Estúdio vista rio Douro

The property is centrally located to walk to Porto easily to see many sites, restaurants and shops. We had only a couple of recommendations. I'm not sure what it is, but my wife and I both accumilated dirt on our flip flops while walking on the floor. The stairs are also a challenge for older people.Otherwise the owner's are friendly and responsive to our needs. They also provided a small bottle of port wine, cheese and crackers. A very nice surprise and thoughtful. The location is ideal for touring Porto and the surrounding areas.

What a fantastic location! It was easy to get to and close to great restaurants and activities. Hosts were great and helpful! Although it was no issue for us, it would be challenging for those with mobility issues as the steps getting into the apartment are steep. Would love to come back!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay on the Douro River. The location was great and the views of the river and Ribeira area made this property special. The apartment is small, but had everything I needed. The hosts were gracious and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this property for a couple or a solo traveler.

The Studio is ideal for a couple. It is in a good location by the river for river cruises. There are restaurants nearby. It is close to the Dom Luis bridge for exploring Porto on the other side.

The property was centrally located. Easy to access anywhere we wanted to go in Porto. Beautiful view from our window.

Lovely hosts and an excellent location to explore and enjoy Porto. 10/10 would recommend.

I don't like to write negative reviews, especially when the owners were so nice, but this place needs a serious renovation or at the very least, a deep-DEEP cleaning and a new mattress and bed sheets. The bed's mattress was bumpy and extremely uncomfortable. The pillows don't look like pillows anymore. The sheets are overused and scratchy and they smell musty. The same with the towels. There was mold in the kitchen and in the shower. They had a shaggy carpet that should be thrown away. I used my hand sanitizer to go through each light switch and everything else that we would have been touching, they were dirty. I don't think this place has been properly cleaned in a while. The location of the place is absolutely amazing, it is on the Gaia side and the view from the window is beautiful. Everything was within walking distance. It could be a little loud because it's right by the river, but that does not bother us. They have a heating system that was pleasant since at night the temperature went down, we were there in December. The check-in process was easy and the communication with the owners was easy. To get to the apparent, the stairs are very stepped, just something to keep in mind, in case you have mobility issues. Paulo and his wife were very nice.

Maria was really helpful, and replied all the questions fast we asked. The location is really good in front of the river, it was a bit noise during the day because all the tourists and bar on the ground floor. If you enjoy the live music, every night from 19:00 to 23:00 you can see there has a live-band in front of the apartment next to the river. The apartment is not so big, but there has mostly stuffs you will need. It has AC and the kitchen to cook sometimes.

Clean, has everything needed to make for a comfortable stay close to all the attractions. Second floor walk up with air conditioning.

I was lucky to stay in this studio for 9 nights. The location could not be better--the windows face the river. I could enjoy a glass of wine looking out over the river without having to pay the high prices of the riverfront restaurants! The center of Porto is a short walk across the bridge, a supermarket up the hill near the Jardim do Morro metro stop--everything I needed to set myself up for simple dinners at home when I didn't want to go out. The space is generous, well adapted for 2 people. The bed and pull-out sofa are quite comfortable. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, especiallly the washing machine, which enabled me to wash my clothes (bring your own detergent) and dry them on the provided rack. What I enjoyed the most was the wonderful natural light that illuminates the studio in the afternoons. It was such a comfortable space to read and relax that I did all my sightseeing in the mornings so I could enjoy the studio in the afternoons. There is a little bit of street noise, given the location on the riverfront, but never too late in the evening. Paolo was a wonderful host. He assisted me in recovering a lost suitcase from the airlines and was easily available by text message. I can't recommend this studio more highly.
