Enjoy this quiet and refurbished apartment where all the rooms have great views over the city, the port wine lodges, the river Douro and Luis I bridge. It has a spacious living/dining area.
The apartment is located in an iconic building in the historic city centre, on the hill, halfway between the Cathedral of Porto and Luis I bridge, in Ribeira. To the apartment there is pedestrian access only, along 80 steps/stairs, either down from the Cathedral or up from the river. It may be a drawback if you have mobility concerns, but it does afford you privacy, peacefulness and fabulous views in one of the most genuine quarters of Porto :-)
It's at 2 minutes walk from the famous Ribeira with its restaurants, bars and boat trips, 2 minutes from the cathedral, and 7 minutes from São Bento station.

We really enjoyed the fabulous views from this lovely appartment. Its is located midway between Cathedral and the the riverside - we were given a free lift pass for the week, which helped to avoid some of the steps. The Host was very helpful and met us at the local station, and assisted us to carry our luggage down the steps. The appartment is very well equiped.

The location is just down from Porto Cathedral and is very central to both sides of the river.
The host Claudia is very helpful and kept in contact with us when we arrived in Porto.
There are steps down or up to the property but treat it as a health initiative.
The apartment was perfect, excellent location to get anywhere and amazing views. The host was wonderful as well and we were able to get in touch with her if there was anything we needed. Would not hesitate to return or to recommend.
This rental in Porto was in such a great location. The elevator down to the river was so convenient and we easily got across to the other side of the river by foot. We enjoyed sitting in the living room enjoying the view. Perfect for a couple or a family of four. They even left bread and cookies upon arrival which was great because we were so hungry. Claudia was amazing!
Various spacious property with a great view over the river. Located near the main square by the river but quiet enough not to be affected by noise.
The host was friendly and helpful, especially when arriving and explaining with key information.
The apartment had everything we needed for a 3 night stay.
Those with walking difficulties may struggle to reach the place as it's a lot of steps up from the ground floor but there is a lift nearby which you can use during normal working hours.
The apartment is good value and we would return.
