  • Reviewer: Alberto

    Comments: La acogida que nos brindó Luis fue intachable, su amabilidad extrema y muy atento ante cualquier necesidad que le planteamos, incluso ante imprevistos. El apartamento muy amplio, bien equipado y céntrico, a mano de todo.

  • Reviewer: Charles

  • Reviewer: Rui

    Comments: Stunning apartment in an incredible building. The place is even better than what the photos show. Very central, safe, and with everything needed to spend a great time in this beautiful city. 5 stars in all!

  • Reviewer: Helena

    Comments: Our stay was perfect! The apartment is very bigk, well equipped, very stylish and quiet. Very comfortable for 6 people, everybody have own private zone :). The location is perfect to go to the city, many shops and market is few steps from the apartment. Luis is very kind and helpful person, his recommendation was very valuable. We loved in this place and wont to go back here once more!!!!

  • Reviewer: Marco

    Comments: Luis is fantastic, the apartment is incredible, very big with a wonderful light. Every single thing and details are cool. The building is super. We were 6 friends and we e joyed the house and the area. Super place!!!!!

  • Reviewer: Janet

    Comments: This beautiful and stylish appartment is very light and spacious with wonderfully retro 50s decor and original features. We were a family of 7, and had lots of space. The kitchen was well equipped and modern. it is in an interesting and fun area with the Bolhao market just down the road, and plenty of local shops (including a supermarket) and restaurants. We were able to walk to everything that we wanted to see in Porto from the appartment. Luis was a very helpful host, and gave us lots of advice about restaurants and other places to go. We would definitely go back to this appartment again.

  • Reviewer: Alba

    Comments: Luis nos atendió muy bien a la llegada y nos recomendó varios lugares de la ciudad. La casa es espectacular, tal y como aparece en las fotos. El único problema que tuvimos es que se salía el agua en las bañeras, y se mojaba mucho el suelo, y el ultimo día el wifi no iba. Por lo demás, todo genial. Merece la pena alojarse en un lugar así.

  • Reviewer: Veronique

    Comments: Cet appartement est très grand, très bien placé ( nous avons tout fait à pieds) et sur la ligne de métro de l'aéroport , ce qui est un atout non négligeable). 4 grandes chambres dont 2 sur la rue plus bruyantes ( en mai, les étudiants fêtent leur diplôme ) , 3 salles de bains, 1 cuisine bien équipée. Luis est un hôte très agréable , qui fait tout pour vous arranger ( arrivée tot, nous avons pu intégrer l'appartement directement ) et qui prend régulièrement de vos nouvelles. Il vous donne aussi des informations utiles. Écoutez bien ses conseils vis à vis de l'ascenseur, d'autres locataires se sont retrouvés coincés dedans ( l'appartement est au 5ème étage). À recommander

  • Reviewer: Daniel

    Comments: Really amazing Apartment in a great location. Restored to original 1930s decor and loads of room in a beautiful building. Luis is a great host, he took us around the apartment and waited up for us as we arrived at 1 am.

  • Reviewer: Eibertje

    Comments: This place is amazing. Toplocation. Beautiful house. Good location. Perfect communication. If you go to Porto, go here!

  • Reviewer: Eva

    Comments: Luís was a great host - and very helpful with recommendations! The place was in a great location, 10/15mins walk to the main restaurants and the river. Very close to the metro so very easy to get to and from the airport and beach. Very spacious rooms and furnished beautifully :)

  • Reviewer: Helen

    Comments: The apartment is absolutely stunning and beautifully decorated in a retro style. It suited myself and 5 friends perfectly as it is spacious, comfortable, quiet, and walking distance from everything we wanted and needed in the centre of Porto. Luis was the perfect host, with great communication plus lots of information about the area and tips about places to eat and drink. I cannot fault Luis or the apartment - very much recommended!

  • Reviewer: Andrea

    Comments: If you're after a slightly more decadent experience with a bigger group of friends then I can fully recommend this location. I wasn't quite prepared for what the building would actually be like so I was a bit amazed to see the gleaming marble hallway and the beautiful, original 40s lift to take us up to the 5th floor. This apartment is very big with spacious communal areas, and is high up enough to make you feel a little dizzy as you peer over one of the many balconies. Make sure to look above as well to see the statue of the horses on the 7th floor. Luis greeted us for check-in and gave us a tour of the apartment as well as some background on the building and the efforts to retain the original features. Luis's communication was great, and he also provided lots of local recommendations for us to try. This apartment is very conveniently located. You will be able to walk almost everywhere you might want to go, and Bolhao Metro station is about a 90 second walk away, with a line (E) that goes directly to the airport. I can fully recommend this as an option if you are after something a bit special.

