Location-wise, this stylish studio knocks it out of the park. It's perched above Rua das Flores, one of downtown Porto's most famous shopping streets. Restaurants, boutiques, and many must-see landmarks are moments away, but for adventures further afield, São Bento metro is just two minutes on foot. The apartment itself is compact but cleverly designed to give each area its own distinct setting, from the sleek kitchen to the cosy sleeping area. And there's no shortage of natural light here, either. The expansive arched windows cover an entire wall – and, as an added bonus, they boast narrow Juliet balconies overlooking the hustle and bustle below.

Home truths
This is a studio apartment. However, a small wall behind the bed makes the sleeping area feel like a separate space.
This apartment is situated on a busy shopping street. It's a great location, but noise is likely.
Although there isn't a desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
The kitchen is compact, but it has everything you need to whip up dinner.
No parking is provided, but a car isn't needed in Porto. You've got all the major sites within walking distance, plus São Bento metro is a few minutes away on foot.
