The town that gave the country (and port wine) its very name, Porto is Portugal’s second-largest metropolis after Lisbon. Sometimes called Oporto, it's an age-old city that has one foot firmly in the industrial present. The old town, centered at Ribeira, was built on the hills overlooking the Douro River, and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 14th-century São Francisco church is a main attraction, as are the local port wine cellars, mostly located across the river at Vila Nova de Gaia.

I’m here with my family and it’s our 2nd night here. The room is fine but the WiFi is not working, there’s problems with the shower, no one changed our sheets and there’s not actually sheets for the blankets.. some worker just came and folded the blankets and that’s it. Also we asked for kettle as we arrived, and we got it, but we found out that 3 hours later someone just got into our apartment and took it back. But the worst part is that for all this problems there’s no worker to give us service. The reception guy came only for the check in, and from then there’s no one in the building. We didn’t expect for perfect service but at least for someone to be down here to ask if anything’s alright.

Es una casa antigua con las habitaciones muy modernas, cama cómoda, todo limpio, y pequeña cocina. No hay ascensor y estar en el último piso cuesta, pero vale la pena totalmente. Las vistas son espectaculares y estamos en el centro de Porto. Desde aquí se llega caminando ¡a todos lados! además, si se pide, tienen la opción de parking incluido en el precio, cosa que en el centro se agradece y mucho. El personal ha estado pendiente de nuestra estancia y hemos estado muy a gusto, todo limpio, moderno…ni si quiera las escaleras son un problema con todos los pros que hay.

Lovely friendly welcome. Very easy to collect key. Very informative welcome team. Locatio great, next to shops and night life. Mins to great places to shop and eat drink. The only down side is that bring on ground floor at front, it was really noisy all night with traffic so I would suggest you ask for a higher up room or one at the back. It is nice it has a littke garden. The apartment was also really pretty and clean.
