Very good location and pleasant stay!

The property has all what you need. It was very clean which is big to me. They provided essential amenities, and very comfortable overall. Excellent location, short walk to the Douro river, Ribeira area. Excellent communication.

Great little hideaway on lively area

Great little spot in a fantastic location. 5 minute walk to stores, 10 to downtown strip. You’ll certainly get your steps in ;) I would absolutely go back. Management was attentive and friendly, everything was clean and easy to use. Felt like home

Great location with everything needed to explore the city and beyond. We stayed for 5 nights at the beginning of October 2023. The accommodation is easy to get to on public transport from the airport and is close to a bus stop and a short walk from the subway. Excellent central location for many of the top sights. The accommodation is well equipped with a good amount of cookware, crockery etc. It was clean and tidy. There is a washer drier and good sized fridge with small freezer, 4 ring ceramic hob and single electric oven so would be suitable for longer stays. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this accommodation.

Awful

I more-travel, I was provided no instructions on how to get in. When I arrived, no instructions, no note, no keys—nothing. I tried to contact the host—no response. I had to find a hotel. I likely will not use VRBO—certainly not a property managed by Getaway—again. Really awful.

Clean accommodation.Excellent value for money. Location is close to cafes and bars.

We were happy with the accommodation and with the added touch of the bikes to use. It does say check in at 4pm however when we turned up at the office to collect the keys ( which took a while to get to due to traffic), they said the property would not be ready until 6pm. This is far too late. Check out is normally 11am but they said that the cleaners were turning up at 10am.
