Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Whether you're in town on business or visiting the city for leisure, this stylish apartment is small yet perfectly formed and a great pick for solo travellers. This cleverly designed space offers a more private bedroom than your usual studio flat, with sky-high ceilings and a partially dividing wall separating and extending the communal areas. You'll find a modern kitchen and bright dining space for sociable meals, while the azulejo tiles in the hallway keep things traditional. There's a sumptuous bed and a vibrant yellow armchair for a quiet moment's downtime after a day of exploring Porto on foot. When you're ready and raring to hit the streets, we recommend taking the seventeen-minute walk to Liberdade Square, where typical period buildings and Baroque-style architecture display the city's rich history and beautiful culture. End the day with a riverside dinner in the gorgeous Ribeira district, less than a twenty-minute stroll from your front door.

Local guide
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....
