We enjoyed our stay at Rui’s place in Porto. They accommodated our early check-in and late check-out requests. They were responsive hosts.
The views of the Ponte Luis bridge from the living/dining and 2 of the bedrooms was delightful. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms had toiletries, which was appreciated. The kitchen was well stocked and the small toys for my kids were a nice touch.
The building has a small elevator, which is helpful especially for luggage, since the house is on the 4th floor. There are steps within the unit as the bedrooms are on the top floor. There’s an amazing atrium that lets the sunlight in through the roof in the central corridor. Each room had an inverter air con/heater.
The unit is in a historic building with beautiful stone accents throughout. With this though, comes an issue with the plumbing. While there were 5 bathrooms available, you could only use one shower at a time. We experienced this sort of water issue throughout our stays in Porto, the Algarve and Lisbon, at least with the water heater. We managed with 8 people, but just something to be mindful of.
Overall we really enjoyed the place and it’s convenient location in Ribiera. We would recommend it!
