Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A prime spot in Porto makes this apartment an excellent choice. São Bento Station is a two-minute stroll away, while popular landmarks like Clérigos Tower and the Livraria Lello bookshop are also nearby. Bars, restaurants, boutiques – you name it, you can walk to it, making this the ideal spot for sightseeing. Despite its small size, the split-level layout makes the home seem bigger than it is. It's comfortable, well-equipped, and the design is understated. And while there isn’t an oven or washing machine hare and it can get noisy, we think the central location to be worth the trade-off.

Home truths
You won't find an oven here, but there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. There also isn't a washing machine – although a few launderettes are within walking distance.
Parking isn't provided, and finding a spot can be tricky. We suggest exploring Porto on foot or using the nearby metro.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
