Awesome little apartment in the heart of the old town area, close to shopping and completely walkable. We saw complaints about it being loud, but if you close ALL the windows it is very quiet even when the street is packed on a Friday night. For American travelers: first floor means second floor in Europe. Ground floor is zero there. The elevator is on the first floor in European terms, so you will need to haul your baggage up a flight of stairs. We did not realize that, but that error is on us for not understanding the difference in terminology. Also, apartments don’t have dryers in Europe, so be prepared to hang your clothes to dry. Bring a clothesline. We would stay here again!

The property was really spacious, clean, quiet and safe. Dining and many attractions are in walkable distance. Just that washing machine was not working in my room which was a bummer for me as I booked because of that. Also, Iron box was not available. Checkin will be done at different place which is 50m away from the apartment. I was not able to reach the property owner via phone or message. May be, I should have contacted the person at the checkin hotel

Good location as we did some cooking and we’re near food stores as well as restaurants. Also good for public transportation. Clients need to know that checkin is at the nearby Hotel do Norte, and that luggage needs to be carried up one flight to the lift after entering the apartment building. We were grateful for quick response to service requests and having washer, cooktop, microwave and refrigerator.

We stayed in appartment 1b, on arrival we collected our keys from Hotel Do Norte which was just around the corner from the appartment, the staff at the hotel were happy, helpful and friendly.
The apartment was on the main shopping high street, yet when in the apartment you wouldn't know you were above a busy high street as it was very quiet. The apartment its self was extremly clean and smelt very devine! It was equipped with everything you would expect in a self catering accommodation. The location was superb, we said a few times whilst there, that it was a perfect location to walk to all the attactions we had planned to see, plus came across many others on the way due to the perfect location, also having the Sao Bento metro station on the corner was a bonus.
We wasnt sure what apartment we were getting from the pictures in the advert, but we ended up with 1B which could have slept 5 people, 1 superking 1 double and 1 single, all comfortable and clean lining for the bedding. We did think we were going to have a balcony but the appartment we stayed in didnt, but this was not a concern for us, we were out exploring from morning until evening. Lovely brautiful city (now one of our favourites) we would highly recommend!

Good location

It’s not easy to find the location of this apartment, however, the check in staff gave us a detailed information to locate for the apartment. Her service was good. The apartment was just located within the shopping area. It was just 2-3min walk from metro station. Luckily there’s lift for this apartment, however, we still have to climb 1level of stairs to the lift.

Backpackers delight. Not luxury apt!!

Check-in at Hotel do Norte, which is 2 mins walk from the apartments. Receptionist was very helpful and provided a tourist map, marked with nearby shops to buy essentials during the stay. Enquired about room cleaning and towel changes and told it should be done every 2 days {more on this later}.

The apartment is adjacent to Via Catarina shopping complex. The ground floor of the apartment building is used as a rent-a-car service.
The street is busy from dawn until late evening, felt very safe but there's lots of beggars.

We stayed four nights in Apartment 3A. You will need to carry luggage to the first floor for the elevator.
If you view the photo slides, the 1st and 9th shows Apt-3A, but in reality the bedding and fixtures are well used. The single bed is well overdue a new mattress and pillow set!
The wardrobe has a few manky hangers that should had been thrown out long ago.
The kitchenette area is OK with working fridge, toaster, kettle and microwave.

The bathroom is a huge let down. Very small and the sink is no larger than one found on a airplane.
Be prepared for 2 minute showers or make sure you shower before the people in your group. If you're the third person to shower, good luck!

We had bath towel changes on the 3rd night. Bedding was not changed and no toiletries. Would prefer towel swap on 2nd night!

Overall not a great apartment! If you do book avoid Apt-3A. In hindsight I would pay more to get a better room in this great city.

Home style stay; value

Its a private condo(home) which is being rented out as Hotel; so it has all comforts of home (laundry was a +); But no food/service etc; Since its in a busy street; you wont miss anything; Also this is managed a Hotel property in same street corner; so nobody will be there at this Condo and you have to collect keys from hotel(2 min walk).
main train station is a 10-15 min walk and you can get anywhere from there.
Overall very convenient stay; If you are looking at room service and breakfast at the table; this is not for you; great for back packers !!

Clean apartment and good location

The apartment was very close to the train station and right in the heart of the shopping district. Key sites are within walkable distance. We booked for 3 people but the apartment could easily fit 5 people.
The apartment does not have a reception and the keys have to be picked up at a nearby hotel. This was not mentioned in the booking, luckily we had someone in the apartment that guided us to the hotel which is only minutes away.
The only negative is that the hot water system was not that great. The water started getting cold by the second person. Otherwise it was a good place to stay.

Nice and clean apartment

It was everything great, just one thing that we didn't have Internet and TV during our 3-night stay. It was a very nice apartment so we had a wash machine, microwave and an oven everything new and clean. I would stay again if we go again to Porto.

Great location in city centre near old town

I stayed 3 nights with my two daughters in this centrally located apartment in the middle of the main shopping centre in the central city. Excellent location and quiet at night despite being in the Main Street because cars are not permitted to use it. However you can get a taxi to the front door with your luggage. After 7 nights in a hotel it was great to have a wading machine and small kitchen to cook. Great for small family or students or couples. Also very cheap compared to inner city hotels.

Great for Families

I was a little worried since I didn't see many reviews when I booked. It is a great value apartment in a good part of town for shopping/ restaurants/ access. As a family of 4, it offered us great space and comfort. On the forth floor, it was really quiet with the exception of the Porto seagulls which you can do nothing about (except be amazed that they sound like crying babies in the morning). The site-seeing bus stop was within walking distance and wireless signal was strong in the apartment (although you had to pay). We were comfortable even in the heat wave (~90F) while we were there. The air conditioner was in the master bedroom, but it cooled off most of the apartment. We traveled by car and the parking around the corner worked just fine for us. Definitely great value.

Nice apartment for a family

This is good for a family that wants to stay in the same room. Our family of 5 slept comfortably. The only problem is that the reception desk is two blocks away. There was no sign that told us that, nor was the info listed on the website. We were lucky to find it.

Reasonably priced appartment in centre of Porto

Oporto City Center Apartments was perfect for our lads weekend in Porto. The check-in at the hotel round the corner worked seemlessly. The appartment was on the main shopping street and just a few streets away we found very lively bars and clubs for the evening. The appartment was comfortable, clean, practical but not particularly big. For a groups of friends not planning to spend much time in the flat it was perfect!!

Porta de entrada do edifício danificada.

A porta de entrada do edifício está danificada e muito difícil de abrir e fechar. E isso causou um grande desconforto com o barulho da porta toda vez que alguém saia ou entrava no edifício,pois nossa habitação estava no primeiro andar,mal conseguimos dormir durante o dia e também a noite por causa na Porta.
