Flat above bakery
We really enjoyed the area. The flat was great. The building is lovely with a wide staircase. Being on the third floor with high ceilings means a heck of a lot of stairs, especially after going up and down hills. This is, of course, more of an issue when hauling suitcases. However, the flat does make-up for that. The only issue was that we were looking forward to having breakfast at the bakery each day and did not find out until just before we got there. They were kind enough to leave some food though, but it was disappointing.

Gem in a wonderful area
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The view from our windows was amazing. There were so many options for dinners and as an added bonus breakfast was included in our stay. Breakfast was amazing and we enjoyed sitting outside on the Primar patio every morning with our coffee. The actual unit was beautiful with high ceilings and great features. Transit was just outside the front door and the tram stop was outside the back. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Picturesque Porto
The Almond Biscuit apartment was absolutely perfect, comfortable and truly picturesque with the balcony view of the church, the square and the bustling activity all around! The entrance stairs from the bakery to the third floor showcased the beauty of the restored interior; a unique entrance to our experience in Porto staying over the bakery Primar. It is a perfect location for staging walking trips around the city. Luis and Elisa are superb hosts and very attentive to the needs of the guests as they run their busy bakery. Treats, pastries and breakfast were yummy and the basket left at the door on Saturday night, a lovely breakfast picnic for Sunday! Looking forward to returning to Porto and staying here again!!

The view!!
If you are looking for a perfect view, modern yet authentic, spotless and clean accommodation then I would highly recommended this place. Close to the attractions and hustle of the day, yet quiet at night. Absolutely lovely!
