Nice space, but poor host, musty, and spiders
It's a nice space in a good location, but when we arrived the host couldn't be bothered to let us in early to drop off our luggage. So we were stuck with luggage for 6 hours, and the office was close by. There was a welcome GLASS of port; our previous location left the 7 bottle. We had to clean up particles, dirt and hair, and wash the floors ourselves on arrival. Dirty. Very musty smell downstairs and dehumidifier ran and filled continuously. 7 spiders killed in our bedroom. We were bitten and complained, so the host left a can of bug spray. No other communication althought they did "clean" again at our day 7. Host needs to learn how to host.

Fantastic flat
Party of four adults. We had a great stay, location is perfect, quite street, walking distance to all the sights. Apartment is secure and stocked with everything you would need. Due to rain we didn't use the backyard. If we make it back to Porto we would stay here again.

The apartment was very nice and clean and within a 15 minute walk to the Ribeira and The upper level of the Dom Luis bridge. It was outside the major tourist area, but give you access to it readily. We are glad we stayed here.

Modern and comfy with a well appointed kitchen and bonus outdoor spaces. Close to town. The Property Manager gave us lots of well organized information about Porto. Wanted to stay longer but we had to go home. Till next time.

First time in Porto
Nice upside down apartment It would be helpful in the info given to know that one of the bathrooms is on a different floor from the bedrooms In a quiet neighbourhood with a short walk to the centre Met by Ismael with a glass of port which was a nice touch I'm very picky about about cleanliness and it could've been cleaner There were lots of long dark hairs in the double bedroom and downstairs bathroom that could not have been from anyone in our party The musty smell downstsirs mentioned in other reviews was evident when we arrived the source of which i suspect is the shower which had mold around the base and especially when you are in the shower and the door closed the part revealed was thick with black mold It was nice to have some outdoor space and breakfast on the terrace was lovely but a bit of weeding would improve the outlook

Lovely stay in Porto!
This is an amazing apartment on a quiet side street out of the tourist madness. It sits in an older "classic" building, but the interior has been renovated and appears as pictured. Ana arranged for a much appreciated early check-in to match our train arrival. She greeted us with a cheery smile and a glass of port. Her dining recommendations were right-on! The apartment is is short walk down to a park overlooking the river and a short walk up to the local park, restaurants, shops, and bus stops. We found all we needed in the nearby supermercados and bakeries including the fantastic local wines that we drank on the deck each day. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor which is one flight down from the entry. The first floor living area was open and airy. The kitchen was well supplied. There were two bathrooms each having a shower. Since this was our first stop, we did not realize how luxurious that was. There were 4 of us and we were quite comfortable. We would highly recommend this apartment and MajordHome management company for your travel needs.

Great spot in Porto
A very well laid out, clean and conveniently located property in Porto. Check-in and supports were helpful and responsive. Only thing to note (and has been noted by others) is a musty smell, particularly noticeable in the lower level. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Convenient and comfortable for 2 couples.
Very convenient and comfortable apartment in a location near the river, a short but hilly walk to the historic center. We enjoyed our stay and felt quite secure. The apartment had everything we needed for a few days. The hosts were kind enough to email us a packet with nearby restaurants and sights for advance planning.

Super accueil à l arrivée. La petite intention du verre de porto à l arrivée est tres sympa. Bons conseils de restaurants et autres. Appartement bien placé, suffisamment loin pour etre au calme et suffisamment près du centre pour tout faire à pieds. Si besoin, n'hésitez pas à utiliser les services du chauffeur pour les transports aéroports/appartement et retour

Nice but not without difficulties
The property management team was very responsive until we actually got there. They were a bit snippy when I had a complaint, but made up for it when we had trouble operating the clothes washer. I recommend using them to get picked up from the airport, but not to the train station, because the cost is the same as it was from the airport for a 5-minute ride to the station. A taxi would have been a third of the cost. The description should be clearer & show that both bedrooms are down a steep flight of stairs. This was difficult for my mother & she fell once. Overall though, pretty good.

Sehr schönes App. mit Terrasse und Garten. Küche funktional eingerichtet., Räumlichkeiten angenehmes Design. Idealer Ausgangspunkt zu Ponte Luis , fussläufig 10 Min. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten auch in max. 20 min erreichbar. Leider war in der Küche weder Öl, noch Salz und Pfeffer bzw. Mülltüten. Auch das Toilettenpapier war knapp bemessen. Insgesamt empfehlenswert für einen Aufenthalt in Porto.
