Awesome Apartment in a great location

The apartment was very nice and just as pictured. The church across the street was an amazing view. The unit is in a pastry shop which is downstairs, which is owned by the same people. The hosts were delightful!! Each morning you get to go down and have breakfast. Yum! We would not hesitate to stay here again, loved it. Thanks!

Ideal location

The apartment looks exactly as the pictures show. If you need an extra bed the owners are happy to provide a comfortable cot. We would definitely stay in the Almond Biscuit apartment again.

Perfect location with exceptional breakfast at the cafe on the premises. The hosts were friendly and accommodating . The apartment was roomy and well equipped with a very comfortable bed. We would recommend this VRBO to anyone traveling to Porto.

1month Stay

Property is in a great central location. We were able to walk to the bus and train station for day trips to Aviero, Braga, Matosinhos and Pinhao in the Douro Valley, which should not be missed. Luis and Elisa are wonderful hosts, would definitely stay again.

Flat above bakery

We really enjoyed the area. The flat was great. The building is lovely with a wide staircase. Being on the third floor with high ceilings means a heck of a lot of stairs, especially after going up and down hills. This is, of course, more of an issue when hauling suitcases. However, the flat does make-up for that. The only issue was that we were looking forward to having breakfast at the bakery each day and did not find out until just before we got there. They were kind enough to leave some food though, but it was disappointing.

Great location

Everything is as advertised except the Murphy single bed has become a comfortable sofa…4 feet long…making it hard to have 3 people. VRBO ad should be changed. Otherwise, just excellent..clean, safe, well equipped. Easy for us to recommend to a couple.

Gem in a wonderful area

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The view from our windows was amazing. There were so many options for dinners and as an added bonus breakfast was included in our stay. Breakfast was amazing and we enjoyed sitting outside on the Primar patio every morning with our coffee. The actual unit was beautiful with high ceilings and great features. Transit was just outside the front door and the tram stop was outside the back. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Picturesque Porto

The Almond Biscuit apartment was absolutely perfect, comfortable and truly picturesque with the balcony view of the church, the square and the bustling activity all around! The entrance stairs from the bakery to the third floor showcased the beauty of the restored interior; a unique entrance to our experience in Porto staying over the bakery Primar. It is a perfect location for staging walking trips around the city. Luis and Elisa are superb hosts and very attentive to the needs of the guests as they run their busy bakery. Treats, pastries and breakfast were yummy and the basket left at the door on Saturday night, a lovely breakfast picnic for Sunday! Looking forward to returning to Porto and staying here again!!

Zentral in Porto

Wir hatten erlebnisreiche Tage in einer zentral gelegenen Unterkunft in Porto. Viele Highlights und gute Rssaturants in direkter Umgebung, gute Verkehrsanbindung mit den städtischen Bussen von direkt vor der Haustür. Sehr zuvorkommende Betreuung durch das Inhaber-Ehepaar, morgens ein schönes Frühstück auf der Terasse vor dem Cafe. Leider derzeit etwas lauter, da nahebei eine neue U-Bahn-Station gebaut wird.

Almond Biscuit was a lovely apartment close to lots of things to see. It was quiet at night. The breakfast included each day was lovely and it was wonderful to have a place for a snack just below us .

Very enjoyable

Accommodation excellent location. Airy 3rd floor flat. Facilities all we needed. Despite being a festival weekend and the ongoing metro works nearby slept well on a very comfy bed. Enjoyed an early morning cup of coffee sitting in the rocking chair looking out to the church over the road. Bus 601/602 to airport right outside.

Almond Biscuit delight

We stayed 8 nights in the Almond Biscuit - 4th floor apartment with great views. The space was perfect for the 3 of us (2 adults and 11 year old kid). It offers easy access many sights & restaurants, and is very close to public transportation. It’s above a pastry shop!

Fabulosa!

I had a fabulous 6 week experience at the Almond Biscuit! Elisa, Luis, and their entire staff were such a pleasure. I started each day with a delicious breakfast served with a smile. (Although the bed was so comfy it was often hard to wake up). The location is so central to everything. In addition to all of the historic sites, I really enjoyed the beautiful parks close by (Jardim da Cordoaria, Parque das Virtudes, and Jardins do Palacio de Cristal). The gorgeous view of the Carmos/Carmelitas churches outside the windows (especially at night) was a special treat. I hope to return again someday!

Fantastic property!

One of the best places we have ever stayed. The location was wonderful. The unit itself was perfect, incredibly clean, had comfortable beds, and any amenities you might need. The breakfast every morning at the cafe was absolutely wonderful. This was our favorite place we stayed while in Portugal and would love to return soon!

Wonderful Place to stay in Portugal

My husband and I enjoyed every minute staying at this apartment. It was clean and uncluttered, easy to find to outstanding instructions how to access the apartment. It is located near to most attraction places to visit. The apartment was located in a busy street but we never had a problem with the noise, and slept sound. We enjoyed the view from the window/balcony since there was a beautiful church right across from the apartment. The breakfast included was delicious every morning. We sure loved it. If we visit Portugal again we will definitely stay in this location again.

Perfect Porto Stay!

We had an apartment at the front…2 Lovely rooms overlooking the square and the cathedral…kitchen sitting room, bedroom and bathroom…everything we needed… very comfortable and close to everything we wanted to see. Elisa and Luis are wonderful hosts, very friendly, helpful and kind. The breakfasts are delicious! It was lovely trying the different kinds of breakfast and choosing an included cake from all the wonderful pastries and cakes the bakery sells. All in all…a fantastic experience! It made us love Porto even more!

This tidy apartment has so much of Porto within walking distance or quick taxi or Uber rides. Our stay was too brief to appreciate the kitchen amenities, but the bed was comfortable and the view of the church inspiring. We would be happy to stay here on future visits to Porto.
