Baumhaus Serviced Living - Art & Design Apartments

Excellent apartments in a very good area with good transport and eating options. Metro about 200 Metres away and a very handy supermarket about the same distance. Mercado Bom Sucesso ten minutes walk away where you have excellent food and drink options at very reasonable prices. Wonderful apartments

We stayed in Nadir which feels like it is below stairs but is probably the most private appartment. The weather was hit and miss but we could still sit out admiring the tree. We felt as if we had our own private place in Porto which was great. Unfortunately after a good start, the advice we received from the manager during our stay was very underwhelming and could have totally spoilt our stay if we hadn’t figured the transport system out for ourselves. We asked for directions down to Ribeira and then Grahams Port House on a day when the weather forecast was for torrential rain. Instead of recommending we get the nearest metro station from Carolina Michaelis we were advised to find a number 500 bus from Praca da Galiza. This was a building site and after asking numerous locals who all said the bus 500 didn’t go there we went to the recommended plan B. Plan B was to catch the Line D yellow metro line from casa musica metro station. Sounds perfect…..except the line D does not go through casa musica. After that we decided to totally ignore anything Carla had told us and thankfully found our way to Vinum at Grahams Port House for our lunch reservation on time 2.5hrs after setting out. We loved our room and the location of Baumhaus once we worked out the public transport links for ourselves. Just don’t listen to Carla.

The staff was welcoming and available at all times. We enjoyed the easy access to everything and the ability to prepare food and snacks as needed. Easy check and check out too.

Very nice apartment! Close to the metro, has supermarket around and has pretty much everything you'd ever need. They also provided us with baby cot and high chair. Stuff is amazing, very kind and helpful. The downsides: the mezzanine level is really hot, I mean it. There is no AC so first few nights were difficult to have a good sleep. The fan provided there was rattling but stuff kindly provided us with another one. It was quieter but still too loud. Eventually they offered us to open the sofa bed on lower floor and that really made difference (but rendered bed on the mezzanine level useless) Lower floor in our room has direct access to the garden and with blinds wide open the room is sunlit! What lovely mornings.
