“Fantastic place to explore Porto”
+the property is centrally located on the Ribeira area near the Duoro river and Luis Bridge . literally on the staircase from the river to the Cathedral- excellent location . place is immaculately clean , the check in was orderly and contactless. the host Sandra has been amazing- very friendly and assisting with anything i needed . perfect for peregrinos - literally up the stairs and a 5 min walk to the Cathedral and the start of the Camino. and a wonderful balcony views of the Ponte Luis bridge and Duoro river . it was an amazing stay!
−not that this was necessarily a negative - but it is a flight of stairs to get to the property if you have luggage- and located close to the metro . during the day it can be noisy but at night it’s actually quieter and not that bad .

+The location of the property is wonderful, right next to the iconic bridge and great walking distance to the Riberia and the central districts. Sandra was a great and very attentive host, the property was clean and perfect for a stay with a busy itinerary. Nice to have a Kitchenette and some small breakfast. Its available as well as coffee and plates/mugs ect. Bottled water was provided in the room, fresh towels half way through our stay and a little bottle of port was a nice touch.

“Lovely accommodation 130 steps above the Douro River.”
+This is one part of an old building on (and reachable only via) the steps that lead up from the river to the hill on which the Cathedral is located. This means it is little over 5 minutes on foot from all the riverside bustle and its bars and restaurants. Similarly, it is only slightly further away (though steeply uphill!) from the cathedral and an entry to a metro station (the two areas are on different forks of the staircase). The interior has been beautifully renovated with gleaming wooden stairs and modern fittings in the bathroom area. In a first for me (and dictated by the layout of the old walls), the toilet was behind the shower. There is a small shared space inside the entry door where coffee or tea can be made and the owner has left out some small snacks. I found the communication with Sandra excellent both before and during my visit and she couldn't have been more helpful in allowing me to store my bags early and retrieve them late. There is a coffee bar only about 20 metres further down the steps.
−These are not complaints, merely things to be aware of. One is that there are more than 120 steps from river level (plus another 15 or so inside the building) so it might not suit the unfit or those with large luggage (I am 76 so it is not necessarily inaccessible to the elderly!). The thick walls meant that I never heard a sound from the other two rooms but the metro runs over a metal bridge literally right above the building. From 1 am to 6 am the trains do not run but light sleepers such as myself would do well to take earplugs for the beginning and end of the night.

+It was a cute little room with everything I needed. A nice glass of port on arrival was appreciated.
−Although the location was very central it is so close to the train and bridge that it was quite noisy. There are also lots of stairs - to get to the property and once inside there are more.

“Lovely room above the city of Porto, lots of amenities and comfy bed”
+The room was lovely, the bed comfortable, and nice amenities in the kitchen one level down. The directions on how to get in were very thorough, with photos attached and arrows so that I could see exactly how everything would work.
−Although the location was beautiful and high over the city, it would have been great if the listing had mentioned that there were 185 steps to climb on a pedestrian street above the main street in order to reach the rooms. I have only one leg (with a prosthetic leg on the other side), and I made it ok while carrying my roller suitcase, however I think that any older person or person with mobility issues would have a hard time reaching the space. I came from the airport by Uber, and the driver was not able to find the address at all(since it was on a pedestrian street nearby), so explaining that information in the listing would also have been useful.
