What this fuss-free Porto studio apartment may lack in size more than makes up for in location. All the must-see sights, including the riverfront of Cais da Ribeira, are within walking distance, and Trindade Metro is just five minutes on foot when legs are weary from Porto's hilly streets. While this apartment isn't the most palatial of spaces, it's a practical option for a short stay in the city. Your host can help organise airport transfers for an added fee, and the luggage storage will be handy.

Home truths
Construction work is ongoing in the building. Be prepared to experience some noise disturbance during the day.
Your host owns multiple apartments in this building, so the exact view and furnishings may vary slightly from the photos.
This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance and lift access.
You’ll check into this home with a keypad and code.
Your host asks you to respect quiet hours from 11pm to 7am.
This home is short on hanging wardrobe space, so we'd recommend packing light.
You won't find an oven or hob here. There's also only a mini fridge. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The views from the apartment aren't overly inspiring.
