Signature Apartments Santa Catarina

The wonderful Fernanda met us and took us to the apartment and showed us round. Nothing was too much for her. Very clean apartment with a superb terrace. I had coffee outside most mornings. The building going on around us was no problem at all. Housekeeping was amazing. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay to 11 nights instead of 7.The location was superb for going anywhere. The only thing was the hills! We are relatively fit 60 + years so it wasn't too bad. It would be a struggle if your mobility is not so good. Although you can take trams, funicular or cable car up or down the town. Which is great fun. Loads of lovely cafes/restaurants. Coffee and pastel de natas and port. What's not to like! It is our 2nd visit to Porto. We will be back next year.

Fernanda, our brilliant housekeeper, was not only efficient and responsive but also exceptionally kind and helpful, from carryng our luggage and helping us do laundry to giving us useful tips on local shops etc. The apartment was comfortable, well furnished and everything new and clean. The location was very good and reasonably close to everything we wanted to see. It was quiet (heavy duty windows) despite being on a busy street. We liked having a code system instead of keys.

One of the BEST accommodations I have ever stayed in. A newer building. From initial check-in, throughout the stay, the staff, especially Keila were so attentive and personable, always seeing if they could do any more to make my stay better. Keila, thank you for all you do here! You are simply amazing. I stayed in the penthouse apartment, which was quite spacious for one person, with a terrace that had some of the best views of Porto. Daily housekeeping is also a major bonus. The location can’t be beaten, right on Rua de Santa Catarina only 200m away from the shopping district, and located within 500m of two metro stations. I’ll definitely be staying here again on future trips to Porto.

Very good arrival organisation and the reception staff lady was lovely- they were flexible about ordering some basic food items for our arrival which I appreciated very much, They also have basics like oil and salt as we don't want to have to travel around with this. The location was very quiet, clean and conveniently located. Not amazing views or anything which you don't expect for the price, but I think it was good value for money and gave us the base to explore from.

The location was very convenient and central although the apartment was noisy on the weekdays of our stay due to building works nearby. It was useful to have a washing machine on site, and the laundry was helpfully left open for us one evening to collect our washing. The terrace was very pleasant. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
