Nice bright, but very small room overlooking the street in a nice village setting with lots of cafes. So some street noise. Wifi is rubbish - keeps dropping out & takes forever to reload. Good shower, the usual very firm European bed. Basic decor.
The first room we were lut in was not a room. It was so little thta we could.not store our (cabin) luggage anywhere but on the bed. The bathroom was srinky and also tiny, tiny...you could barely turn around yourself without impacting against the walls, sink, paper holder...There was a tiny little window in lhe top left corner, hardly accessible...so no air. There was no aircon. The floor was sticky. We complained and were immediately (they knew we would complain) put in another, adjacent room. This one was also dirty but it did nit srink. Problem was that...it had no window....so, if you are claustrophobic, avoid at all costs!
Ótimo quarto, confortável, excelente cama, localização muito boa, fica somente a 30 minutos andando de Porto. A Mariana e o pai dela foram muito solícitos em todos os momentos, adoramos tudo.
Me costo el tema de la llegada, no me contactaron despues que le pases el horario de llegada. El lugar impecable, amplio, nuevo y limpio.
La ubicacion no me gusto para volver de noche. Muy alejado del centro.
La habitación es muy bonita, decorada con muy buen gusto, con todos los elementos necesarios, confortable y llena de detalles encantadores.
Su ubicación, a 20 minutos caminando del centro de Oporto es estupenda para no sentirse molesto por la cantidad de turistas que pululan por la ciudad, en realidad es bajar una calle y llegar al Puente de Luis I, donde ya se puede respirar el ambiente de la ribera del río, las bodegas, etc.
Muy recomendable, de hecho, si volvemos próximamente, trataremos de volver a alojarnos aquí.
Mención especial a Mariana, quien nos recibió y nos ayudó muchísimo, dándonos muy buenas indicaciones para conocer Oporto y Gaia.
Muchas gracias!

Decepcionada
Razoável. Apartamento muito pequeno. Fomos recebidos na primeira vez pelo proprietário e sendo um dia de domingo, ele estava muito ocupado no restaurante e até tentou ser cordial, mas estava corrido para ele. E a filha estava na mesa com um grupo e mesmo o pai a chamando, ela não se dispôs a nos atender.
No segundo momento que nós hospedamos no Alojamento fomos recebidos pelo garçom, que foi gentil.
É preferível um hotel com recepção 24h
