Douro Riverside Apartments

The views of Porto from Duoro Riverside Apartments are phenomonal.

Checkin problems - the parking card wasn't in the box. Could not reach the hosts via phone. The dirty laundry bags (waiting for pickup) were piled in the stairway, making it even more difficult to walk up the stairs. The stairs are dangerous (varying depths). Repairs are needed in the 3rd floor apartment (the entry door sticks making it difficult to push it open).

The location, ease of access, clean and comfert, and view from the room

All was great

The location was perfect & view from the kitchen was exceptional 👌

The stairs were very steep. We were on the first floor so it wasn't too bad.

Extraordinary view of old Porto but…

…the furnishing is very poorly maintained. Mold in shower, the sink is not draining, doors won’t close or open, kitchen furnishing very poor, no spices and oil available, no wine opener, chairs are shaky, the cheapest liquid soap in shower etc. As many other guests mentioned, staircase is very steep and narrow, moreover there were three big bags left on stairs during all our stage, thus crossing with our luggage was like mountain climbing (after we successfully passed a strange test with three different access codes for the (i) entrance door, (ii) parking card locker and (iii) door key locker). When I requested the invoice the host stopped replying and it took 5 days and remainders through booking.com to get it. To summarize, it looks like the owner just collects money but maintenance and investment to the property is zero. You pay just for the view although the price is like 4-stars hotel.
