A perfect spot within walking distance of sites and the historic district, and the buses are so easy and close, especially to/from the airport. Lurdes is amazing! She sent us the info to check in the day before, so check your email!

This property is absolutely brilliant, great to have access to a fully equipped kitchen! Lurdes is a great manager, the whole place is immaculate. What I would highlight to potential guests is that currently there isn't a Metro station within the local vicinity, you have a 20 min walk to Casa Musica. There are buses available from Palacio Cristal which is 5 mins walk away. There is a Metro line under construction and a station due to open very close by in the near future. Don't let this put you off staying here though, it's fabulous!

Clean and modern apartment but…
Great concept for holiday apartments and I do love the cleanness, and the location of it. However because it was still “winter” in Portugal (we visited in April ) so they don’t provide cold air through their aircon and the room was BOILING. It’s almost 30 degrees outside during the day and although a fan was provided the room was just too hot for me so my sleep was terrible despite a comfortable bed.

Quite property. However, there was no one to greet us at the property. It was hard to find and we needed to get the code to access the building through what’s app. They are quick to respond.

Lurdes was wonderful and very accommodating of our last minute delay due to train services getting to Porto. The suite was modern, clean and the common space was very nice. The room itself was tiny- tight squeeze for 2 people and luggage. More suitable for one traveller. The wooden bed frame was very uncomfortable and left bruises on the back of our legs from trying to get in and out of bed. The room was very warm and we were unable to adjust the temperature. Made for uncomfortable sleeps. The desk fan just blew around the hot air but was something thankfully, as there was no windows to open. The walk is close to the shopping centre, Crystal Palace Garden and restaurants. Bolt otherwise got us to the beaches about 15mins from the suite. Would recommend for a short stay.

Had a great time staying at Sophia Urban Suites. The location was convenient, close to a small mall and food hall (mercado bom successo, which I'd recommend visiting for lots of various portuguese food vendors in a cute modern space). I enjoy walking through a city vs driving/bussing, so I got my (20-25min) hike daily going down into the city center, but I didnt mind. Ubers were also only about a 15 min ride (costing less than 8 euros!). The property was very clean and super quiet! You share a hallway/chapter with guests either below or above you but I never saw the neighbors (or any other guests the whole duration of my 4 night stay). The best part of Sophia was Lurdes, the property manager! She is the most kind, welcoming, gracious and helpful host and was able to accomodate us for an earlier earrival (by 1 hour) and also recommend so many places for us to visit/try in the city. I'd recommend/stay here again if ever in Porto!

Well worth it
Nice place. Good location and really good prices. I wasn't crazy about not being able to adjust the room temperature as it's set/fixed at a certain temperature. This sat between 24/25° during my week. That was alright but I personally would have liked it a little cooler. I really liked the place though and the location is really good.
