Very clean and unique property in the centre of Porto close to the university and within walking distance to all major sites. The hosts Elise and Luiz, were very accommodating, offering an excellent breakfast in the downstairs caffe, The building itself is Unesco listed and inside there is an air of a clean modern property retaining all of the original features. Jump on the bus 601/602 to get to the airport for 2.50 Euros door to door.

Loved my stay at the Almond Biscuit! Everything as advertised, perfect location. All 3 nights of my stay it was quite loud outside but that doesn’t bother me. They also do inform you in the listening to be forewarned on weekends. Will 100% return back soon!

The location was very convenient. We were able to walk everywhere. Everything was very clean. Breakfast was delicious. There was a lot of street noise at night. We also thought there were two beds, one being a fold out or Murphy bed. That was not the case. One of us slept on a small sofa.

Wonderful location for walking the city. The apartment looks out on the front of a beautiful church with accompanying sounds from the fountain in the plaza. We got a kick out of watching the many pigeons and seagulls. The hosts include a most fabulous breakfast every day. The accommodations were comfortable and nicely appointed. You will get your exercise because you have to climb three flights of stairs to get to the apartment, but it is a good introduction to the stairs you will find exploring the city.

Wonderful stay!

Great central location for walkability. A very large apartment with A/C! Having the bakery downstairs with included breakfast was also amazing and the portion size was so generous! Only element to keep in mind, it IS centrally located with nearby late night restaurants and bars so especially on weekend nights, it can be noisy till 2am but, even so, it just felt authentic to the city so just bring ear plugs or a sound machine if you're a light sleeper.

Intro to Porto

The only negatives were having to schlep our bags up three flights of stairs and the fact that the code was not properly programed to the door to the apartment requiring several trips up and down those stairs. All else was great.Hosts were gracious and the bakery an added treat! Location was terrific!

Great property in a great location with a great breakfast. Apartment was a bit Spartan: cold when we arrived late at night and no pictures on the walls, but otherwise modern and well equipped. Luis was very helpful and the welcome cookies/ biscuits were much appreciated.

Central location close to everything

The apartment was spotless and well equipped. Great location to walk to all the sites. Only drawbacks were noisy college students very late at night due to university next store but it is a minor blio. Luis & Elisa were easy to communicate with and the breakfast included every morning in their restaurant downstairs was delicious!

Birthday Get Away

We loved the Almond Biscuit apartment. It is right across the street from a beautiful church which was lovely to look at. The description said that there is a bed in the living room,if you are needing a bed for a third person contact the property manager ahead of time to request that one be placed in the until. It was a roll away cot but very comfortable. When we visited the bakery down stairs was closed for remodel which was said but didn't change how lovely the stay was. Getting to the shopping and restaurant areas as well as the waterfront is an easy walk from the apartment, but be prepared for some steep roads. The apartment had everything we needed and is in a perfect location to explore Porto. We would book the apartment again.

Excellent location and view of the historic “twin” churches. The only downside was the third floor of a building with high ceilings. We would strongly recommend a lower floor if you have substantial luggage or are more senior.
