BrightStudioApartment-SaoMiguelApartments

Cute little apartment and convenient location for many of the tourist destinations. The host was very communicative, helpful with both check in and also for assisting with transportation and recommendations!

My wife and I very much enjoyed our two day stay in Porto in August 2023. The only hiccup was that the taxi driver who the property had tasked to pick us up at the train station never arrived to do so, so we just took our own taxi to the property after waiting for the original guy for about 40 minutes. That was not the property's fault, however. Once we did arrive we found Luisa, who runs the property with her sister, Ligia, to be extremely helpful and accommodating. The room was large and beautiful, and the property located very centrally near all things touristy, so it was very easy to walk to everything we wanted to see. The property itself was extremely clean and well kept up. We travel frequently and appreciate it when this level of care is taken of a property and of the guests at the property. We don't say this of all places we've stayed, but we would defintely stay here again. Thank you Ligia and Luisa for providing us with a wonderful stay!

Looking for an adorable private apartment with a fancy hotel feeling? This the place! From our first contact with Luisa to our final goodbyes, we were treated like old friends coming for a visit. She sent a driver to pick us up at the train station, meet us when we arrived, and left a carafe of Port wine and some snacks on the kitchen table. This cosy apartment is full of light and beautifully decorated with everything you need for a comfortable stay: a warm and comfy bed, tiny but functional kitchen, and the BEST shower in all of Portugal. Sao Miquel is located in the historic Ribeiro section of Porto and within walking distance to pretty much everything you'd want to see in this great and artful city. (Remember to bring comfy shoes and embrace the hills. You'd need to walk off all the pastries you'll eat!) When we said our goodbyes, Luisa presented us with a hug and a parting gift, a traditional Azuleja tile matching to outside tile of the apartment building. It was the end to a perfect vacation.

Perfect location, great amenities, friendly host! Highlight of our trip!
