Upon seeing the minimalist kitchen, wooden floors and white walls upon entrance, you could be forgiven for thinking that this home was smart, if lacking in a little personality. However, closer inspection reveals that's far from the case. Out in the two-tiered terrace bordered by a large stone wall — itself a lovely spot to enjoy Porto's magnificent climate — there's a mural taking up one wall that was painted by one of the city's most prolific graffiti artists, Costah. Back inside, there's another collection of more amateur artwork pinned to the wall in the living space, as well as a fetching floral feature wall. All of these personal touches work together to create an apartment that feels both professional and charming. If that's not enough to convince you to stay, the local neighbourhood of Cedofeita is sure to sway you. To the south lie some of the city's most impressive churches, including the Cathedral only fifteen minutes' walk away, while there are plenty of art galleries to wander around in the area around Rua Miguel Bombarda, only eight minutes away on foot.