  • Reviewer: Sean

    Comments: Brilliant Art Deco place, huge apartment, central, close to bars/ restaurants. Really impressed with the tips Luis gave us and that our late arrival on check in wasn't a problem. Next time I am in Porto i will definitely check this place out again

  • Reviewer: Isabel

    Comments: Luis is an amazing host. He's super helpful with any matter and very responsive. The apartment is incredible and actually even more beautiful than in the photos. The location couldn't be better as it is in walking distance to everything. I highly recommend staying here!!

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: Beautiful apartment superb location and a brilliant host. Enough said.

  • Reviewer: Ian

    Comments: The apartment is a compelling blend of history and glamour, with modern conveniences and old-school charm. Luís was the perfect host. Highly recommended.

  • Reviewer: Celia

    Comments: Todo estuvo muy bien

  • Reviewer: Bea

    Comments: La casa es muy amplia y súper bonita

  • Reviewer: Tony

    Comments: Hemos pasado unos días estupendos. Luís nos informó de los restaurantes más próximos a la casa. La localización, la posibilidad de contar con garaje en el mismo edificio (de pago) y la amplitud de las estancias han conseguido hacer una experiencia hermosa teniendo en cuenta que viajábamos con dos personas mayores de ochenta años. Todos hemos disfrutado muchísimo y hemos podido caminar a muchas de las principales atracciones de la ciudad. Seguro que volveremos.

  • Reviewer: Romane

    Comments: Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans ce bel appartement situé au centre de Porto.

  • Reviewer: Marianne

    Comments: Le séjour dans cet appartement a été un bonheur : la beauté des lieux, de la déco, de l'immeuble, la clarté... tout le rend confortable et l'emplacement assez central est vraiment très agréable pour découvrir la ville. Tout à été parfait - l'accueil de Ana, les conseils de Luis, très arrangeant et sympathique. Un endroit parfait à partager en famille ou entre amis pour découvrir Porto - qui est une ville attachante et vraiment séduisante. À recommander sans aucune hésitation. Merci Luis !

  • Reviewer: Patrick

    Comments: Beautiful and spacious flat in a great neighbourhood with great restaurants and punlic transport in a stunning art deco building

  • Reviewer: Laura

    Comments: Dieses Appartment raubt einem den Atem und bietet jedem genau das was er braucht. Morgensonne und Blick auf den Mercado de Bolhoa. Dann 4 wunderschöne Schlafzimmer mit Platz für bis zu 8 Personen. Alle können sich gut zurückziehen und glechzeitig bietet das grosse Wohnzimmer und die moderne Marmor-Küche die ideale Grundlage für eine grosse, wilde Bande. Die Kommunikation mit Luís war grossartig, via (Hidden by Airbnb) haben wir mehr wie Freunde kommuniziert. Die Wohnung ist super gelegen und man fühlt sich definitiv wie "zu Hause"! Danke!

  • Reviewer: Fuensanta

    Comments: El apartamento es muy bonito y espacioso. Muy bien situado. Luis el anfitrión es encantador. Sin duda un sitio muy recomendable.

  • Reviewer: Lucas

    Comments: Luís var en superbra värd och lägenheten låg bra. Vi hade problem med vår flight men Luís var flexibel med incheckning och utcheckning så det löste sig fint. Rekommenderar till alla, besöker antagligen igen.

  • Reviewer: Nathalie

    Comments: Wunderschöne, geräumige Wohnung an zentraler Lage. Sehr empfehlenswert!

  • Reviewer: Marc

    Comments: The appartement was big and had a nice style. Luís was responsive and very polite. Also Anna, who did the checkin was very polite of great help. We had a very pleasant stay. The appartement was great and had everything you need. The location is very central and you can reach a lot of Portos highlights and restaurants in walking distance. Also go checkout BOP Café (hipster bar) which is nearby. It has a cool vinyl-records collection! I would definitely recommend going there. Cool & well located.

  • Reviewer: Ketly

    Comments: Apartamento grande, bem equipado e em excelente localização, próximo a vários pontos turísticos, metrô, restaurantes e supermercado.

  • Reviewer: Nikki

    Comments: Luis and the apartment were great! There is an elevator in the building and it's about a 10 minute walk from the Sao Bento train station. It's in a great central location. Luis was very helpful and responsive!! I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great apartment in Porto!

