Guest house D. Filipe I

The deluxe studio is opposite the Church of Saint Ildefonso, and beside the main road making the location very easy to navigate. The room is like it appears in the photos, very clean including the bathroom. I loved it. Luis is amazing and friendly and he shared with me a short history of the place and how to navigate to tourist attraction areas.

Well located, comfortable and very kind staff.

Nothing to say

Was very easy to find the check-in location, and find street parking for the 3 days we were there. The lodging is actually in a different location, a 2-3 minute walk away, up a few flights of stairs above an ice cream shop (might be important for those with mobility challenges or super heavy luggage). We had the two-bedroom option, facing the main street and the church across the street. The location was absolutely perfect, steps from the main shopping areas and some really incredible points of interest. The street noise was a bit loud one night, but there was some celebration and it was totally fine. You enter the room into a small kitchen, and while we didn't cook anything, the fridge was very handy. The room wasn't decorated in any modern way like some of the other options nearby, but our flat was really clean, comfortable, and spacious enough to spread out a bit. There were plenty of towels and shampoo/body wash to use. Overall a great choice for Porto.

The parking info wasn't as clear as I hoped, and we don't speak Portuguese, so we weren't able to get more details from the front desk agent who checked us in. Fortunately, we found street parking across from the check in location, and the car was fine there for the few days we were there. Not sure if weekdays would have been different, but we were there on the weekend and it was fine. A bit pricier than other options nearby, but the location and security of the space were perfect.

The location is the best about the property. It could be cleaner.
