HIGHLY recommended !! The property is a 4 story walk-up and we stayed on the top floor with a lovely view over the Douro. The suite was clean, very spacious and well equipped. Veronica, the owner, was nice and quick to respond to our questions. Within a block radius, there are 6 restaurants and a mini-mart like store, and all the sights are within walking distance. If Porto is your destination, VCL's is an excellent place to call home.

The property was centrally located and clean. Outside the property there were drug users shooting up at all times of the day and night, it was scary and less than optimal.

The hotel staff was exceptional… They were in quick and close communication with us before I stay and throughout the stay. The apartment/hotel well, within a 10 minute walk to all the popular points of interest and right next-door to a coffee shop that opens around 8 AM with great food and coffee! If you have a car, getting to the hotel is very tricky with very narrow roads, but we got lucky and found a space right by the entrance. That may not be the case for everyone. It is definitely a city for walking versus using a car. The bathroom was very clean, with toiletries, etc. Our only complaint is the bed was a little hard since it was more of a pullout couch style, and there was some mold on the wall by the window. Otherwise, we thought the hotel was exceptional!
