Douro, Ribeira and D Luiz Bridge

This was the perfect place to explore Porto. Close to many walkable attractions. Highly recommend.

The apartment owner was wonderful to work with and very helpful with any question we had and with recommendations for resturants and local activities. We had a little confusion with the initial key exchange, but otherwise the stay was great. The location is ideal. Just off the waterfront near the walking bridge and the view from the apartment was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay and would love to return to the area some day.

Nous avons passé un super séjour, l'endroit est idéalement situé. L'appartement est très très beau. La vue est magnifique, et nous sommes proche de tout. Les propriétaires sont très serviable et répondent à tous vos questions. On reviendra, et je vous recommande vraiment cette endroit. Catherine et sa famille.

This would be a 1 star review if not for the view. It was also clean and in a pretty good location. The unit is otherwise very uncomfortable, particularly for a full week. First off, the included heating consists of two portable radiators. One in the main room, and a smaller one in the bedroom. These by no means heat the place in any meaningful way. We were very cold most of the time that we were not hunkered down in bed. There are no rugs anywhere, which simply added to the cold. The bathroom in particular was freezing. Thank goodness for the hair dryer, which we basically left running for a half hour at a time to heat up the bathroom before showering. The bathroom also has no ventilation. Getting bath towels dry consisted of draping them over the radiator heaters. They were very wet even after 24 hours otherwise. There is one small bathmat that was always wet. The refrigerator is what you would expect in a college dorm room, not an apartment with a "fully equipped kitchen". There was also minimal silverware, no paper towels, no dish towels, (or pot holders if you really tried to cook) and the kitchen is so narrow you can't have more than one person in there at a time. I would suggest a new table that flips down from the wall when not in use. The entire apartment has 5 electrical outlets, including just 1 in the kitchen. If you want to make coffee and toast, you need to take turns with the 1 outlet provided (or make toast in the bathroom....not ideal). One of the electrical outlets in the inner bedroom has the cover plate held in place by the heater plug. When my son unplugged the heater to plug in his phone the cover of the junction box fell off, exposing hot bare wiring. Not safe! The floor near the stairs slants downwards towards the stairs. It was not safe, particularly at night. The lights in the main room have 4000k LED bulbs. These are terrible for inside use, so we ended up mostly just burning a candle (extra heat!). The mattresses were all very hard and uncomfortable. The linen covers of the duvets are also not comfortable. The light coming into the inner bedroom from the skylight and window to the stairs is not "charming" in any way. My last comment is that my wife and son were counting down the days until we could move on to the next place. That is not how your family should feel about a VRBO experience. This place needs a lot of work, but the view is great!
