Situated on the buzzing Rua de Santa Catarina, this Porto flat is in a prime spot in the middle of everything, just a few meters from the famous Bolhão Market and Majestic Café. From here, most of Porto's sights are within walking distance, but there's also a metro station just a quick stroll away. With a mix of high-street retailers, local shops, bakeries, restaurants and cafes all on your doorstep, there's plenty of options to lure you out – but if you'd prefer a chilled night at home, this flat delivers, too. It's bright and minimal, with a sleek design, air conditioning and a calm colour palette that only adds to the relaxing vibe. Out on the small balcony, you can sip a glass of Vinho Verde and soak up the views over bustling Santa Catarina. The kitchen is a little basic, but it has everything you need to rustle up a light lunch or quick bite to eat. After a busy day exploring, sink into the cosy bed and drift off in complete comfort.

Home truths
There's an elevator but you'll have to climb about ten steps to reach it
A cot and high chair can be provided for €25/week
There's no oven in the kitchen
This home is on a main street so expect to hear the hustle and bustle – noise is minimal after 11pm, but light sleepers may want to pack earplugs
This is a self-catering home – the hosts provide a small number of complementary items to start you off (like toiletries and toilet paper), but you'll need to supply your own coffee and other provisions
There's paid parking off-premises in Garagem Cardinal, but we don't think a car is necessary here – everything is either within walking distance or a quick metro ride away

About Bonfim
Bonfim is a neighbourhood where you can really blend in and live like a local. It’s not at all overrun by tourists. It was formerly an industrial area, and in parts the architecture still bears traces of this. There’s a real mix of local businesses as well as trendy cafes and restaurants — a good fit for families or groups after a low-key base not too far from the centre....
