Perfect location but too many stairs

This is a great apartment, centrally located and well featured. The upper balcony, in particular, is great for sitting and watching the goings on in the city. The apartment has a comfortable bed, a good kitchen and a good bathroom. The lounge is comfortable. That said, we couldn't stay here (we lasted two nights), as the steep stairs were too much for us. Others have noted the stairs but if you are not reasonably fit or have leg issues, this is not the apartment for you. If you are reasonably fit, this is probably one of the best in Porto. There were also maintenance issues with the apartment when we were there, but all of those are fixable, so I reduced the stars to 3 (one for the stairs and one for the maintenance issues). Key points: Great central location, good apartment, steep stairs.

In the middle of it all!!

This is a great property to stay at if you’re looking for easy access to the train, metro, trams, old town, waterfront, restaurants, galleries, museums, gardens…. You name it, you’ll be able to get there easily from here! Be prepared to climb 5 flights of stairs but the view is worth the extra effort! There is a lot of metro construction happening directly in front of the building so access is a bit limited right now, but if you pack your patience it’s easy to navigate. The parking lot for the building is expensive but it was more convenient parking there than trying to find street parking in a historical district. Despite the construction, it’s surprisingly quiet and dark with double paned windows and beautiful shutters. The property manager, Francis, was easy to communicate with and takes great pride in the building and care of the unit. Thank you for a great visit!!!

Could have been better...

The apartment itself was good, location is decent too, but there were some serious issues to deal with. There were two leaks in the main bathroom. Plus heating and hot water stopped working the day after we checked-in. Host communicated promptly and asked me to run a series of steps with the water heater, which I did successfully- once, but then it broke again and I spent approximately an hour around midnight trying different things but with no success. We reluctantly moved to another property of the same host 10 mins away, it was a nice property but it was just a hassle to pack, move and unpack.

Beautiful Apartment

As other reviewers have commented, this is a lovely property in an excellent location. Both the stairs and the low height of the very comfortable bed may be an issue for those with mobility limitations, but it was fine for us. If you plan on doing laundry be aware that there is no dryer in the unit- you will need to hang your clothes on a rack on the balcony. We also had a few minor hiccups with the heat and hot water unit, but Pedro was very helpful in quickly resolving the issue even late at night. He also gave us very clear instructions prior to arrival and plenty of great recommendations on foods to try.

Great stay

Location is great. Within walking distance of everything you need or want to do in Porto. No big deal but a new metro line is being built right below the apartment. As many reviews point out, climbing 85 stairs up to your apartment means having mobility is a must. Pedro our host was very helpful and gave us plenty of information on things to do.
