This apartment is a gem! Close to everything and equipped with everything to make your stay comfortable. The only downside was that the bed wasn’t comfortable and the mattress could stand to be replaced or at least have a mattress topper.

Arco Apartment Cantana was truly a hidden gem. This apartment had everything in the kitchen you could need especially wine glasses! Even a little outside patio to enjoy our Portuguese wine.Located behind the cathedral where most tours depart was ideal. Area very safe,walking distance to restaurants and across the Dom Luis bridge. Communication via WhatsApp quick and even sent a video of where to find Arco once at the cathedral. Met by Leonilde on time and answered questions and sent names of places we had asked about. Definitely better than a sterile hotel chain annd much larger, so happy we found Arco Apratments.Highly recommend if steps are not an issue.

A bit of a walk to get to so would not be ideal for travellers with mobility issues or large pieces of luggage. That being said the apartment is beautiful and in a nice area near the cathedral. Easiest access is to walk down from the cathedral. Good communication and check in! Immaculate apartment, comfy beds, beautiful view.

Loved this apartment! Great location (although it is down lots of steps, so keep this in mind when carrying luggage)close to the Se Porto. We were doing the Portuguese Camino so we appreciated being so close to the starting point. Great communication from the manager who met us on the day with the key and information we needed. Comfy bed, great facilities. Would highly recommend!

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!
