Modern and bright, this studio-style apartment offers a comfortable base from which to explore Porto’s many sights, whether you’re in town for business or pleasure. Step into the open-plan living area to be met with wood floors and contemporary boho decor, all bathed in light thanks to the glass doors to the far end of the room. Open these up to step out onto a private balcony – the perfect spot to indulge in your morning coffee and locally bought pastéis de nata, or to sip a glass of Vinho Verde at sunset. Back inside, the dining table is ready to host intimate soirées when you’re not out sampling your neighbourhood’s food scene, while the desk space is on hand should you need to catch up on emails. Factor in the comfortable bedroom and the sleek bathroom and you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. And when it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy reach, including the beautifully tiled Chapel of Souls (a twenty-minute walk), the Mercado do Bolhão (a twenty-two-minute walk), and the Igreja de Santo Ildefonso (a twenty-minute walk).

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....
