Set in the heart of downtown Porto, this apartment is close to Porto's main squares and landmarks, such as the Chapel of Souls. We love this home's private, sunny terrace here – the perfect spot for breakfast or cocktails in the evening. Inside, there's a well-equipped kitchen if you want to try your hand at creating some Portuguese cuisine, and there's a desk if you need to catch up on some work. This place will appeal to business professionals, couples and families. You may have to toss a coin to see who gets the bedroom that opens onto the terrace, though.
