Invicta Flats

The terrace is a lovely feature, and the apartment is clean and reasonably placed for getting around Porto. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk into the center, though the return trip is uphill. I’d recommend it for a weekend. Just be aware that despite the listing saying it sleeps four, the space felt too small for that, with two people needing to use a sofa and a little makeshift bed. I’d expected two bedrooms, but may have misread the Booking.com details. Still, it’s a comfortable place and I’d happily recommend it.

A clean, affordable apartment in a great spot for a short visit. It’s on the second floor and has a little balcony for two. The kitchen is basic and there’s no kettle, though there is a capsule coffee machine. It could use updating, as it hasn’t been renovated in quite a while.

We had a clean, comfortable family room with everything we needed, and the staff made check-in straightforward and helped us get settled. The terraces are really lovely and refreshing, and there’s a barbecue area that’s great for time with friends or family. Several of the accommodations have balconies, too. The location is very central, close to Bolhão Municipal Market and Porto Coliseum. There’s also a bar and free Wi-Fi that was fast and reliable. Highly recommend.

We were four and had to make do with blankets because sheets for the second bed had been forgotten. It worked out fine, but it was a shame. The apartment itself was lovely and had all the comforts, and the terrace looked very nice, though the bad weather meant we couldn’t use it. It’s near the center, but not right in the middle of everything.
