If you want a real Porto experience, then this place is for you. It was the cutest little apartment, bohemian decor, with a small, well equipped kitchen, a washer!, and a fabulous view over the waterfront plaza. We had a balcony view, where we drank our wine and people watched. No AC, but the river breeze and ceiling fan kept everything nice. It’s located in the heart of the Riberia, and close to shops and restaurants. It can get a bit noisy from the crowds (and morning seagulls!), but you can close the windows to block out the sound mostly. Would absolutely stay here again. Cristina and Willy were very nice and helpful, quickly responding to emails. Thanks for a great stay!
We stayed for three nights in the apartment on the second floor with a balcony facing the side street. We couldn't fault the apartment and we absolutely loved the location - the best part of Porto. Several nice restaurants in Rua Mercadores and lots of bars and cafes so close. Up hill walk for sightseeing or get the Funicular and walk back down. I would definately recommend staying at PortoSense.
We have recently spent 4 nights here and it was fantastic. The apartment is amazing, clean, fabulous view, fully self contained and we would absolutely stay here again. It was wonderful to arrive to such an amazing apartment after travelling for 29 hours to get there!! Would recommend to anyone and we will be back. Thank you for being such fantastic hosts.

First of all, I would like to thank you Owners and Ms. Christina for contacting me via email. She is perfect and is kind and fast reply email.

Many options for dining, markets and souvenir shops. Walking around the city, easy get taxis, safe city than the city of Madrid. Also they have provide transfer from the Airport and train station will be charge. Our apartment looks completely refurbished. No deposit at check-in. It was a very relaxing and feeling like at home, comfortable, no noisy, only many seagulls, really enjoyed our stay here. It has two floors. Full board kitchen wares, especially the kettle is very clean. It comes with a washing machine, but unfortunately we don't have time to use it. It also has some books and a Portuguese guide. It's cool, we need to switch on the heater. By the way before check in, A very helpful and kind lady, Miss Christina, will send you email and guide you to unlock the safety pin to the main door and collect the access key card from their locker and proceed to our door step with pin number. When we open the door with access key card. Woo...

Unfortunately, I stayed too short in PortoSence Ribeira. Porto is a very beautiful city. The city tax will automatically deduct from my credit card during I stayed in.…
We absolutely love Porto Sense, and would not stay anywhere else. We have stayed at Porto Sense for 5 years now. The location is amazing. Restaurants, shopping, the bridge, the venicular are sll seconds away. The view from the São João room is fantastic. Sit on the balcony in the morning wih a cup of coffee and watch the Ribeira wake up, or a glass of wine in the evening and enjoy the scenes below. Cristina and Felipe are amazing hosts, and Pedro is so helpful. Porto Sense is a sophisticated, comfortable, beautiful place to stay.