  • Reviewer: Cristina

    Comments: Súper recomendable! Apartamento estiloso, impecablemente limpio y muy cómodo, para poder estar como en tu propia casa. Volveremos!

  • Reviewer: Vida

    Comments: My entire family loved this place! We were a family of 8, and this apartment gave us plenty of room. The beds were especially warm and cozy, and the overall decor of the apartment was simple and classic. It should also be noted that it is in a very nice, safe building. I️ point this out because many of the Airbnb apartments I’ve stayed at in the past have been very nice inside the apartment itself, but unfortunately the building/lobby/hallway have not always been the nicest. This one had one of the nicest entrances/lobbies, if not the nicest. As for getting around the city, we were able to walk anywhere, but if you prefer to ride, cabs are conveniently parked directly in front of the building on a daily basis. I should also mention that Ana and Luís were very helpful and responsive, especially when we had a little cab fiasco coming from the train station. Thanks Ana and Luís!

  • Reviewer: Kt

    Comments: Apartment is fantastic, very spacious and stylish. It was perfect for 8 adults and two infants and its location is great. Luis was super responsive and provided us with everything we needed. I highly recommend the apartment!

  • Reviewer: Catherine

    Comments: Luis est un hôte très réactif et aimable. L’appartement est tout à fait conforme aux photographies. Bien décoré dans un style que l’on retrouve dans toutes les pièces qui sont chaleureuses malgrè leur sobriété. Bon emplacement pour visiter Porto et faire des courses.

  • Reviewer: New

    Comments: 위치가 굉장히 좋고, 집도 넓고, 화장실도 욕조가 3개가 있는 점은 좋으나, 정확한 주소에 대한 안내가 예약 후에도 나와있지 않습니다. 그리고 욕조에서 물이 세고, 해바라기 샤워기는 모두 고장이여서, 샤워를 하는 게 많이 불편합니다. 그리고 다른 집들에 비해 호스트가 슈퍼호스트임에도 불구하고 세부적인 사항에 대해 신경을 쓰고 있다는 느낌이 별로 안 들어 조금 실망스러웠습니다. 예를 들어, 미리 히터를 가동시켜 놓는다던가, 도착 하기 적어도 3일 전에 먼저 연락하는 등의 배려가 없었습니다.

  • Reviewer: Gonzalo

    Comments: El alojamiento de Luís es excelente. Perfecto para acomodar a 8 personas sin ningún problema y con la facilidad de poder contratar plaza de aparcamiento en el garaje del mismo edificio. Maravillosamente situado, cerca de los principales puntos de atracción turística para visitar Oporto a pie. El barrio cuenta con todas los servicios necesarios para facilitar la estancia (cafeterías, supermercado, mercado...). En definitiva, ha sido un viaje muy agradable, que no nos importaría repetir. Y el alojamiento es más que recomendable para aquellos que quieran disfrutar del encanto de Oporto.

  • Reviewer: Becky

    Comments: The apartment was every bit as stylish as the photos. The building is really amazing and lovely that it has been restored. Great location for anything in Porto and Luis was an excellent host. The travel cot provided for our baby was really appreciated and we got some great tips for local restaurants. The two twin rooms were a bit noisy but that’s to be expected in the city centre and the 2 double rooms were quiet. Fantastic location for airport transfers as it’s literally a 1 minute walk from the metro Thanks for a great stay

  • Reviewer: Alicia

    Comments: Luis es encantador y atento. El piso es precioso, de época y con muebles muy a juego, las zonas comunes (Cocina, Salon, Comedor y recibidores) son muy espaciosos y cómodas. Las 4 habitaciones son dobles, con espacios amplios, camas buenas, sabanas y toallas agradables. Las dos exteriores (2 camas casa una) son un poco ruidosas porque dan a la calle. El piso está muy bien situado, frente al mercado de Bolhao. Fue una estancia inolvidable en una casa preciosa y seguro que volveremos!.

  • Reviewer: Harry

    Comments: Great place. Luis really helped us and let us check in early and check out late which was a boon!

  • Reviewer: Lisa

    Comments: The apartment is very spacious and felt luxurious. It is in a great location with a nice 15min walk downhill to the water. On the doorstep to so many attractions - a perfect spot to base yourself.

  • Reviewer: Alexandra

    Comments: We had a very nice stay in this apartment. We didn't meet Luis, but his colleague Anna, very nice, very helpful. Just as information, there are some construction zork being done, starting around 8.00 in the morning, that's the only "bad" news in this aparmtent. Otherwise, it lookes exactly like on the pictures, and is very well located.

