Housed in a traditional 19th-century walk-up, this apartment puts you within easy walking distance of countless Porto attractions, including Livraria Lello, The Church of Saint Ildefonso and the Mercado do Bolhão. While it’s a bit of a climb to reach it on the third floor (and you’ll need to tackle additional stairs up to the mezzanine bedroom once inside), you’ll be rewarded with rooftop views from the private balcony. With a dedicated desk space and two sofa beds in the living area, this central pad offers plenty of flexibility whether you’re visiting for work or leisure.
