The host was very welcoming and helpful. The apartment was as described - a bit rustic but with everything one needs. Yes, one walks from the bedroom across the stairwell to get to the other side of the apartment where the bathroom and kitchen are. The balcony offers an amazing view of the waterfront. We were thankful to have space heaters to at least keep the bedroom area warm as we were there end of January and the weather was raw. We loved the location with so many restaurants nearby.
The bedroom - looking towards the stairwell/ hallway to kitchen and bathroom.
Looking down the stairwell from the top floor. (No elevator)

We couldn’t be happier with our stay. Luis was super easy to deal with and was kind enough to accommodate our exceptionally late (2:00 am) check in. You can’t beat the location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Porto home. When we arrived, Luis kindly met us in town and accompanied us to the apartment. We loved the balcony view. The location was perfect. There was so much to do in the area, all within walking distance.

Shelley and Cliff came to our flat after one week luxury cruise in the Douro valley. They have been very nice guests. Our flat, in an XVIII century building, cannot be compared to a luxury cruise but location of the flat and the river view is great, as Shelley recognized, so I just regret that the evaluation they have given is so low.

Louis sent clear instructions of how to get to the station near to his apartment and kindly met us at the station and took us to the apartment, excellent check-in. We were on the 3rd Floor, steep steps - we did expect this. Wished we had had the opportunity of renting the 1st floor as there were two beds in the bedroom. View from the balcony is to die for. The flat was clean, everything is as stated in the listing. A little more care in the bathroom needed regarding the mould. At night, outside could be quite noisy but that was to be expected. You could not wish for a better spot to visit restaurants and bars and also catch a boat ride. You can watch the sunset from the other side of the bridge which is in easy walking distance from the flat. Louis kindly offered for us to leave our cases until we went to the airport but we eventually declined. Check-out, great.

Thank you for your comments. In fact this flat is at the top floor, excellent views. As it is an XVIII century building, no lift. We are now installing an air extractor because of the humidity in the bathroom when you shower which provoques the mould stains.

Live like a local with the best view in Porto. What it lacks in glitz it makes up for in a million euro view and proximity to great restaurants, tourist attractions and shopping. Eight minute walk from Sao Bento and be prepared for the third floor hike. Luis provided excellent communication.

Great Location

Luis is a great host! He was communicating with us long before we arrived and made sure we found the place and provided some great insights to the area. We were able to get the key and drop off our luggage early and go exploring until check in time. It is quite an interesting historical building and the layout was as we expected from the description and reviews. Had all the amenities we expected and just sitting and looking at the view was amazing especially at night. So much to explore close by and short walk to the train station.
