Pedro's flat is tastefully and comfortably furnished. The flat is just perfect. Pedro was very nice, too. He took the time to give us ideas of what to see and do in Porto.
We ad been in the apartment River place n. 1 last year and because we like a lot, came back with the whole family.
The surprise was in the same at the River place n. 2 . The photos don't do it justice - we were a party of six adults and still there was plenty of space.
Look no further - this apartment is incredible. Beautiful, clean and comfortable.... nicely decorated and is very spacious and the views of the river and bridge are breath taking. We were so happy when we arrived with our choice of accommodation! Pedro was so helpful and organised! Location wise, probably the best location in Porto! Everything is nearby. We loved it so much and hope to make it back someday. Stay here, you won't regret it!!!
Absolutely make sure this is your SĂŁo JoĂŁo location
What an absolutely amazing view of the fireworks for SĂŁo JoĂŁo and such an amazing view of the city. We were able to easily walk into Porto every single day and enjoy the beautiful banks that we were on also. We found ourselves consistently looking to see if we can find the property from the other bank and I just felt special when we did that. Incredibly clean, beautiful furniture, the host clearly loves what he does. I would be back here immediately!
Overall we greatly enjoyed our stay at MyRiverPlace N.2. The photos are a very accurate representation and the views of Porto from the windows were just fantastic. We spent time every morning and evening just gazing out the windows and enjoying the view.
Pedro was very responsive and helpful, and there were a lot of nice touches in the apartment. For example, a list of places he recommends you see, recommended restaurants, the closest grocery store, etc. He also provided plenty of toilet paper for the bathrooms, dish soap for the kitchen, dishwasher pods, and other such amenities.
A few minor notes: The bathroom towels were a little small and thin and we would definitely recommend investing in some larger, thicker ones. There was also only one kitchen towel and we would have liked an extra or two for drying dishes (we didn't use the dishwasher much). Finally, if you're tall (I'm 6'2") the master bed is just a tiny bit short and with the foot board it can be tough to fit in the bed.
The above are all minor things though, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we are even back in Porto. Thank you so much Pedro for a lovely stay!
From the time of confirmation of the booking to our being dropped off at the airport at the end of the stay, Pedro was always contactable and ready to assist. The apartment is spacious with the best views of Porto. You can watch the sunset from the lounge or the shared terrace ...it is truly breathtaking. The apartment had everything you may need ...the washing machine was a bonus. Yes, there are steps down to the apartment but the journey down is made better by the evolving view!
We took Pedro up on the suggestion that he could collect us and return us to the airport ...it was painless!
We also took the opportunity to take 2 tours with him. His knowledge is amazing, and the time spent with him was like being with a friend.
We do hope to return- to Porto and to RiverView.
Thank you Pedro.
The apartment was perfect for our stay in Porto. The view was spectacular. Easy walking distance to all attractions. The apartment was clean, spacious, well equipped. We really appreciated the comfortable memory foam beds. Thank you Pedro.
Amazing view from this spacious, comfortable apartment
We enjoyed our stay at this spacious apartment with an incredible view of the city! We appreciated all Pedro's notes about sites and restaurants worth visiting, and found the keyless entry super convenient. It's easy to walk everywhere (if you don't mind a few hills and steps), and a nice quiet retreat after days exploring the main town. We had a great dinner at the restaurant above the apartment, Blini, and a delicious breakfast at the 7G Roasters cafe in the neighborhood just below. Thanks so much for a lovely stay!
Fantastic location with amazing views, not quite as described though.
Apartment is in a fantastic location with wonderful views overlooking the river and Porto town. Short walk down hill to the Dom Luis bridge so not far from the centre. The apartment is down three flights of steps so not suitable for everybody. It is spacious with comfortable beds and a good shower but no air conditioning as described, only a portable unit without the hose so hot air blows out the back, defeating the object. Can be very noisy at times due to apartments next door, above and below, can hear furniture being moved and doors slamming. The outside areas are good for having a drink with fantastic views but are not private. There is a car park nearby costing âŹ56 per week. Pedro was very helpful and check in was easy.
Diese wirklich schöne und gerĂ€umige Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Die Lage ist phĂ€nomenal - der Blick auf Porto ist postkartenmĂ€Ăig! Hinzu kommt, das Pedro sich sehr viel Zeit fĂŒr die BegrĂŒĂung genommen und uns ganz genau erklĂ€rt hat, was wir in Porto so machen können/sollten....,was es wo gibt ... Und er stand uns die ganze Zeit ĂŒber WhatsApp, Telefon oder E-Mail fĂŒr Fragen zur VerfĂŒgung und hat uns geholfen. Also rundherum eine Wohnung, die wir nun weiterempfehlen können.
Wunderbarer Ausblick auf Porto, sehr sauber, sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Vermieter.
Immer wieder gern.

