevator, A/C, breakfast included, 2 pools, etc. We recommend due diligence before booking this highly overpriced and overrated apartment. We had to vehemently complain to get released early from this booking. Owner finally gave us a partial refund but it was a huge disappointment all around. Owner even wanted more tax paid at the end than was advertised on her website- a complete misrepresentation. If you book this place, good luck trying to use Uber. Street is so narrow most, if not all, drivers will refuse to drive here.

Spacious and Great Location

The apartment was is the perfect location for our daytime activities and evening dinners. There was a small grocery within a 5 minute walk. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, and having access to laundry was wonderful. The listing does state there is a hot tub, but there is not one on site.Ani made check in easy with the key available in a lock box and communication was great. We would definitely stay here again if back in Porto.
