Great apartment in a very nice city

We stayed at this lovely apartment for a week last week. We found that everything we needed was provided, and our host/manager Irene (who is terrific) even went out to buy us a corkscrew when it was noticed that there wasn't one on the premises. The location of the apartment is a bit away from the heart of the city, and expect to do some walking,busing or "Ubering", but not a problem. There is a supermarket a short distance away, and several fantastic bakeries very close by. The terrace is wonderful for watching the city wake up or go to sleep, and perfect for hanging out after a day of exploring charming Porto. Thank you Irene for being such a good host!

Apartment offers wonderfull facilites for either couples or families. Great kitchen with all cutlery necessary, even olive oil and spices are available for cooking. 2 Washing machines for clothing and dishes, plus oven, all nice and tidy, fully functional. Great smart TV, with Netflix and cable Tv, which we used a lot, since our 4 day stay, was for physical recovery. Other appliances such as iron and pressing board are available. Plenty of sunlight shines through the flat, even though windows are double glazed, some noise does come through, due to busy traffic at certain hours. Nice roof top for sun bathing, flat has lift as well for those with mobility problems. Sra Irene, the HOST, such a wonderfull person, who made our stay far more comfortable, fulfilling with so kind attention some minor situations of our last minute stay.

Great neighbourhood location

The property was exactly as advertised and lovely. The neighbourhood was great, friendly and safe with lots of options for groceries, baked goods, restaurants etc. An approx 20 min downhill walk to the river and the centre of Porto. Irene was fantastic. Due to Covid19 our plans changed quickly. We contacted Irene to see if checking in early was an option. Irene’s advice was to make our way to Porto from Spain ASAP as borders were rumoured to be closing and she had vacancy for us early. While we had 6 nights planned in Porto, we stayed 2 nights as our Government had requested all travellers repatriate ASAP. While we would have appreciated being reimbursed for those unused nights, we understand and are grateful for Irene’s guidance. We would not hesitate to book this location again, when health conditions in the World improve. Irene provided great communication and remained in contact with us by text while in Porto and upon our return home. Thank you Irene! Stay safe & healthy!

Porto October 2019

We both had a fantastic time in Porto and have come home recommending it as a city break to everyone. Irene is a brilliant host and couldn’t have been more helpful. The apartment itself was spotless and well designed. It’s every bit as nice as the photos! Location wise we prefer to stay in a more residential districts and Lapa is just that, it’s close to two metro lines but we enjoyed getting lost wandering the streets of Porto most of the time. Meet were also lucky enough to make use of the roof terrace, despite it being late October! Thank you again Irene, we’d certainly come back and stay again! Chris and Danica x

Modern stylish apartment

The apartment is furnished and adorned with taste. You kitchen is well equipped, with some necessary basic stuff like olive oil or salt. The bathroom is small but functional, the bed comfortable. Irene is very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the noisy road with busses, vans etc. So if you are sensitive to noise don't forget your ear plugs. Then you will have nothing to complain about.

Beautiful apartment felt like home

I stayed in the Luis 1 for most of the month of October 2018. It's a lovely modern apartment with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Kitchen is fully outfitted; comfortable bed; the whole place was very clean. Wish I had used the terrace more, but it was almost always hot and sunny up there (not that I'm complaining about the beautiful weather). The neighborhood is a nice mix of residences and small shops, convenient to downtown and other neighborhoods which are fun to explore. The best resource of this property is its manager, Irene. She was always available and helpful, very gracious and good humored. I had an excellent stay.

Lovely place, little confused about the billing.

