BBA Apartments Palácio I - Douro View

Spotless, great location, and quiet

Pros: Super comfy, and just as nice in real life as in pics. Great location, on a quiet street between the university (where I had a conference) and all the action. If you’re like me, and you get agita from crowds, this is a perfect happy medium. The apartment was super nice, completely spotless, and had everything we needed. The manager is very responsive and friendly, which is also nice (and not a given with a managed property). The parking garage is also a huge plus.

Cons: Others have commented that the kitchen isn’t very well equipped, which is true, but it’s not bad! And the other stuff isn’t anything to do with the host/manager, since it’s things like water pressure not being great and the walls being a little thin (but it’s fine, it’s not a party house at all). It’s a fairly new build, so comes with those caveats, but none of them should put you off. I’m not gonna moan about the gym because it’s rare to find a serviced apartment that has one at all! But don’t expect a real gym, it’s just a few machines and some weights. If you need a proper setup, go to a hotel :)

An excellent choice for a visit to Porto.

Pros: Clean, secure, well provided for, spacious, very helpful host, on site parking.

Cons: Bit of a trek to get to centre of town but Uber service very good and cheap.

Pros: Clean, bright apartment with a view of the river and pleasant communal rose garden. Marvellous location just off the main tourist trap in Porto, but around 25 mins walk to most sites. Also, it is a great benefit to have easy access private parking. It was lovely to have the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal on your doorstep, although it was packed for the 16th global scout moot when we were there.

Porto was an easy city to walk around and the apartments were well placed to access a lot.loved the river view, always s

Pros: Fantastic location and any queries we had were promptly addressed by the staff. The facility’s were good but we were a bit surprised the washing machine didn’t have an inbuilt dryer as chose apartment because needed laundry facilities as have been travelling for a few weeks. Luckily we were there for 6 nights so could allow drying on the rack.apparently dryers not common in Portugal. Nearby restaurant Bordoleta was amazing.

Cons: Lack of a dryer

Pros: Location was very quiet, the apartment was quiet in a nice area, easy to access from the motorway with a car. Parking was secure in a garage. Beds were comfy. Very clean

Cons: Kitchen equipment was limited, no lemon squeezer or grater . The kitchen knife was very blunt. No plunger in the cafetiere. A large dark brown table in a small modern apartment seemed out of place. Price didn't include the 10 euros per night parking fee or 2 euros per person per night fee.

Dias perfeitos junto ao Palácio de Cristal.

Pros: apartamento muito bem instalado, confortavel, bem isolado quanto a sons e temperatura, com uma linda vista. Sua localizacao junto ao palacio de cristal é perfeita. Tem ainda o diferencial de contar com uma vaga de carro!

Cons: Tudo foi perfeito para nossa estadia.

Estupenda

Pros: La ubicación es genial, las instalaciones super bien y estuvimos como en nuestra casa, muy comodos. Habia de todo para poder cocinar y estar varios dias. Estamos muy contentos con la estancia, todo estaba muy limpio. Nos pusimos en contacto porque llegabamos pronto en avión y pudimos dejar las maletas un rato antes.

Great value with amazing location

Pros: It is a lovely condo. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location was amazing. We could walk everywhere. Very quaint walk through narrow paths and old buildings

Cons: We like to eat in at night after full day of sightseeing. The apartment lacked bakeware for oven. The bed was but hard and mattress topper provided was too small for bed

Pros: La ubicación excelente, tranquila, a 20 minutos del centro a pie y con varios autobuses a 5 minutos. Muy tranquilo

Cons: Las luces del apartamento, en general eran un poco pobres, sobre todo las del baño

Pros: El apártamento está bastante céntrico , con parking gratuito que para nosotros es fundamental ya que viajamos casi siempre en coche ; todo súper nuevo , limpio , cálido y bien equipado , otra cosa que puntúa positivamente ! Antonio , nuestro anfitrión , ha estado disponible en todo momento . Y le vuelvo a agradecer por aquí porque al día anterior no tuve una buena noche y en el momento de hacer el check-out nos dejó salir un poco más tardes ! Muchas gracias ! Me lo apuntaré si vuelvo a Oporto en algún momento
