Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re in search of a fuss-free stay in central Porto, this apartment delivers a great solution. Outside, you can walk to Bom Sucesso Market in less than five minutes, and you’ll find concert halls, wine bars and cafes all within easy reach. Casa da Música Metro stop is a nine-minute stroll away too. The apartment has a shaded balcony leading off the bedroom, which serves as an ideal spot to relax after a day of exploring. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room, but this is a convenient option for young families and small groups looking for an easy-going city break.
