Our lovely apartment it's not a luxury space but it's very comfortable with a great charming and wonderful stories

Not balcony outside out , but the living-room with 2 windows , itself it's a balcony seeing the boats go up , come down ,see birds marines ...

This can to be your private home base while experiencing the beauty and cultural vibrancy of Porto . You will have a memorable stay in this apartment.

Oporto is famous for its Porto wine . Visit one of Oporto's most traditional establishments, for a tour and tasting. Oporto is so picturesque: with the old wine boats plying the river in front of you, and traditional port lodges behind, the medieval old-town clinging to the opposite bank and the skyline punctured by the Cathedral and numerous churches .

10 minutes the fabulous bookshop Livraria Lello , the totally unique spectacle of an amazing interior architecture . the Harry Potter’s library in Hogwarts. In fact, J.K Rowling lived in Porto teaching English in the early 1990´s .

The UNESCO protected old-town, a veritable tangle of 14th century lanes tumbles to the river and a beautifully restored waterfront. Tiny antiquated shops are everywhere, and, straddling the river itself, are six stunningly intricate bridges, one of which was designed by Gustav Eiffel.

Tiny antiquated shops are everywhere. Straddling the river itself are six stunningly intricate bridges, one of which was designed by Gustav Eiffel. Take the Eiffel designed bridge (D. Luis bridge) across the Douro to Gaia (5 minutes walk) and visit the Port Houses of Ferreira, Sandemans, Croft and Barros amongst others where you can take a guided trip and sample the delights of Portugal's oldest export.

Amazing stay on the river
Olga and Fernando were wonderful hosts and we could not be happier with the apartment, the service, and the welcome. We had them pick us up from the airport which was well worth it and made everything a breeze. The apartment had all the amenities you could need and was right over the river which was gorgeous.

Wonderful apartment in a wonderful location.
The apartment owned by Olga and Fernando was in a great location, and was tidy and comfortable. It was located in the heart of the Ribeira district overlooking the Douro River activity and the wine caves of Vila Nova de Gaia. We had endless opportunity for shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Our hosts were so welcoming and had excellent knowledge of the whole region.

We really enjoyed our stay. Due to the poor quality of our phones from the US working we missed attempts from the host to connect with us the day we arrived. However he made a special trip to the apartment to let us in and show us around. Also was very helpful for additional resources while visiting the Porto area. Location is great to be right next to the river and there are many options for meals. A small grocery store is close by

The location and view are very nice. Overall the unit needs to be updated and thoroughly cleaned. As an example, there is mold on the inside of the sliding shower doors. Also, it generally takes more than one flush to get all the waste out of the toilet.

Awesome place to stay
What an absolutely awesome place to stay. It was so clean and comfortable and had everything to make one’s stay so pleasurable. The location was fantastic and the views were terrific. It overlooks the waterfront and the vibrant activity of markets and buskers - so much fun! It is close to shops, restaurants and great places to have a refreshing drink amongst the lively waterfront activity. The communication with the host was very good - he took the time to meet us and walk us through everything and went all out, leaving a lovely bottle of wine and delicious snacks - what a welcome! There was so much helpful information left for us and the opportunity for many personalized tours which we really appreciated. There were four of us (all adults) and the place was so nice and roomy, giving both privacy and comfort. A great great choice to stay!!! Bravo host.

I totally enjoyed our visit to the Ribera. The apartment is quite nice, clean, with ample room for two people (or more). The views from the windows over looking the river and water front are fabulous! Location is perfect with easy access to either side of the river. Building security is great. Our host, Fernando welcomed us with a full bottle of wine and small appetizers. What a way to start a visit in Porto! I would stay here again!
