Excellent location
Loved the location of this apartment. Although on a busy street, it was very quiet to sleep. Very clean and the hosts were very responsive. However, a few concerns about the apartment. The lower level bedroom had a very hard uncomfortable bed, and the bathroom was dark and no place to put toiletries. Also, upper level had a terrace with a beautiful view, but was in poor condition (wood boards raised that were tripping hazard, and to no fault of the owner, the seagull poop all over made it impossible to be outside. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives

The only place you should stay in Porto
Ribeira is highly desirable in Porto and we just happened to stay at this phenomenal, clean, spacious, comfortable and QUIET place just above all the energy while looking out across the Douro river with the Episcopal palace shining down into our bedroom every night. We had no idea where to stay in Porto but now I know I'd never look elsewhere. Traffic exists everywhere but honestly there is no easier access than this apartment with a parking lot just down the street. Marc and Rita are super communicative, Rita is kind and helpful...even bringing extra towels and pillows for us. A short walk to the bridge to Gaia and near everything you could want to see in Porto. The pictures simply don't do this modern condo justice. Don't worry about the noise outside, they have soundproofing that is solid and the upstairs balcony is romantic and peaceful.

Fantastic Location and Beds
Our 5 nights at the property were more than we expected. One small timing issue upon checkout was easily managed by the host. We would certainly stay in the apartment again.

Perfect spot
This location is perfect. In the middle between an over the bridge day or up the hill through the historic town. Grocery store just around the corner . We hope to return

5 stars
Location amazing. Views from the balcony amazing. Communication with the host was immediate. Other than bedspreads being switched, it was exactly as depicted in the photos. Would definitely book again without hesitation. The overall experience was A+. Would have liked newer/fresher towels, but that's nitpicking. Hope to book again some day.
