An ideal base for those looking to make the most out of Porto’s historic sights and nightlife, this centrally located apartment puts you in a prime position to soak up the city’s lively atmosphere. Inside, wood floors, a pared-back contemporary decor and ample natural light create a welcoming scene in the open-plan studio home. Make yourself comfortable on the sectional after a long day of sightseeing, or perch by the French doors’ Juliet balcony with a glass of wine while people-watching from your privileged position. Better yet, make your way up to the communal rooftop terrace at sunset for sweeping views over Porto’s rooftops, before enjoying a meal at your dining table or venturing out to sample the local restaurant scene. Speaking of exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including the ornate Livraria Lello bookstore (a one-minute walk), Igreja do Carmo (a four-minute walk), the Clérigos Tower (a six-minute walk) and Porto Cathedral (a twelve-minute walk).
