Right in the heart of the city, this central apartment is ideally suited for those looking to visit the top sights and cultural attractions. Due to the location, there's potential for noise here. Light sleepers may want to pack earplugs. You're right by Ribeira, with the waterfront's restaurants, bars and cafes just a short walk away. There's limited living space and the kitchen is only suitable for preparing light bites, but it's a good pick for solo travellers or couples. You'll notice the colourful decor that creates a welcoming home, while the exposed stone is a nice touch. Open up the shutters and invite the sounds of Porto into the apartment, as you relax after a busy day of sightseeing.

Home truths
This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
There's limited living space here, especially in the kitchen, which we think is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
There's no desk, though the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
This home is short on wardrobe space, so we'd recommend packing light.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
