Awful

I more-travel, I was provided no instructions on how to get in. When I arrived, no instructions, no note, no keys—nothing. I tried to contact the host—no response. I had to find a hotel. I likely will not use VRBO—certainly not a property managed by Getaway—again. Really awful.

Very good location and pleasant stay!

The property has all what you need. It was very clean which is big to me. They provided essential amenities, and very comfortable overall. Excellent location, short walk to the Douro river, Ribeira area. Excellent communication.

Great little hideaway on lively area

Great little spot in a fantastic location. 5 minute walk to stores, 10 to downtown strip. You’ll certainly get your steps in ;) I would absolutely go back. Management was attentive and friendly, everything was clean and easy to use. Felt like home

Clean accommodation.Excellent value for money. Location is close to cafes and bars.

We were happy with the accommodation and with the added touch of the bikes to use. It does say check in at 4pm however when we turned up at the office to collect the keys ( which took a while to get to due to traffic), they said the property would not be ready until 6pm. This is far too late. Check out is normally 11am but they said that the cleaners were turning up at 10am.
