Excellent location, beautiful rooms. The property manager was super responsive over whatsapp and even allowed us to check in a couple of hours early. The room is spacious with a fully equipped kitchen. The location is walking distance to everything (about 8-10 minutes from the main churches and Livraria Lello). The building is very old, which can sometimes cause the bathroom to smell, but overall it was excellent value for the money.

Excellent location: very close to Ribeira, Dom Luiz bridge, Gaia. Numerous restaurants and convenience stores close to apt. Very quiet street and building. Used the metro to reach soccer stadium, the tramway for fun and the bus to reach the beaches - walking everywhere was easy uphill or downhill!

Basement with a view

Very comfortable apartment, good facilities, nice view, well furnished, small cosy terrace. We were expecting the apartment to be on an upper floor but it's actually down a few steps from street level, but it's on a hill so the view of the river is over the rooftops at the back.

The location once I actually found it was brilliant - and the property itself lovely. There was loads of hot water and the bed was super comfy. The shutters didn't close properly however which let in a slight draft from the windows and I could have done with a few cleaning products to tidy up before I left. The main issue really was in trying to find it, communication was good but it wasn't explained that I had to collect the keys from no. 19 and the property itself was further up the road. Knowing this would have been quite helpful as I would have known better what I had to do.

Besides the 134 steps up to the apartment :), the stay was amazing. It is the perfect location in Porto. Walking distance to most attractions and great restaurants in the area. The apartment was the perfect size. Juan, who welcomed us, was very helpful with any information we required. The beds were very comfy and it had all the amenities you require for a great stay.

Great views and clean

The flat had an amazing view to the river, was modern, clean and large, and the checkin staff was friendly and helpful. The location was excellent to walk to the nearby area but if you arrive late at night it can feel a bit dodgy as it's very quiet and dark. We booked the 1 bedroom apartment which actually was more like a studio with the room separated by the wall without a door, so it might not be ideal if more than two people are sharing and want more privacy. Overall a good stay.
Negative comments: 1) The bed was not made properly. The duvet should be INSIDE the duvet cover, not just in between a sheet and the cover (maybe too much effort for the housekeeper?)! I had to make the bed properly myself. Also, there was no mattress protector which is very unhygenic!!
2) There were no basic kitchen supplies, like coffee/tea, salt and oil, so it is impossible to cook or have breakfast there without buying every single basic thing you need, which is inconvenient for a short stay. We stay at apartments often and most of the time they have some basic supplies.

Great Location! Very comfortable.

It's a little hard to find, but with Andreia's help we got there. We lucked out and got a good free parking spot a block away. Easy walk (well not too easy as Porto is a very hilly place!) to central square and promenade - less than 10 minutes to both. Comfortable room with everything you would need. Had the room on the top floor with a nice view down the river. Only minor problem was a very noisy flooring - old wood that creaked a lot, and up several flights of stairs. Neither was a problem that hurt our stay. It is not a deluxe apartment, but for the price it was well worth it.

Great location, fantastic apartment but poor sleep

Having an apartment in the perfect location with kitchen facilities is fantastic. The only let down was the noise from the fridge next to the bed, the noise from the main door of guests coming and going plus the traffic from the street (the ground floor is directly next to the street). Maybe the larger apartments on the higher levels eliminate this issue, but if noise disrupts your sleep, then avoid booking the ground floor.

great location and quality apartment

We stayed here for 4 nights and loved our time. The apartment is super close to absolutely everything and we could easily walk everywhere. Just be aware that OPorto is extremely hilly (so lots of stairs and steep hills). We were picked up by the shuttle service they offer for just under 30 euros which is extremely overpriced we found out later- you can get a train from the airport to the Sao Bento train station for 1.9 euros... And the Sao Bento station is only a 10 minute walk away. We were greeted by Andrea who was super friendly and explained everything; even gave us a map and recommendations on where to eat. Our time at the bnapartments was great. Shower and toilet was great and kitchen was well equiped, although no bowls for cereal in the morning... Also no washing machine for clothes but that wasn't an issue for us. great views from our room which we loved. Highly recommend staying here; fixed the boxes just perfectly for us.

Great views from rooftop patio

Excellent base for exploring Porto with many good bars and restaurants on the doorstep. Top floor studio meant three flights of stairs but worth it for the rooftop patio. Check in was smooth and the lady who met us was very helpful in recommending local eateries, etc.

Studio was compact but everything needed, right down to a microwave and dishwasher (as if I'm going to use that on holiday!) Terrific value and I would highly recommend.

Initially worried by other reviews of noise but it was really quiet and peaceful

Great clean hotel with good customer service.

The good:
Everything except the loud birds outside in the morning and the floors was very squicky because of the wood.

The location the view the service was all good.

Get the shuttle as it was only €3 more compared to the taxi and the driver was on time. We tipped the driver €4 since he was very nice and was explaining different places to go.

