Would NOT recommend; we found a roach on our second day. There was also terrible drainage in the shower so it kept backing up with water and overflowing. Tried to reach out to the hotel but they are IMPOSSIBLE to reach. Do not answer phones or messages. Terrible customer service.

There are many positives and two negatives. The studio was very clean and spacious: five stars. The most serious negative is that thete was NO number posted to call if you had problems! Suppose you couldn't get in, or if you were in and a pipe burst or a toilet overflowed?! The only other negative is that there were concerts at Casa da Musica two nights until midnight, which kept us awake. We could deal with that, but the anxiety created by no one to contact means we would not stay there again. Too bad, for such a nice place otherwise.

Property was convenient and modern with all you need for a few days. Lots of hairs in the bathroom. Communication was non existent. Staff did mot answer any emails or phone calls. Price does not include tourist tax and there was no way to pay with card or get a receipt, so who knows who got this in the end? Check in details are sent by email 24 hours before check in starts, they then send access codes after 3pm on the day you check in so you have to check your emails so you can get in the property…they do not make this clear.

I booked this apartment for my birthday holiday which turned out to be not as enjoyable as i hoped. On the first day the water stopped running till the next morning which was as you can imagine very inconvenient and extremely stressfull. Spending nearly half the night contacting the property owners with no luck and being on hold with Expedia with no luck the issue did not get sorted till the next morning. So the whole day could not use the taps or the toilet therefore could not wash myself and missed my prayers. The area outside was super noisy and you can hear all the traffic as though you were outside. Unfortunately would not come back. Overall experience was not pleasant.

The property itself was very nice. The pull out bed mattress was quite dirty. As well the outside door did not work, leaving us locked out/in the place for almost a full day before it was fixed. After not getting a response from the property, I contacted Expedia who was able to get ahold of them. It was very unfortunate having the self check in because nobody was there to fix this for quite a while and we lost valuable time to explore the city. It was fixed later that day but the lack of in person contact in the beginning made it very challenging. It was a very nice room, just the unfortunate broken door caused our stay to be a little less enjoyable then what we had hoped.

Apartment itself good, but be aware of location
The apartment itself was clean and fairly comfortable. Be aware of the self service check in, which caused us a few issues as we arrived early and therefore had nowhere to leave our luggage (and when we left Porto as well). The apartment is well located to access Casa De Musica, Parque de Ciudade, Matosinhos and Palacia. However, its quite a way to Gaia and Ribeira and only really doable by Metro or Tram (unless you want to walk a lot!).

This property was an excellent location, in a lovely area near transportation. It was very clean. I did have an issue which was not resolved and I was not happy about. I book apartments when I travel so I can eat some meals at home. When I booked at FMO Apartments I was under the impression I had booked an apartment with a bedroom for two people. As in double bedroom. Much to my horror, I had no apartment just the bedroom. The apartment building has 2 rooms with ensuite on the ground floor at the main entrance. There was a coffee maker, no fridge, no where to sit except your bed, enough storage for 10 ppl and the noisiest door slamming all hours as people come and go to their apartments upstairs. In fairness, other reviews have mentioned this but it is hard to understand the concept till you experience it. The room was a sweat box. The heat was set, no air conditioning, we said it was too hot they told us to turn off the heat (obviously) but no air flow. The windows did open but we were street level, the road was busy with people at night and we did not feel comfortable with open windows. Again in fairness, my booking did state I booked a double room however as I was booking in an apartment building called FMO Apartments it did not remotely occur to me I would be getting just the room. I would have booked a hotel room and at least had some amenities. Moving forward, would I stay there again, YES for the location and only in one of the apartments.

I really liked the apartment, but it was quite cold at night, perhaps the thermostat was not working right. The comforter was nice and warm, the mattress was the best i have ever slept on while traveling, and the apartment is close to metro and shopping. Climbing to the 2nd floor was difficult for me due to a health condition, but the apartment was so nice that i would recommend this place to others.

Nada más entrar al apartamento nos encontramos pelos largos negros de mujer tanto en la habitación como en el cuarto de baño, casi no había papel higiénico, por lo que de la primera impresión fue nefasta. Por el resto no estuvo mal pero ya estábamos con sensación de que no se había limpiado bien la habitación…. Así que en definitiva la experiencia no fue demasiado buena.
