Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With a private roof terrace in the heart of Porto, this apartment is a real hidden gem. Enjoy alfresco meals as a group or simply head up for some fresh air after a busy day of exploring. Inside, the minimalist design will help you unwind, and there's a modern kitchen for preparing home-cooked dinners. There's also a supermarket within 300 metres for stocking up, while the nearby Rua de Cedofeita shopping street offers a variety of restaurants, bars and boutiques. Just note – two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed if you're in a group of four. The home is also spread over multiple levels with no lift, so we'd recommend it for those who can easily manage stairs.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two people will be sleeping on a double bed in the living area.
You'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the apartment. The home is also spread over multiple levels with an internal staircase.
There's no washing machine or dryer here.
The bedroom has a very small window, so it lacks natural light.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
