We booked 9 nights at Oporto Apartments and have just arrived home after an excellent vacation. Felipe and Ricardo were super helpful before we arrived and although we did not require any assistance during our stay, we’re confident that we would have had a quick response by phone or message. Upon check-in Felipe gave us excellent advice on how to start our Porto adventure.
Felipe was kind enough to arrange an airport pick-up with the wonderful Hugo who met us with a smile after we had a delay with our luggage. Hugo is an amazing source of knowledge about everything Porto and we had a great ride to the apartment learning about this historic city. Highly recommended!
The apartment has old world charm with a modern touch. Standing on the Juliet balcony with the classic ironwork and watching the boats sail by was unforgettable. Although we felt completely safe in the area, we appreciated the electronic entry door at street level and the solid deadbolts on the interior door.
The apartment was quiet as far as noise from neighbours upstairs. We were not at all bothered by the tourist trolley that passed by the front of the building, the little bistros downstairs, traffic or tourists as things became much quieter at bedtime.
The location is perfect! A 10 minute walk to the Louis I bridge where there are dozens of small restaurants on cobblestone lanes and about 20 minutes to the Sao Bento station where you can spend a whole day exploring little shops, historic buildings and incredible bakeries in the area. A laundromat is around the corner and a small grocery store with necessities (and wine!) is a few minutes away.
We are already planning our next visit and will definitely return to this apartment.
