Just a short stroll from Porto's central attractions, such as Casa da Musica, this modern apartment is conveniently located for taking in the city's sights. There's a covered balcony with space to dine alfresco in the sunshine. Meanwhile, the kitchen bar is the perfect spot to sample local fare paired with a glass of Port wine. While the interior stylings aren't the most inspiring and no basic essentials are supplied, the air conditioning in the bedrooms is a nice touch. It's a practical base for exploring Porto.

Home truths
Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. That said, we think the best way to see the city is on foot.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space in terms of interior design.
The shower pressure here isn't the strongest.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is a short walk away.
