Oporto City View - Santo Ildefonso

A good location with lovely shops and eating places around. Eduardo at reception was so kind and helpful and went above and beyond to help and advise. I was generally happy with the apartment and the bed was comfy. I had everything I needed for 4 nights. A few small niggles though… The terrace area overlooks a horrible dirty courtyard and tables and chair for sitting badly need replaced. Shower needs drain unblocked as tray filled up quickly. Extremely noisy above from others moving around until late at night. It is not a huge deal as silence after midnight until around 7am. The sofa bed desperately needs replaces as it is spoiling look of whole room. Would benefit from pictures on the wall and a refresh of paint but it was not a huge deal. A telly in bedroom area would have been handy as I saw there were existing cables for one. I would in general recommend apartment for a short stay. Be aware no lift and stairs turn and are narrow for those with mobility issues.

Pros-Check in was easy and location was easy to find. Room was clean and good value for the price. Cons- limited privacy is you want sunlight or open windows. ( Neighbours look in on you) View is into other properties.

This app. is very well located to the center of Porto.

Convenient location, close to the metro station and walking distance to Ribeira square.

Its Okei

Black mould on the bathroom wall. It needs renovation but assume they will leave that until the building does not shake from the construction works happening on either side. If you want a late night and get up later in the morning followed by a quiet relaxing brunch forget it.