The apartment was beautiful and very clean. The rooftop deck was fabulous Irene was very welcoming and helpful, the location was a little farther from the center than I thought, about 20+ mins walk, The bed was hard but some people like that. Everything was fine until checkout when we were asked for more money for taxes in cash! We should have been informed before hand not at check out, as we had already paid beforehand for the apartment through Vrbo . She was still texting is for more money even after we left. Too bad

Antes demais, quero atribuir a quota parte de culpa à Homeaway pelo incidente desagradável que não soube resolver até hoje, e que vou aqui expor. Foi difícil tomar a decisão de usar do nosso direito à resposta ao comentário dos hospedes, que em tudo foi influenciado por uma interpretação errada do facto de os ter contactado após o check out, só assim é compreensível a mudança radical de opinião que se deu entre o momento da saída e o dia seguinte. Então passo a contar: um dia depois dos hóspedes saírem recebemos da Homeaway a informação do montante de pagamento da estadia, e logo aí descobri que a segunda tranche de pagamento da estadia (65%) que supostamente deveria ser paga 4 dias antes da estadia, afinal não tinha sido paga! E não houve sequer, como habitualmente, um qualquer mail da Homeaway a informar que deveríamos ser nós a solicitar o pagamento no check in ou durante a estadia. Os hospedes provavelmente baseados na convicção que forneceram a informação para pagamento com o seu cartão de crédito nunca se deram ao trabalho de verificar esta situação. Já durante o check out, a questão da taxa turística causou algum desconforto nos hospedes quando os informei que só tinham pago a estadia à Homeaway e que teriam de as pagar directamente ao alojamento, mas com alguma calma lá consegui acalmar a desconfiança criada. Despedi-me dos hospedes que seguiam para outro ponto do país com a sensação que deixamos a melhor das impressões a todos os níveis. ...Assim que constato a falta de pagamento começo a enviar a primeira mensagem, e a partir daí todos os contactos por escrito foram ignorados e deram origem ao que eu considero uma péssima avaliação aqui, para quem escreveu e demonstrou, ainda na casa ter gostado imenso da estadia. Ainda assim fiquei descansada pela boa impressão que tinha, pareciam pessoas serias e honradas e achei que o assunto iria resolver-se rapidamente, julgava eu, até porque a Homeaway esclareceria o assunto com os hóspedes. Não suspeitava eu que desde aí nada disso aconteceu. Até hoje, desde o dia 10/set/18 nunca mais conseguimos cobrar os 156,00€ em débito. Consegui que a Homeaway solicitasse uma única vez o pagamento ao cliente que indicou que após o regresso de férias trataria do assunto, e nunca o fez até hoje. Lamento que este casal me tenha deixado ficar mal perante a Urban Views, exigiria no mínimo o pagamento e um pedido de desculpas. Respeitosamente, Irene Veiga on behalf of Urban Views AL Oporto. Porto, 17 de Outubro de 2018.

Sehr lässige, moderne Wohnung im Herzen von Porto!

Wir waren zu dritt in Porto und haben bei Urban Views eine wunderbare Wohnung gefunden! Sie liegt sehr zentral (man kann viel zu Fuß erreichen oder per Bus - Haltestelle direkt gegenüber!) an einer befahrenen Straße: also richtig urbanes feeling! Die Dachterrasse (sie ist für beide Wohnungen im Haus nutzbar) ist der Hammer: hier hatten wir regelmäßig morgens unseren Frühstückskaffee oder auch mal einen kleinen Imbiss am Abend... extrem lässig! Parken kann man direkt an der Straße (regelmäßig Ticket lösen) oder es gibt nahegelegen eine Parkgarage. Die Ausstattung und Einrichtung sind wunderbar. Das Bad ist etwas klein - aber sehr modern und sauber. Der Kontakt zu Irene ist unglaublich freundlich: sie stand uns immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite ... ob Tipps oder Hilfe, wir konnten uns jederzeit bei ihr melden!

Perfect for my purposes

The apartment was cozy, modern, comfortable and well appointed. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the location was good (I was working; it's about a 10 minute walk to the tourist areas in the city center). The upstairs terrace was a great feature. The host, Irene, was friendly and super helpful. I couldn't have been happier, a great home away from home. I'll stay again if it's available the next time I'm in Porto.
