This beautiful modern apartment is situated very close to the Ribera district on the the Duro River. Everything you could want, you can walk to. The primary bedroom on the second floor is beautiful, mattress comfortable, with a bathtub in the immaculate bathroom. Air conditioning, balcony and views front and back are extras that made all the difference. Communication could not have been any better either. We will cherish our visit here!

Apartment is the perfect base for discovering Porto. Just know Porto is very hilly, so no matter where you go, there will be hills and stairs to climb.The apartment is spacious and clean. Located very near the river, restaurants and cafes. The balcony’s offers beautiful views and a morning sunrise from behind the cathedral. Marc was very responsive to all my questions before and during our stay. We were lucky enough to be at the apartment during the São João festival and the balcony was the perfect spot for viewing the fireworks. I have never seen anything like it! I will recommend only one shower in use at a time as water pressure diminishes in the upstairs bathroom.

We had a fantastic week in Porto and Marc’s place had a lot to do with it. First of all, the location couldn’t have been better. We were so central to everything that our average walk was only 20 minutes and the longest was 45. I was a bit concerned about the hills in Porto, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The apartment was perfect for two couples! Comfortable beds, lots of closet space, great kitchen and a perfect table to play some bridge.

The location of this unit was wonderful. The check in process was disappointing as we had to wait in the rain, although I had followed the instructions and reached out to the contact 45 minutes before our arrival. The contact was delayed and apologetic. I contacted the host before booking for confirmation that there was a futon in the living room. There is not. Rather it’s a leather chaise couch. Our 6’2” son had to sleep on it for three nights. It was uncomfortable, short and slippery. The second bedroom had a single mattress that was rock hard. As in, it may as well have been a box spring. The loft bedroom had a comfortable bed. Our bar was high as we had just come from a similarly priced and well-located apartment I. Lisbon that had wonderful. as-advertised sleeping conditions. Clearly, sleeping comfort is a priority for us when we travel and something I pay close attention to, if you can sleep anywhere this unit is ideal for a visit to Porto.
