Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment is the perfect place to experience all that Porto has to offer. The home itself lacks thoughtful design, and the kitchen is dated, though everything works well. If you’re easily awoken, you might want to bring an eyemask, as the bedroom curtains let in a lot of natural light. The plus, however, is the free on-site parking, which is a rarity in this area. If you’d prefer to stretch your legs, the Igreja do Carmo and the famous Livraria Lello are within walking distance.

Local guide
About Miragaia
Situated to the west of the city centre, and leading down to the Douro river, Miragaia is a jumble of medieval streets. Like Ribeira, it has brightly coloured buildings and sweeping views over the water. But unlike the city’s main riverside hub, Miragaia is tucked away from the usual tourist trails. In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
