Haflinger is an open-plan studio in the heart of Batalha, which will make sightseeing incredibly easy – the riverside is only a short walk away, and so is the famous Luís I Bridge. The modest square footage has been carefully furnished, which gives it a genuinely cosy atmosphere, and we quite liked the fact that to finally find a home in Porto where we can watch TV from the bed guilt-free. The kitchenette is a little small, but we think that's a great excuse to go out and explore local flavours.
