Appartement Charmant dans le Centre historique de Porto - Haut Standing

Our stay in Porto was a very pleasant experience.

The response from Marc to any of our pre-visit queries, was prompt,helpful and friendly. Any queries we had during our stay were also dealt with great speed and courtesy.

The check in through Catia was effortless, and her assistance on our departure was superb.

The apartment is spacious,clean,well equipped and central to both the port and the centre of the city. Air con was very welcome.

The variety of shops,restaurants and coffee shops in the immediate area is fantastic.

It also is close to a number of small supermarkets,for your essential groceries.

May I suggest taking the 500 bus ( which can be boarded just outside the apartment) to transport you to the sea shore at Foz for the price of Euro 1.95. It really is twenty five minutes from "Door to shore".Fantastic.

This apartment is ideal for a family of six, so the four adults in our party had lots of room.

This is an excellent dwelling to explore a wonderful city,and region. Top marks.

We were two couples spending 5 nights in this apartment in a great location in Porto. Other reviews have mentioned that the second bedroom is in the middle of the apartment, and a third bedroom is a loft. As long as the renter is aware of this prior to arriving it is no problem. I think the designers were very creative in fitting in three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms into this space, while retaining, in my opinion, the wonderful character of the apartment! The location is great! The balconies that open in the front are great for enjoying the street view and cool evening air. The very tall windows and ceilings give it an air of old world charm, with modern, comfortable furnishings. The interior bedroom and loft are such a creative way to accommodate friends and family, while still having comfortable sitting areas. The elevator was great to have for moving suitcases in and out! There is a restaurant on the pedestrian street directly behind the apartment. It’s a great place to eat! There is no lack of good restaurants and lots to do within walking distance of this property! Note- we also took the Douro Valley River cruise operated by Cooltours do Porto (without having seen the comment first) and it was GREAT! Porto was a great city and area to visit, and I would recommend it to anyone, and I would recommend this apartment to those traveling with family or with good friends!

Kudos to Marc Jan and his assistant for providing a well-located and very well-maintained in the heart of Porto. Highly recommended.

Perfect location to get around Porto. Good restaurants to the left as you exit apartment. Tourist I office to the left as well. We did the yellow HOHO which covered major points of interest. The only drawback of apartment was no freezer in the frig. We always bring ice trays for ice. Outta luck here.

This is a lovely apartment in a renovated building. The elevator was great to have, two bathrooms made it very convenient for us...two couples. The balcony was fun to sit out on and people watch. Amenities were very good, though the refrigerator was just that...no freezer (for ice) though not a big deal. The apartment can sleep six ...has three king sized beds. The master bedroom with attached bathroom is very nice. However, one of the beds is in an open loft, so not a lot of privacy. The other bedroom is in the middle of the apartment...there are no windows and no air conditioning, ventilation. One wall is a half wall on the bottom and shutters that open (for ventilation and air conditioning from the living room) , and that close for privacy. There is a closet in that room. We managed fine, but some may have a privacy issue. The furniture is very comfortable, kitchen has all that you need for a great stay! We recommend this apartment. The location is perfect...close to everything. We recommend the small group Douro River tour through aviator with local company Cool Tour..it was an all day tour with a knowledgeable tour guide, wine tasting, lunch, river cruise, port tasting and absolutely gorgeous scenery!
