Excellent location. Very good apartment. Very little noise from outside, because it is not by a car road. Normal living noises from neighbours can be heard. Nothing to complain about.

Great location in Ribeira, near the river and walking distance to all the sights, but relatively quiet on a small side street. The windows are modern and quite sound proof.The apartment is typically small, but very clean and well suited for a single or a couple. Nice modern design.On the fourth floor, but with an elevator (slow), which also helps with the street noise.Guests with mobility issues should be aware that access to the apartment is by walking up (or down) a fairly steep cobbled street (which is also true for much of the old center of Porto).Highly recommended.

Perfect location in the historic section and only steps away from the Douro River. We were able to walk to all things Porto. The apartment is clean, comfortable and convenient. We would surely stay again if we re-visit Porto.

The apartment was well kept and in a fantastic location near the water and sites. We very much enjoyed our time. Our hostess was easy to communicate with and gave us some helpful tips. The only down if there was one was the expectation that parking was available at no cost. Not sure why we were told that or thought that. But it was a 120 for our car at the designated lot.

Perfect 3rd floor apartment for two people. Small, quiet, clean, comfortable, great location. Old building but newly renovated. Hot in the summer (no A/C) but fan and light breeze with windows open was nice at night. Easy self check-in/out. Highly recommend!

Amazing location near river and sights! Property just as pictured. Comfortable bed (full/double), amazing water pressure in shower, minimal staples, working washing machine. Never did find the free parking but the road parallel to alley does not charge after 7 pm and Sunday so worked for us.
