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.
