Extremely helpful host Elisabeth met us and guided us to our allocated parking spot which is only 100 yards or so away along the Douro riverfront, with its restaurants and port experiences. If you'd rather eat in, the kitchen area is spacious and you can cook with ease, with THAT view on your right shoulder.

The place is well equipped as far as I could tell but we didn't use the kitchen. There's a bit of noise at night due to the same reason but all in all a great place to stay. The view at night is simply breathtaking. Just make sure you close the blinds or there's a street light just outside the window that'll simply blind you if you'll pardon the pun. Having access to off street parking also really sold the place! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1565BFFFA5321483A0492FB3EE02A38238F55ECB1633382806970.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andrei Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### jacob Oct 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great Stay at Duoro Story!

She provided us with a delicious fruit platter and sent us tips on what to do and restaurants to go to. We also received complementary drinks on arrival at their restaurant where we were able to drink our drinks along the river. We had the best time in Porto! Thank you so so much Elizabeth!

Nuestro apartamento contaba con unas vistas espectaculares al río. El apartamento está perfectamente equipado, productos de limpieza, plancha de ropa, utensilios para la cocina, secador de pelo...etc Realizan una limpieza de la habitación y cambio de toallas un día si y otro no. Además está todo nuevo, exactamente igual que en las fotos. Darle las gracias a Elizabeth por su hospitalidad y trato, ha sido muy muy amable con nosotros, nos recibió a la hora que llegamos y fue muy cercana con nosotros, además nos ofreció un mapa de oporto y nos dijo las cosas que podíamos hacer. De verdad merece muchísimo la pena lo que se paga, mi pareja y yo hemos pasado 5 días estupendos en este apartamento y repetiremos seguro si volvemos a Oporto, y 100% lo recomendaremos. Una de las noches cenamos en el restaurante del propietario del apartamento , en la taberniha do manel, cena perfecta y muy buena con vistas al rio. Hay un parking a dos minutos andando del hotel y por 17 euros puedes dejar el coche 24 horas, así que por parking no hay problema. Le doy un 10 a este apartamento y por que no le puedo dar más, no le puedo poner ninguna pega. De nuevo muchas gracias por todo Elizabeth, nos has echo sentir como en casa. :) Miranda y Simo. ##### MOHAMED Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lumarie Nov 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Lumarie Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Olala Cosme Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Cosme-Guesthouse.h4504845.Hotel-Information) > - [PortoBay Teatro](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-PortoBay-Hotel-Teatro.h3437750.Hotel-Information) > - [Charming Apartment in the Historic Center of Porto - High Standing](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Charming-Apartment-In-The-Historic-Center-Of-Porto-High-Standing.h18972576.Hotel-Information) > - [OCA Flores Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-FLORES-BOUTIQUE-HOTEL-SPA.h14757772.Hotel-Information) > - [ABC Hotel Porto - Boavista](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-ABC-Hotel-Porto-Boavista.h29340425.Hotel-Information) > - [Infante Sagres](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Infante-Sagres.h176941.Hotel-Information) > - [Jam Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Mouco.h65705276.Hotel-Information) > - [Olala Fine Arts Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Fine-Arts-Guesthouse.h7650002.Hotel-Information) > - [Fontinha Porto, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Fontinha-Porto-A-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h74447596.Hotel-Information) > - [Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Porto-AS-1829.h10086472.Hotel-Information) > - [Porto Gaia City and Beach by MP](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Porto-Gaia-City-And-Beach-By-MP.h22488763.Hotel-Information) > - [TRYP by Wyndham Porto Centro Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-TRYP-Porto-Centro.h1133709.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa dos Lóios by Shiadu](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Casa-Dos-Loios-By-Shiadu.h36891695.Hotel-Information) > - [Bonfim 234 Townhouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Bonfim-234-Townhouse.h19125242.Hotel-Information) > - [Pestana Palacio do Freixo, Pousada & National Monument - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Pestana-Palacio-Do-Freixo-Pousada-National-Monument.h3081172.Hotel-Information) > - [NH Hotel Porto Jardim](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-NH-Hotel-Porto-Jardim.h35155861.Hotel-Information) > - [GRANDE HOTEL PARIS by STAY HOTELS](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Grande-Hotel-De-Paris.h96353275.Hotel-Information) > - [Memoria Porto FLH Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Memoria-FLH-Hotel.h70124985.Hotel-Information) > - [GA Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-GA-Palace.h92807493.Hotel-Information) > - [Apartment Boavista Roundabout by SweetPorto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Apartment-Boavista-Roundabout-By-SweetPorto.h26751770.Hotel-Information) > - [BessaHotel Baixa](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-BessHotel-Baixa.h41334099.Hotel-Information) > - [RS Porto Campanha](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Rs-Porto-Campanha.h14910582.Hotel-Information) > - [Chic & Basic Gravity ](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Chic-Basic-Gravity.h48630041.Hotel-Information) > - [Trindade Premium Apartments Porto Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-LA-MAISON-TITO-FONTES.h42107565.Hotel-Information) > - [Porto Apartments - Bombarda 451 Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Porto-Downtown-Lovers-Suites-Bombarda-451.h26988937.Hotel-Information) > - [Pur Oporto Boutique Hotel by Actahotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Puro-Porto-Boutique-Hotel.h48735203.Hotel-Information) > - [Pause Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Pause-Apartments.h33325083.Hotel-Information) > - [ORM- Saraiva de Carvalho apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Guindais-Muralha-Santa-Clara-And-Se.h38408140.Hotel-Information) > - [Sophia Oporto Urban Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Sophia-Oporto-Urban-Suites.h90934593.Hotel-Information)
