Excellent location
Loved the location of this apartment. Although on a busy street, it was very quiet to sleep. Very clean and the hosts were very responsive. However, a few concerns about the apartment. The lower level bedroom had a very hard uncomfortable bed, and the bathroom was dark and no place to put toiletries. Also, upper level had a terrace with a beautiful view, but was in poor condition (wood boards raised that were tripping hazard, and to no fault of the owner, the seagull poop all over made it impossible to be outside. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives

The only place you should stay in Porto
Ribeira is highly desirable in Porto and we just happened to stay at this phenomenal, clean, spacious, comfortable and QUIET place just above all the energy while looking out across the Douro river with the Episcopal palace shining down into our bedroom every night. We had no idea where to stay in Porto but now I know I'd never look elsewhere. Traffic exists everywhere but honestly there is no easier access than this apartment with a parking lot just down the street. Marc and Rita are super communicative, Rita is kind and helpful...even bringing extra towels and pillows for us. A short walk to the bridge to Gaia and near everything you could want to see in Porto. The pictures simply don't do this modern condo justice. Don't worry about the noise outside, they have soundproofing that is solid and the upstairs balcony is romantic and peaceful.

Fantastic Location and Beds
Our 5 nights at the property were more than we expected. One small timing issue upon checkout was easily managed by the host. We would certainly stay in the apartment again.

Perfect spot
This location is perfect. In the middle between an over the bridge day or up the hill through the historic town. Grocery store just around the corner . We hope to return

Location amazing. Views from the balcony amazing. Communication with the host was immediate. Other than bedspreads being switched, it was exactly as depicted in the photos. Would definitely book again without hesitation. The overall experience was A+. Would have liked newer/fresher towels, but that's nitpicking. Hope to book again some day.

Lots of stairs
This is a great location but was not our best stay. Way too many stairs and too much design over function. The table on the back deck hasn’t been cleaned in awhile so was unusable although the view from there would be lovely. Beds are comfy as is the couch. Building isn’t managed well so the elevator broke and they sent someone out to fix it but apparently not as then we got stuck in it for 45 minutes and they came again and still didn’t fix it. Big mix up with arrival so we stood on the street with our bags for 30 minutes. We will come back to Porto but wouldn’t stay there.

Excellent location and great view!
The apartment was very modern in a beautiful old building within walking distance to restaurants and shops. It is well equipped and very clean. The only thing to mention are the two sets of stairs before reaching the elevator making it difficult to carry luggage or for those who are mobility impaired. That said, the apartment was great and would highly recommend.
