We were welcomed on arrival by the super friendly José Salvador, who even carried our suitcases upstairs. He showed us around the flat and gave us valuable information about Porto. There was also a delicious homemade cake waiting for us. The flat was totally cosy and spotlessly clean. It is strategically located, restaurants, shops, sights, Sao Bento and the other side of the river are all close by. The hosts could be contacted at any time and the contact with them was always very warm and pleasant. We felt very well looked after. Highly recommend this flat for a trip to Porto!

Before you complain afterwards: ;-) - The flat is on the fourth floor without a lift and the central location can also mean noise. (However, neither of these factors bothered us)

Convenience - both location and the range of services provided in advance by the host. We booked the breakfast for our first day and that was very convenient for our toddlers and elderlies. On our second day we booked a babysitter for our toddlers through the link provided, so we were able to visit the port lodges.

The sofa bed in our one-bedroom apartment had a bended surface and was not that comfortable. In the bedroom there is a section of the wall being transparent, meaning we cannot prevent the light coming in from the living room (we put our toddlers in the bedroom and we slept in the living room). In our second, two bedroom apartment (where our parents stayed) there was a small water leakage from the shower but did not cause major problem.

We were greeted by the wonderful Luiz, who gave us the best recommendations for Port tasting tours and other daily excursions. He checked on us through the week, attending to our needs! Last year my son and other family members stayed at this property and that is why we booked with them this year and without a doubt we will be back! The location was ideal for dining, fado, access to waterfront, restaurants and night life. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Loved the windows, great views!

I loved it all!!

This apartment was fantastic!! It was not only beautifully decorated, it was well equipped, in a perfect location, and the communication was the best I have ever seen. And having a balcony was an added bonus. So much detail was put into making our stay comfortable. When your stay comes to an end, you will wish it was your own apartment and you didn’t have to leave Porto. I would recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Porto and would stay definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Everything! Joseph, who met us when we arrived, explained the apartment in detail, gave us the names of 3 particular restaurants (in addition to those in the apartment book, which were excellent and responded immediately with a replacement when we found the hairdryer did not work. He also made up the sofa bed as we needed two beds but had not made this clear when booking. We were able to leave our luggage at the property after checking out until later in the day. And the overwhelming feature of the apartment, taking everything I have said so far for granted, is the location. It could not be better, being within a two minute walk of the main part of the river for cafes and a short walk to all the principal sights of interest.

Being unable to stay a few days more!

Comfortable apartment with everything that we needed! The staff were very communicative from the start, and we appreciated their in-person welcome and recommendations throughout our stay. The location is central and it's easy to walk to the top tourist sites in Porto.

Because the location is central, there was noise from nearby until late on the weekend. I was fine with earplugs, but it could affect sleep if you're a light sleeper like my husband.

Great communication from booking to end of stay with the staff who look after and manage this property Located ideally in centre of Porto for most attractions Very comfortable and well equipped apartment

Checking out at 4am was a bit fiddly as you have to leave key in apartment on table But you need the key to open the downstairs door into the street Fine as there were 2 of us, so I went downstairs and signalled to my wife from street that the downstairs door to street was open so she could then leave apartment key on the table and close apartment door behind her. It’s a faff. Why they don’t have key safes, I don’t know ? I’m not sure what you’d do if you were on your own. But otherwise, everything else was fine and staff very attentive to our needs.

Look no further, for a family this is the best value .Location was awesome - walking distance from all major attractions and the apartment was so tastefully set up - beautiful interiors and comfortable bed. The pictures do justice to the place !!! Tons of great restaurants nearby and most things were walkable The staff are so helpful. They contacted us on WhatsApp and provided great instructions . My husband fell ill while on vacation and they helped us with finding a hospital and also checked on us Note — The breakfast was self service (as in they drop off bread) but everything else has to be prepared by you Overall would highly recommend this place for their service, the location and the beautiful apartment !

Nothing.

Good location, just a few minutes walk to the river. Kitchen got all the stuff we need. Washing machine was not included in the facility list, but you can find a laundry nearby.

There was en elevator inside the building, which was great. But since it was an old style elevator, it means if someone forgot to close the elevator's door, it was unusable. There's some creaking sound when you open the room door.

Ribeira apartments are great choice for everyone who likes to explore Porto, the location is central enough but not niosy and you'll find literally everything you could need during the stay in the apartment. Our stay there was so nice and the communication with Casas do Porto management was soooo smooth and lovely.

I can't think of a single thing that I missed during our stay. And I'm pretty sure that if there would be something missing, Barbara will provide it immediately :-)