  • Reviewer: Jane

    Comments: Luis was the most gracious host! Check in was very easy—Ana showed us the apartment and oriented us to Porto; she gave great recommendations. Luis assisted some of our group in attending a yoga class. The apartment is gorgeous—beautiful wood floors and architectural features—a curved wooden door in the living area is special—with lots of natural light. There is a spacious feel so that 8 of us felt very comfortable in the 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. Everything was sparkling clean and the beds were comfortable and made up with crisp white sheets. The kitchen was well equipped. Location is perfect—we walked everywhere but the metro and São Bento train station were very close by. The building is secure with a handsome lobby—lots of marble—and an elevator. We were out during most of the daytime hours but visitors who spend time in the back bedrooms of the apartment during the day might be aware of construction going on in other parts of the building. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it for others—we would request to stay in Luis’ apartment should we be fortunate enough to visit Porto again.

  • Reviewer: Madlen

    Comments: Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Porto. Die Unterkunft von Luis hat uns allen sehr gut gefallen. Es war genügend Platz, denn die Wohnung ist sehr groß und verfügt über drei Bäder. In der neuen Küche war alles nötige vorhanden - sogar ein Geschirrspüler :) Wir wurden sehr herzlich begrüßt und auch die Abreise war unkompliziert. Handtücher usw. bekamen wir vor Ort und ein Supermarkt war gleich in der Nähe.

  • Reviewer: Ariadna

    Comments: La condición general de la casa es fantástica. Un piso muy, muy amplio, bien organizado, muy limpio y perfectamente ubicado para moverse andando, en transporte público o en coche ya que hay posibilidad de contratar plaza de garaje en el mismo edificio. Está cerca del centro pero sin problemas de mucho ruido. Locales de todo tipo y supermercados cerca. Luís es muy accesible y se esfuerza para que todo esté en las mejores condiciones posibles.

  • Reviewer: Judy

    Comments: Palácio do Comércio is in a perfect location for visiting Oporto's historical center and Douro River area. Luis is a wonderful host that communicates quickly and makes check in and check out easy. The apartment accommodated our group of 5 perfectly. The furniture and sleeping areas were very clean, cozy and inviting. We had everything we needed for our 5 day Oporto stay and would definitely recommend this apartment. Thank you Luis!

    Comments: Beautiful days in Porto in a perfect and beautiful place! Ana is such a nice host. Thanks ))

  • Reviewer: Luca

    Comments: Super apartment in a marvelous building! Luis is the perfect host! He also bought 3 fans for our rooms since Porto turned to be very hot during our stay and invited us to a super cool and cozy solo tuba concert in a great typical house in the center. This is the right place to be! Highly recommended !!!

  • Reviewer: Wendy

    Comments: My family & I had a wonderful stay at Luís's place. The apartment is very spacious and incredibly centrally located. Would definitely return!

  • Reviewer: Claudio

    Comments: Apartamento muito bem localizado, espaçoso e confortável. Luis e Ana são ótimos e nos ajudaram com dicas e orientações durante nossa estadia. Um ponto de melhoria é o banheiro que tem um problema de escorrer água para fora se utilizar o chuveiro, mas algo bem pontual e sem maiores transtornos.

  • Reviewer: Niall

    Comments: This apartment is amazing in every way. We were three couples, and the design and style of the place is great. Its almost like three apartments in one in terms of privacy. The classic decor is soo cool. Luis was very helpful and quick to respond to questions including facilitating a lost key and late check out. The location is perfect - 5 minutes north of Sao Bento - I would not hesitate to come back - Bravo!!!

  • Reviewer: Kelly

    Comments: This is a beautiful and stylish apartment in a wonderful, central location of Porto. My family of eight adults stayed here for a full week. We never felt crowded. Four good sized bedrooms, three bathrooms and large living and dining areas were perfect. We walked everywhere. We made good use of the kitchen, mostly for breakfasts in the apartment. Also great to have a washing machine and small space with drying rack behind the kitchen. Great value.

  • Reviewer: Felipe

    Comments: O apartamento é incrível e superou as minhas expectativas. Completo, limpo, bem localizado, ideal para grupos maiores. O único problema está no banheiro da suíte, pois há vazamento de água quando toma-se banho. De qualquer forma, o proprietário disse que já estão providenciando o reparo devido, de modo a preservar os aspectos históricos do local.

  • Reviewer: Giuseppina
