Formosa 168 by Guestify

What guests think

At InSitu Formosa 168, travellers praise the central, walkable location, clean well-equipped apartments, and friendly, accommodating staff, while noting trade-offs like no elevator and some noise or comfort quirks depending on unit and position.

Apartments are generally comfortable and well laid out, with some noting small bedrooms, humidity or temperature imbalances, occasional street or neighbor noise, and that rear, garden-facing units tend to be quieter. Cleanliness receives strong marks, though housekeeping is scheduled about every four days rather than daily. Overall, expect a self-catering base with helpful support and some stairs.

Everything was great, centrally located, clean and helpful friendly staff and a very nice roomy apartment. It would have been perfect if the front door to the building locked. We reported it twice and were told it was being fixed but it wasn’t during our 4 days. Apart from that I would definitely recommend for any stay in Porto.

Kitchen well supplied. Office staff very helpful. There wasnt a separate bedroom, rather half wall separation. We liked the garden area. Hardly any storage for clothes etc. Needs some wall hooks, shelves & better sized closet for guests staying a few days. Very centrally located area for restaurants, groceries etc.

Excellent studio apartment, 1 block off the main pedestrian shopping street, and close to many sights. lots of restaurants shopping nearby, including supermarkets and wine stores. Speak with the agency several days at least before your arrival date to secure a parking space a few doors down the street. You will pass it on your right when you arrive up the street, you might be able to temporarily to park illegally in front of a delivery door across the street. Excellent service and hosts. My only concern could be the lack of an elevator for some people.Highly recommended!

Ubicación perfecta, con un parking 24h al lado por 12€/dia. El apartamento tenía de todo, y estaba completamente reformado. La cama comodísima y silencio absoluto para dormir. A pesar de que nuestro apartamento era un primer piso hacia la calle estaba perfectamente aislado. La entrada muy rápida y fácil. Además, tienen agua y café como detalle. Por poner un punto de mejora a eso, que obviamente no tendrían por qué hacerlo… ya sería fantástico que tuviese un par de shots de leche (por pedir). Así que el resumen es que ha sido una estancia fantástica!!

The room was nice overall. Building does not have an elevator which I'm not sure if that is mentioned. Had problems with the heater, upstairs was always warmer than downstairs. Building shakes on occasion, not sure if that is from the construction sites around the city using dynamite underground or from the buses or trucks driving by. Asked how often someone comes in to pickup trash and replace towels upon check-in and was told every 4 days, we were there 6 nights and no one came in to get our trash or replace the towels, very disappointed and mainly for the lower score. Office did assist with us purchasing a hop on hop off tour and provided a map of the city upon check-in but had to ask for it.

Staff very helpful and had great info on Porto on our arrival. The only problem was we had booked and had confirmed a specific apartment through Hotels.com but we were moved to a different apartment at the front of the building so could be a bit noisy. Great location for transportation, shopping and restaurants. A short walk from Bolhao metro station. Overall a very nice stay.

Pros Nice location Clean Our unit is facing the opposite side of the street so it was quite quiet The host was very responsive and helpful. Cons Upstair bathroom is short and small 2 bedrooms are small. Could barely open carry-on luggage on the floor. The stairs to the bedrooms are a bit challenging. 3 storeys of stairs to climb from the ground floor. It should be 4.5 stars but no such option available

O quarto é confortável, boa cozinha, bom ar condicionado. A tv é pequena e antiga. O banheiro poderia ter uma ducha melhor, a temperatura da água oscila e se não for rápido a água quente acaba. Mas o maior problema que tivemos foi com a comunicação no check in. Ficou combinado que teríamos alguém para nos receber, mas não tinha. Tentamos nos comunicar pelo WhatsApp, mas não houve resposta, apenas no dia seguinte nos perguntaram se tínhamos conseguido entrar no alojamento. Graças a Deus tínhamos conseguido. Apesar dos pequenos problemas, o alojamento é ótimo, muito bem localizado, perto de alguns pontos turísticos, restaurantes e metrô. Tem uma cozinha bem equipada, com fogão de indução, sanduicheira, microondas, geladeira com congelador, pratos, copos e talheres. No geral gostamos da nossa estadia.

Cannot say enough good things about this property in Porto. Anabela was incredibly accommodating and the check in process was easy. There are a few different ways to get to the location (uber, taxi), but we got off at the nearby Bolhão metro station after taking the train in from Lisbon. It's a bit of a hike up the stairs with luggage so be ready but so is every accommodation in Portugal. The place was lovely with nice touches like body wash available, wifi, and good air conditioning. Sleep was easy and the area is super accessible and walkable. Would recommend to anyone.

This beautifully appointed apartment was the perfect place to stay in Porto. Upon arrival, we were a little nervous because the street looked a little sketchy at night. We parked in a parking garage and found the check in office. The woman who checked us in was fantastic. She gave us a map and a lot of good tips. The apartment itself was great and had everything we needed for a 3 day stay. Once we went out, we realized that we were within walking distance of everything we needed. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it.
