Rooms are simple but nice. Owner is very helpful. I've read other reviews about street noise and while you can hear it in the rooms it didn't bother me (and I'm a light sleeper)- at least that is until the last night (FC Porto won the national championship, people were honking their horns until 2 am- but I'm not sure anywhere in Ribeira would have been any quieter then!) I didn't eat breakfast but others in our group did and said it was very good, however since breakfast costs €10 I'd rather go to a local bakery and get 2 pastries for about €2. My only complaint is the shower/bathroom- if the lights in the bedroom aren't on, the bathroom is pretty dark, also the temperature on our shower (room 4) was difficult. It would often change back and forth between really hot and cold, and the 2nd person to shower often didn't have hot water. The other half of our party staying in room 1 and didn't have any problems.
The location is great, so many restaurants and wine bars in the area! No elevator but I didn't mind walking up the stairs. Request a 1st or 2nd floor room if you'd prefer to not have to do too many flights. I'd definitely recommend...
Read moreWe chose this place because it is a small apartment in the heart of Porto's old town so it's perfect for a small family. The apartment has everything that you need and that you don't need (TV 😜). The breakfast area/ cafe is very modern and the hosts are very helpful and kind.|There is a but unfortunately: because of the area being so central you get loads of traffic during the day,with ambulance, police sirens,people papping the car horns etc. But the main problem is at night when you are in bed: you get people screaming in the narrow streets etc but especially loads of idiots driving very fast, revving their cars or motorcycles,etc. It's the downside of this area and I can guarantee that you won't get much sleep.(and I was there in February)|@the owner my ribeira:I would escalate this to the council and do a petition together with the other local businesses to fit speed cameras inside and outside the tunnel and anti social behaviour noise monitors so that they can be fined for this.|Apart from this the place is spot on and I will definitely be back.|Thank you very much,you have...
Read moreCenteally located unique accommodations close to everything. #2 is the size of a good studio and has just about everything you need. It does lack a closet area so I had to improvise using a shelf and two chairs for my clothes. I made do. The breakfast was jist right and fresh. The coffee was delicious. The staff was helpful and friendly. There was easy access with a key code. A few things to note besides the closet. There are no blackout shades. There are shutters and they do let in a little light. Also, the laundry is not on sight, however, the laundrymat is near. About 4 blocks. As others have mentioned the noise can be an issue. It quiets down at night but intermittently there and it is at the mouth of a tunnel so at times amplifies! No napsduring the day, unless noise does not bother you. That is an unfortunate downside because it really is a...