Magical Vacation
We were a group of 6 adult Canadians, going to Porto to walk the Portuguese Camino Way to Santiago de Compostela Spain. Pedro met our group at the airport and delivered us to both rental apartments. After a long flight it was great to meet the man from the River Place apartments, on time with a welcoming smile.The apartments are centrally located on the opposite side of the river from Cais da Ribeira, allowing a magical view of Porto under the shimmering lights. Our five days unfolded with Pedro supplying tours to Fatima, Douro Valley wineries and a great day with a long walk through his city Porto - a great warm up for the next part of our journey. The apartments, food recommendations and highlights of Porto are as described on the website. The one word to describe our our experience with the apartment and Pedro was magical, and way beyond our expectations.
We are planning to do a Camino Coastal walk in 2017 and plan to spend time with Pedro at his River Place apartments.

Wonderful
Just returned from a stay in Porto at Riverplace 2. The apartment is exactly as described and was plenty of room for four of us (2 couples). The kitchen was well stocked and the apartment very clean and comfortable. Pedro was excellent from beginning to end, responding quickly to emails and ensuring that everything went well with our visit. I highly recommend this property.

Good Quality Property, Well Located, Helpful Owner
We spent a very pleasant weekend in Porto staying at River Place 2. The apartment is very well located within easy walking distance of the river and all its diversions. The property was clean, well presented and was as described. The owner is a model of helpfulness. Recommended. We will certainly be returning to Porto and will be rebooking when we do.

The apartment with fantastic view over Douro
We were happy to begin our first time trip in Portugal from amazing city Porto. The apartment was very nice and comfortable, the location and view through the window â spectacular. The owner Pedro picked us up from the airport and recommended to visit famous objects of Porto and places to taste local Portuguese food. We appreciate everything he'd done for us. We recommend this best option of accommodation to everyone who is going to visit Porto.
We stayed at Pedroâs River Place apartment in September 2012. We had a wonderful holiday there and we wouldnât hesitate to recommend Pedro as a host, the River Place as a base and Porto as a holiday destination in which to relax, walk, explore and enjoy the sunshine and the history.
Location â The apartment is located at a relaxed stroll of perhaps 200 metres from the Dom Luis bridge which is central to the operation of the city. The slightly elevated position offers sensational views overlooking the port cellars and the Ribeira. From dawn to dusk the light casts different shadows across the panorama. In the evening the twinkle of city lights merges with the after dusk twilight. Itâs very beautiful to observe.
From the apartment there is easy access to a vast array of port cellars, Dom Luis and the other bridges, Ribeira, Metro, cafes, bars, river bank strolls, parks.
View â Stunning, across terracotta roof tops of port cellars on the banks of the Douro to Ribeira north side with Porto towering above. Feral cat family comically playing out a life of sleeping, resting and relaxing on roof tops opposite.
Facilities â the apartment is fully equipped: Satellite TV, fast Wifi (20Mbps!), sleeps 5 easily, quaintly furnished in local style, no IKEA.
Kitchen - large and fully equipped, electric hob, fridge, micro wave oven
Comfort â very comfy, cool even without AC, ample soft seating, ample dining facilities. Bright, airy atmosphere.
Noise â very little intrusion.
Security â we had no issues at the apartment or anywhere in Porto.
We consider the apartment good value for money.
Owner â very helpful and reliable. Pedro was waiting for us on arrival at the airport, welcomed us to the apartment with a decanter of port and a comprehensive knowledge of the city, and took us back to the airport for our departure flight. A very genial and helpful host.
We hope to return to the apartment and unhesitatingly recommend it.
