Sitting on the top floor of a building in downtown Porto, this apartment is ideal for anybody looking for somewhere special to stay in the city. The show-stopping feature has to be the home's terrace, which has plenty of seating and peaceful rooftop views. However, step into the apartment through the large glass door and you'll find a stylish interior as well. White walls and wooden floors are a classy combination, while the mid-century furnishings and floating staircase are sure to draw a few compliments. Add to this a large mezzanine bedroom with another balcony and you're sure to fall head over heels for this address. When you're ready to head and explore, you'll find plenty of cafes and restaurants in the surrounding neighbourhood, as well as the blue-tiled Chapel of the Souls four minutes' walk away. The centre of the city isn't too far away, either — you can be outside Porto Cathedral in just over a quarter of an hour on foot.
