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

Is was a very nice apartment and prepared well. Great location! Touch points beforehand were good but there was a miscommunication about check in time on the Expedia site and we had to wait while the apartment was cleaned. There was a group of people hanging around the parking lot right outside, and they seemed possibly homeless. We felt bad, they didn’t do anything to harm, but it was also uncomfortable. Otherwise a great stay.

Location, comfort and efficiency
Highly recomended! Location, location: near all amenities, everything is walking distance, a super affordable Uber ride from Campanha station if you are arriving by train. Great comunication with the property, easy check in, check out, just perfect. The apartment was super clean, good size shower, comfortable beds, we only stayed 3 days but definitely i think this place could be easily a good long stay because of their well equipped kitchen. The only down is, there is no washer-drier so it will be a little complicated to do laundry - i didnt see any around but i may be wrong- The apartment we stayed called the Tram has a lovely patio with nice lights for enjoying a glass of wine with dinner. I would definitely book this option when i visit Porto again, I loved Porto! -actually, i liked more Porto than Lisbon (sorry Lisbon) this city wont disapoint if you like scenery, history and good wines! And this property is a gem!
