Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Just seconds from Marquês Metro Station and tram and bus routes, this functional Porto home places the city at your fingertips. The apartment is on the second floor with no lift, so you'll be getting mini-workouts here, and the lack of a wardrobe in the bedroom area might be an inconvenience. That said, the fully-equipped kitchen and self-check-in add make life easier. The French doors are ideal if you prefer a fresh breeze to air conditioning, too. In the surrounding area, you'll find local eateries and bars to check out after a day of exploring.


The Plum Promise

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
  • Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

Home truths

    There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the second floor.

    This home is a studio apartment, with no sitting area or sofa. There also isn't a wardrobe.

    If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the small dining table can be used as a temporary laptop-friendly workspace.

    Given the home's central spot across from a plaza and metro station, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
