Charming old house

We enjoyed our stay at the Ivy House. It is very spacious and well located, very close to the river and within walking distance of most attractions. There was only 1 thing we didn't like. The bedroom on the pictures that has a stoned wall is on the main floor and is rather dark, cold and musty.

Great place just off centre of Porto

This is a lovely house just away from the centre but walkable to everywhere. Neighbourhood is safe and friendly. The owner arranged airport transfers each way, which were useful but perhaps slightly expensive. Lovely welcome from our hostess who explained where to go, where to eat, where to avoid etc and kept in contact throughout to make sure everything was ok. The place is a quirky layout, centred round a central spiral staircase but pointing in different directions at different levels. The property seemed much larger because of the layout. There were all the necessary facilities, everything nice and clean. There are a few niggly things that stops it being perfect but it was reasonably priced, and offers good value. The only negative comment I’d make is that, arriving late on a Sunday with no shops open, there was no welcome pack of basics like milk and water and bread.

Perfect Mix of Old and New

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house itself is unique and beautifully restored, providing the perfect mix of the old (exposed timber and stone) with modern kitchen and baths. Felt very spacious. The host Carlos was responsive and even accommodated a special request on our arrival day. The location is just outside the core tourist district, but avoids the hustle and bustle while still being reasonable walking distance to all the major attractions. Easy access to the trolley for a trip out to the beach. Neighborhood is not polished, but felt safe enough and is a good option if you want to a more organic Porto experience. Overall, we’d recommend staying here and would definitely rebook. Thanks for a great stay!

Porto on the River

We had a wonderful time in Porto. The apartment was better than the pictures and we give it high marks over all. It is a great location. You cN walk across the bridge to port cellars and tastings and easily make your way up the scenic streets to the old train station with the beautiful tile and historic section of town. The apartment had so much historic charm, but has been redone with modern features. The only slight complaint might be the hard bed in the upper bedrooms. We highly recomend this place and feel you will mot be disappointed.