Check in was easy and fast. Will recommend it %100 if small things like bird noises don't bother you haha

Affordable and scenic comfort and convenience

Porto is a delightful city of history, monuments, spectacular scenery, and dining, and weather was generally cooperative during my six days (February 2017); room had access to terrace with views of Douro River and opposite shore; public transit (buses and metro) a real plus, allowing me unlimited rides for €15/three days. Be prepared to hike up the hill which I found easier than carefully navigating downhill. Fortunately, only a half day of drizzle, so cobblestones and pavements not overly slick. I spent two days in the northern suburb of Matosinhos where the Douro empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Great fish restaurant at Mercado, Taberna Luisitana.

Good Central Location

We were in Porto for a friends wedding and so wanted a place to stay which had a central location.
The apartments themselves don't look great from the outside and when we first arrived we were a little concerned with the road on which they were situated.
However once inside, we had the top floor superior apartment, which had a big king size bed, kitchenette, and bathroom.
The room itself was very clean and well decorated. The room does't have air conditioning but we were provided with a fan.
The location of the apartments is very good, we were only a 5/10 minute walk from both Porto town and the river which was perfect for us.
Overall we had a lovey stay in Porto and would recommend these apartments as a good central base.

Ein an sich schönes Apartment in bester Lage in Porto. In unserem Apartment in der 3. Etage hatten wir von der kleinen Terrasse einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf den Fluss. Der Service von Hotel war super, weshalb auch die doch noch positiv ausfällt. Leider gab es auch negative Punkte, wie z.B. die schimmlige,verkalkte (in beiden Appartements) und kleine Dusche. Außerdem war die Heizung in einem Bad defekt, in einem Apartment waren Schaben, in dem anderen Ameisen und Wasserflecke an der Decke des unteren Apartments. Einige Punkte wurden allerdings innerhalb eines Tages beseitigt, soweit es möglich war.. Es wurde uns auch möglich gemacht das Gepäck am Abreisetag im Appartement zu lassen. Man muss auch ein bisschen Glück haben welches Appartement man bekommt, weil es wohl modernere und nicht so moderne gibt. Sieht man mittlerweile aber auch auf den Bildern.

Ficamos hospedadas no estúdio do térreo e, no geral, a estadia foi razoável.
Pontos positivos: A localização é boa, conseguimos visitar todo o centro histórico a pé. A cozinha é pequena, mas funcional.
Pontos negativos: Tivemos problema ao fazer o check-in, pois chegamos no horário combinado e não havia ninguém para nos receber em frente ao nº 19, conforme a confirmação da reserva. Ficamos por 30 minutos com as malas e debaixo de chuva em frente ao número 19 , tentando contato com o responsável, até que nos viram e nos avisaram que o apartamento era no número 54 da mesma rua. Deveria ao menos ter um aviso em frente ao número 19 para o hóspede automaticamente se dirigir ao número 54.
O espaço do box de chuveiro é muito pequeno e molha todo o banheiro ao tomar banho. Falta pano de chão para o banheiro, já que molha muito e para a cozinha.
A limpeza estava razoável, o carpete próximo da cama estava molhado quando chegamos.

God beliggenhed, knap så god komfort.

Rigtig god beliggenhed, tæt på alt hvad man gerne vil se. Det er knap så rent og sengen trænger til nye madrasser, vi var der i november og værelset var meget koldt og svært at varme op. Vi var dog i byen hele dagen og skulle bare have et sted at sove og gå i bad og der var altid dejlig varmt vand.

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!

El apartamento es espectacular y cuidan hasta el más mínimo detalle. Las vistas son maravillosas. Muy buen gusto en la decoración. Muy recomendable para tu viaje a Oporto, a un paseo de todas las zonas y monumentos a conocer.
Solo tuvimos un inconveniente con el wifi, que dejó de funcionar y no conseguimos volver a usarlo, aunque ahora ya no es un gran problema con el tráfico roaming europeo. Por las mañanas son algo escandalosos con la limpieza de otros apartamentos. 100% recomendable.

Hotel limpio bien equipado con buena localización

La recepción por parte del personal del hotel fue excelente. Se ocuparon de nuestras maletas e incluso pudimos entrar en la habitación antes de la hora prevista que habitualmente tienen establecida. El apartamento está muy limpio y bien equipado, el que tenga cocina es un plus en caso de ir querer cocinar en algún momento. Se ubica cerca todos los lugares de interés, en una calle con pendiente y empedrada,como todo Oporto, con edificios que se están restaurando, principalmente para viviendas de alquiler turístico. Ambiente tranquilo, sólo las gaviotas nos despertaron. Fuimos andando a todos los sitios. La limpieza es de destacar, sin embargo, en algunos momentos puntuales sale del baño un olor a cañería. Esto debe solucionarse.
