"An exceptional stay in the heart of Porto!
Márcia, who helped us with the check-in instructions, was kind and incredibly helpful. Communication was smooth and everything went perfectly.
The apartment is spotless, well located, and truly comfortable, a real gem in downtown Porto.
Definitely better than a hotel… we felt right at home!

"Our host Raphael was wonderful. He met us at the apartment and assisted with our luggage. He was willing to answer any questions during our stay. The place itself was very clean and included all the basic kitchen amenities. It’s in a convenient location with many places to eat that were great and at a reasonable price. If someone has mobility issues, this place may be difficult as it’s on the fourth floor with steep stairs. There is no elevator. "

"We had a great stay. The building is in a quiet street right on the edge of the city center. The room is spacious and it looks nice. The staff was super friendly and easygoing. Highly recommended. "

"Property was well set out and a good size, two bedrooms plus lounge and kitchen. Owner was friendly, met us there at the agreed time for handover.
Village is very quiet, with a well stocked shop two minutes walk away. Motorway is an easy drive away."

"The spacoius apartment is in the perfect location for seeing the sights and living like a local. Great grocery stores, wonderful people with great restaurants...win, win win. The only caveat is these rooms are without an elevator which could pose difficulties for some. Porto is hilly so stairs are part of the package. "

"Our six night stay was perfect. Our host, Luis Silva, was very kind and helpful, providing recommendations and technical help with the heating unit. The bed was very comfortable (dense memory foam), the entire apartment was spotless and comfortably appointed. The location was perfect with easy walking access to São Bento station and metro, Minipreço market, and lots of good cafés. I recommend Porto Spot highly. But know the climb is steep up the street, as are the building's stairs. No...

"Tres agreable sejour dans un appartement tres propre, le petit dejeuner etait bon malgré quil ne varie pas.
Quelques remarques a faire par rapport a la communication :
L'hotel indique lors de la réservation de les prevenirs en avance en cas d'arrivée apres 18h00. Nous avions une arrivee a 23h00. Le sachant 1 mois a l'avance jai tenter a multiple reprise de les prevenirs mais sans reponses. Arriver le Jour J pas de nouvelles concernant l'enregistrement, il a fallu les harceler 4 fois par...

"Everything about this hotel, from the friendliness of the staff, literally everyone ! From Maria welcoming us, to Isaac’s knowledge of spirits at the bar , a spotless room, exceptionally beautiful spa with pool, sauna etc. Our massages were fantastic and the personal notes , chocolates and wine in the room made it a very special two days in Porto! "
"Great hotel. Ideal location with metro station literally a few steps from the hotel door and the city centre just a short walk away. Hotel very clean, spacious and modern "
"Beautiful hotel located in a very convenient area. Easily walkable to main areas as well as to the bus stop to take you up the coast to Foz area. The hotel is also located on a pedestrian only street which was lovely. The pool and saunas (dry and wet options) were exceptional in making my stay that much more relaxing. It rained and was windy during part of my stay and the hotel had very sturdy umbrellas available for guests. Very convenient as I did not need to purchase one for my stay. The hotel staff was also very welcoming and accommodating. They went above and beyond assisting me when the elevator was not working to bring me up to my floor after using the spa amenities. They updated my keys, tested them, and brought them directly to my room. It was very much appreciated! They were also able to store my luggage before and after check in, allowing me to take full advantage of exploring the beautiful city. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to other travellers!"
"Amazing hotel built into the side of the cliff right next to the iconic iron bridge. Wonderful staff, nice upscale restaurant but also cozy wine bar and foyer cafe. "
