This is a very lovely and cosy apartment right in the city centre. It's perfect for one or two people and equipped with everything you might need. It's recommended!

We stayed for 4 nights at this apartment in the center of Porto. The location is amazing - very close to the São Bento metro / train station and walking distance to multiple tourist attractions and Vila Nova de Gaia.
The apartment is clean and exactly as pictured. Very comfortable bed. The street can be a little loud due to the all the traffic but this was easily solved by getting some earplugs.
Célia was very responsive whenever we had any questions.
Highly recommended!

It's located right in the center of Porto near many of the tourist attractions. We really enjoyed walking across the Ponte Luís Bridge and along the Douro river. It's also really close to Porto Cathedral, Bolhão Market and many restaurants and shops.

We had a fantastic stay in this apartment. It’s modern, well-equipped, and clean. The host was easy to talk to and was very flexible during our stay. It’s located in the heart of Porto; couldn’t be any better. We would love to visit again!

Apartment is in a great central location! Very clean and good facilities. Note, the address is "Travessa da Rua Cha", not "Rua Cha" as I was confused on arrival because Google maps does not recognise the address. However the landlord was quickly available via WhatsApp to assist and it was close nearby.
The apartment was missing some key things essential for a long stay such as a chopping board, toilet brush (after 2 weeks I was able to ask housekeeping servicing another apartment for this), basic cooking ingredients (oil, sugar, salt/pepper) and basic cleaning supplies (dishwashing liquid, sponge). Also, only 2 coffee capsules were provided and there are no comfortable chairs for working at the table, only wooden stools. Although, the apartment seems to be quite new to being rented as all the saucepans and dishes still had the purchase stickers on them.
The airconditioner stopped working after one week and was not functioning for over a week and despite informing the landlord the day after this was discovered, I received little communication about when it would be fixed. Unfortunately this meant it was necessary to have the windows open for ventilation and the traffic, rubbish collection and nearby building noise was quite loud, especially for sleeping.
When I requested to extend my stay 2 extra nights, I was charged an inflated short stay rate, despite no extra housekeeping being required.
Nevertheless, I think most of the issues were due to the apartment being newly rented and otherwise, it is well appointed with the bed, linen and shower of excellent quality. It's also in a fantastic location! I would recommend staying here.

Great central location! I felt safe walking at night as it is a busy, well-lit area and the police station nearby. There are mini-markets just downstairs and lots of restaurants nearby. I would advise not to walk in the alleyway behind the apartment after dark.

It's a close walk to the bridge across to Gaia and the Jardim do Morro is amazing for sunset and special events. Praca Batalha nearby is a nice area for cafes, markets and free open-air cinema in the summer. Everywhere you want to go in Porto is within walking distance and in my opinion this is the best area to stay in Porto.

Due to an internal problem on the landlord's side, my reservation got cancelled a couple of weeks before I was due to move in. I contacted him directly and things got sorted out. He was very good at communicating with me. My reservation was re-booked and I moved in as planned.
