Great stay.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is spacious, clean, well equipped, has character/history and is in a great location near the cathedral (Se in Portuguese). Would definitely stay here again. Nilde and Gabriel were extremely helpful both before arrival and on arrival. Just be aware that you need to navigate some steps to get to the apartment - but it's worth it!
John, 3-night trip

It is a very unique spot with beautiful views and stairway passages leading to the city, the bridge and the riverfront.

I am a frequent traveler. This is my forth stay in Portugal. This was also one of the best experiences in my many years of travel in Europe. The apartment was unique. The management fantastic and the staff amazing. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
Milo, 16-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Not for anyone who has mobility challenges.

Very convenient location, however, please note that the hotel can only be accessed via stone stairs from the main Porto Cathedral. Therefore, this would not be suitable for elderly or mobility-challenged people. There are also many flights of stairs to get down to the restaurant promenade beside the Douro River. As long as you are reasonably fit, the comfortable.

Arco Apartments - Santana

Incredible apartment that really suited my wife and I. In the heart of the historic centre of Porto and close to many sights and restaurants. Communications were really easy and our host was extremely helpful providing local information on best restaurants, bars and places to visit. Porto is a wonderful destination. We spent 5 nights in the apartment and will definitely return.
Graham, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location for a long weekend

The location is excellent for sight seeing as the property is very near the Don Louis bridge. The access is via a lot of steps. Quite difficult to find but we were met at the Cathedral and shown the way. I would recommend booking the taxi through the owners as it is cheaper than the airport taxis and they know where to drop you. The apartment is small but well designed and equipped. Our one complaint was that the television did not work and no one came to fix it.

Good accommodation well located. Unusual check in procedure, meeting the host at the site and making payment in person. Communication was not great they were trying to WhatsApp message which I don’t use. Overall good stay, very clean and comfortable.
Steven, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great room with great accomodations. Coffee machine, fridge, very generous shower, etc. Service was also great with a welcoming and informative host eager to share about her city. However, must note that apartment is located on stairs, so there was a lot of going up and down which may tire more than desired.

Everyhing was good

Very central location in Porto. Host was super helpfull , organized and polite. You have everything you need in the apartment. Highly recomended place.
Merter, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Once we arrived at the apartments, we were very pleased with the accommodations, freshly decorated, fully stocked kitchen, spacious one bedroom apartment. There is no easy way to get to the apartments with luggage, so be prepared for stairs and/or steep inclines on cobblestone paths. The upside is no car traffic, very close to the Luis Bridge, cathedral of Porto, and the Old Porto waterfront where there are many attractions and food options.
