Inès met us for check-in and was delightful. She had many helpful tips and suggestions; we followed her suggestions for restaurants, areas to walk and a port-tasting; all of them were right on target. We really enjoyed our time in Porto thanks to her suggestions.
The apartment is in an old building that has been beautifully renovated and furnished with nice art and contemporary styling. It is on the fourth floor with no lift. It is very light and airy.
The apartment has a master bedroom in the back with a queen bed; although it has no windows there is an open passage into it from living room that lets in light and air. There is also a mezzanine that is open to the living room with two single beds. The stairs to access the mezzanine are quite steep. There is one bath with a shower, no tub. The kitchen has a microwave and small stove top as well as toaster and water kettle; it is equipped for light cooking. There was a lovely bottle of local wine to welcome us.
People should be aware that the since all the sleeping areas are open sound travels easily. I was comfortable there with my two grown kids but there was not a lot of privacy.
Overall we really enjoyed our visit and would happily return. Ines’ enthusiasm and helpfulness were really outstanding, as was the beautifully styled space.
