  Disgraceful

  16 Sept 2020

  My partner and me booked 5 nights in the property for the end of March this year and paid in full in advance via 'Booking'. Then of course the world changed with the Coronavirus pandemic. Our BA flights from London to Porto were cancelled and both Portugal and London locked down. We contacted the property and asked about how we might resolve this situation, while being sensitive to the difficulties all people in the hospitality industry were suffering.We were given a curt 'No refunds and no vouchers!'We explained that we would like to visit when we were allowed, but again the property gave a flat refusal - 'no vouchers or credit'.I then had to take a firmer approach, to which I was told that they could not give any credit as we were a 'no show'. Ridiculous - my partner cancelled the reservation directly and also via Booking - and as Portugal and London were in official lockdown, and no flights operating - how could we possibly have 'shown' !? If you decide to book with this property make sure and check all their T&Cs - basically no refunds under any circumstances. We were being sensitive and flexible and my partner would have accepted a percentage of what we paid as refund of credit - but the property were totally intransigent.When we look back once the pandemic is finally over and we get back to normal travel - we will look at the people and establishments who showed some understanding and thoughtfulness towards their guests - not selfish and insensitive like these people - they are a disgrace to Porto and their industry.

  Great Location

  11 Mar 2020

  We stayed 5 nights at the Almada and we were happy with our accommodation.The room was on the second floor and looked out to the back. Not a beautiful view but we thought it was probably quieter. The room had a kitchen stocked with a few basics. We did not cook. The bathroom was adequate and the bed was comfy.The location is great. Walking distance from the Metro and you can walk to the train station. There was a grocery store not far either.And of course you are close to the city hall and many, many restaurants.Generally speaking we found Porto very walk-able.We arrived early and upon ringing the bell we were welcomed by a lovely woman who appeared from next door. She (sorry i can't remember her name) held our bags while we ventured out for awhile as our room was not yet ready.They cleaned our room first and we were able to get in early. So terrific.It seemed someone was at reception most mornings and there was a phone number one could call at anytime.Housekeeping was offered daily.

  Lovely place!

  09 Dec 2019

  We stayed for 2 nights only but I loved the place. Yohan was a wonderful host, very friendly and very helpful. Our apartment was 4th floor loft and was lovely and clean and very quiet, had aircon and black out blind....we slept really well. Had everything we needed. Location was great....walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. We really enjoyed our stay here and have recommended it to friends already. We had a great time!

  Stay in porto

  03 Nov 2019

  Apartment was fabulous very clean towels changed every day and if you needed anything you only had to ask Comfortable and modern this apartment was central and easy to find from the metro. We were greeted on arrival and everything was explained to us including the use of a mobile we were able to use during our stay and take out with us this was a godsend enabling us to find our way to and from the sights of Porto with ease using the compass. Yuan and staff very friendly and welcoming . Would recommend.

  Great loft apartment

  23 May 2019

  Loved the warm welcome and our 4 night stay in a modern, spacious loft apartment. The location is excellent for exploring Porto. There is a lovely breakfast cafe/bakery nearby and a great little lunch/snack place just across from the apartments.Would recommend the tourist bus tour just to get an initial feel for the city. The bus stop is just a few minutes walk from the apartments.The apartments do not have a lift but going up the stairs was perfectly manageable.
