The property was centrally located and clean. Outside the property there were drug users shooting up at all times of the day and night, it was scary and less than optimal.

The location of this property was in a great location. 5 minutes from the main Porto bridge and the Cathedral and central to transport. However, this is a very authentic location where we had homeless people right outside our apartment window with some occasionally sitting the step outside the apartment. We arrived with the apartment not being very obvious and the first thing we saw were the homeless people appearing to be taking drugs. For 3 girls together we were ok but not suitable for someone alone. The apartment itself was ok, not what the pictures showed, we didn't have a balcony and the shutters did not open enough for us to sit and look out the windows. It could also be noisy at night due to the homeless people outside. However, we received a lovely custard tart on our arrival and the company were really good at answering questions via whatapp. We were flying late on our last day and we could leave our suitcases in a sister apartment block around 10 minutes away. This location looked much nicer so it was a shame we were not staying there. Overall we were a little disappointed and felt a little misled by the pictures on the website but the apartment was basic and had what we needed.

We stayed in Bridges apartment. It’s view was the homeless in the area. My traveling companions were rattled by a call out of a homeless woman on our arrival telling tourists to go away. One night there was some early morning yelling by the local homeless that woke us up. Inside the apartment was clean and felt very safe. Pillow cases on the extra pillows would have been nice and maybe a couple more towels especially for the kitchen. It is small but really you aren’t in it long. It was a short walk to most restaurants. Beds were comfortable. Approx 12 min walk all downhill to the Duoro River. It’s all downhill so remember it’s all up hill on the way back. This is great for younger people and couples. I don’t know if I would recommend for young families with children. We were three older women travelling without our significant others.

Parking was limited and difficult. There was a group of homeless people hanging out front. I know that the owners have no control over that but if I was a single woman I would feel uncomfortable. The unit was very nice and clean and the bed was comfortable
