The owner, Beatriz, was a joy to deal with. She helped a ton throughout my stay and the property was very comfortable and quiet. This property is a great pick if you want an area that's close to the downtown area without being in the heart of it. Highly recommend Pause Apartments.

Awesome stay!
The apartment is about a 10 min walk from the main touristy area. There’s an awesome restaurant/cafe down the street called Suribachi that offers tons of vegan options and a vegan bakery called Odete very close by as well. Lidl also happens to be around the block. Beatriz was nothing but helpful and attentive. She helped carry our super heavy luggage up the stairs which she didn’t have to do but insisted and anytime we had any questions, she responded within a few minutes. The apartment had everything we needed and was so cute! Overall highly recommend and would 100% stay here again.

The property was a bit away from the downtown area with the most restaurants and cultural landmarks, but it was easy to walk there. Fairly quiet at night and close to a metro station. Beatriz, who received when we arrived took the time to note things to see/visit and restaurants to eat at on a map.

Lovely property, walkable to local metro, to the centre and big grocery store just around the corner. Property was very clean and well laid out. Excellent customer service from the hosts; they were always quick to answer queries and were very approachable. Definitely recommend.

I truly enjoyed visiting Porto largely due to the stay at Pause apartment made it easy with its amenities and location. There is plenty of space with seating area for you to lounge or to have breakfast and coffee with your family before your adventures in Porto. Marina was very helpful in giving us the overall idea of Porto with where to visit, dining options and more. When I visit Porto will definitely stay at Pause apartments again.

Beatriz was a great host. She was always available to answer all of our questions. The apartment was very nice but lacked a few things in the kitchen like spatulas, wooden cooking spoons, good cutting knives.
This place was quiet and very well located near the metro and bus services!

Gorgeous wee apartment
Perfect place to stay in Porto. Not far from the main metro station, Trinidade, approximately 20 minute walk. We were welcomed by Gil who gave us lots of great advice on how to make the most of stay. Lots of bakeries, restaurants and a Lidl right around the corner. A hidden gem! Definitely will be back!

Porto in October
We stayed five nights at this nice and quiet place. Apartment was clean and spacious. Patio was fun as the days were warm and we ate breakfasts outside. Nearby there are grocery store and bakery. Area was peaceful a bit outside of old town but everything is within reach.

Excellent Customer Service
Lovely clean apartment with a modern feel. All the amenities we needed as a couple on a short city break. Beatriz went above and beyond, giving us recommendations for things to try and places to visit. Was easy to get hold of and nothing to was too much of an ask. Would definitely recommend Pause for a short stay.

Great accommodation, spacious and well equipped EXEPCT the pillows they were horrible (cotton candy would have been better). Upon arrival we were greeted by Beatriz who could not have been more kind and helpful. The location itself was great. Close to a lidl for shopping and several restaurants plus close by was also a Metro station. However, the centre of Porto is not that far and we walked to all the main sights.
The only issue was that some of the other apartment users were not too considered. One person was watching TV at 2 am so loud it sounded as they were sitting in our living room and another had a party with party guest laughing and chating loudly in the hallway. Luckily we had ear plugs with us which allowed to to sleep regardless of the noise.
We had chosen the accommodation as we wanted a kitchen and while it was small. It had all what we needed. Thank you, Pause Apartments. We had a great time with you.
