A private balcony with sweeping views sets this Porto apartment apart – a rare retreat tucked away in the middle of the city. Inside, the living room opens directly onto the outside space, where you can dine alfresco with the rooftops of Porto spread before you. Set just beyond the busiest tourist areas, the neighbourhood has a more local feel, yet Porto's highlights remain within easy reach. The Ribeira district, the colourful Douro waterfront, and the iconic Ponte Luís I are all around a twenty-minute walk away.

Home truths
If you're travelling with a baby or toddler, your host can provide a cot, high chair, and baby bath. Make sure to request these in advance of your arrival.
You're in the heart of Porto, so expect the lively sounds of city life – particularly in the evenings.
You'll have access to the on-site courtyard here. It's shared with the building's other residents, though the apartment's terrace is private.
If you're planning to cook often, note that the kitchen has limited prep space, storage, and cooking equipment. We think it's better suited to lighter meals than extensive home cooking.
