Description Bolsa & Stone: Porto

Perched above the heart of the city, this Porto apartment has one of the old city's most enviable addresses – with the Palácio da Bolsa, Ferreira Borges Market, and the winding streets down to Ribeira all within walking distance. Tall arched windows flood the living room with light, and the terrace is the place to be for rooftop panoramas over the historic square below. Portuguese-made furniture gives the place a grounded, local feel, making this more than a city base, but a place that you'll enjoy spending time in.

Home truths:
* This home is spread across two floors, with the living spaces on the upper level. You'll need to climb stairs between.
* There's no lift in the building, so you'll be using the stairs to reach the apartment. If you're travelling with heavy luggage, it's worth packing light.
