“Loved it and cant wait to go back”

We stayed in the top floor apartment which has 2 beds and a sofabed. This is not the apartment with the balcony/patio which I would love to try next time. The apartment was perfect for a winter stay. With a huge window facing the Douro river, the view is absolutely stunning both day and night. The … more

We stayed in the top floor apartment which has 2 beds and a sofabed. This is not the apartment with the balcony/patio which I would love to try next time. The apartment was perfect for a winter stay. With a huge window facing the Douro river, the view is absolutely stunning both day and night. The apartment is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. We stayed over Christmas and though we didn't cook we did prepare and heat food. We had everything we needed there. Anna was our host, she greeted us upon arrival and was very flexible with our check-in process. She was so friendly and helpful, she left us with so much information that we didn't actually need to call her while we were there (we stayed for a week). The neighborhood is amazing. It is so beautiful. On the very first night, we found a restaurant, Intrigo, right next door to the apartment that was the best dining experience we had during our whole stay in Porto. It was a pleasure leaving the apartment to walk out to the cobblestone streets in the morning and just as nice to return at night to the apartment with the view of Douro and Gaia, the bridges and the lights from the port wineries across the river. I give this my best grade and reviews and again, I really look forward to going back there. Hopefully this year.

“Amazing view, great apartment!!”

My husband and I stayed four nights at bnapartments Rio. A few days before our arrival we received an email to set up a meeting for check-in. We were greeted outside the apartment by Barbara. She had also called in advance to confirm she was waiting for us. She was very friendly and gave us all the information we needed for our stay. The apartment was spacious, quiet and had everything we needed including a fully equipped kitchen and wifi. It didn't have AC but there was a fan which was very helpful. But the best part was the view over the river! We couldn't get over how fantastic it was. The location was great. It was close to the center/river but at the same time on a quiet street so we could get a good night's sleep. The closest metro stop was Sao Bento which was 10 minutes away on foot. If we go back to Porto we would definitely stay there again!

“Rua Francisco Rocha Soares 54: good location, clean studio apartment, but without a “real” window (hardly any daylight)”

studio apartment - 2nd floor Positive • good communication upfront • efficient check-in process • clean apartment with all necessary appliances • wifi working well • good location … just 10 minutes walk to the Cais de Ribeira • close to final stop of bus line 601 (airport line) Negative • They c… more

studio apartment - 2nd floor Positive • good communication upfront • efficient check-in process • clean apartment with all necessary appliances • wifi working well • good location … just 10 minutes walk to the Cais de Ribeira • close to final stop of bus line 601 (airport line) Negative • They charge 8 Euro extra for a late check-in (after 20.00h) • Actually no window in the apartment .. just a “balcony” door leading to a balcony with just walls around … you could only see a little bit of the sky if you look straight up – the pictures shown on the booking.com site were taken without revealing the “almost-no-daylight” situation – and they show different apartments – so you were somehow mislead • Very small shower … you could hardly get into the narrow shower cubicle and you could hardly bend over to soap yourself up (and I am a regular grown up man … not fat) • actually a quiet location, but the floorboards of the apartment above have creaked quite loudly
