This cosy and modern studio apartment situated right in the heart of Porto is a perfect base for a couple visiting this magical city and wanting to make the most out of all the wonders on offer. The space might be rather compact, but this won’t compromise your comfort. The cosy sofa is perfect for enjoying snuggly evenings of wine and movies after a day of dashing about town, and you’ll be able to rustle up delicious suppers in the well-equipped kitchen area. Share them at the dining table, ideal for those romantic dinners for two, and you may also opt for some drinks outdoors in the lovely communal garden. A night of restful sleep is assured by the comfy bed – wake up feeling refreshed and ready for a new day of adventures. You may choose to enjoy breakfast provided by your host or venture out to discover one of the many excellent dining options available in the area. Outside your front door, you’ll find yourself in an ideal spot from which to go sightseeing, with all of the city's landmarks within walking distance. Why not start with a visit to the majestic Porto Cathedral, a ten-minute walk away,... before taking a stroll down the exclusive Rua das Flores.
