"This property is an absolute gem! Great location, fully equipped kitchen down to the details ie. olive oil, oven mitts, fruit bowl, etc. Douro river 5 min walk, little square nearby with restaurants, cafes, bakery, pasteis de nata, musicians perform at night. Staff attentive and responsive. We have 2 kids and weren’t able to do the wine tours, but the wine institute is two buildings down so we were able to do tasting by the glass there and enjoyed the quick intro. Spacious - unit much bigger...

"The apartment is fantastic and in a great neighborhood, very secure buildingl Most importantly however, was the unbelievable service from Jose. We had driven our rental car into the heart of Porto (not recommended!), and because of the subway construction, many roads are blocked and we couldn't find the best way to apartment.
