All the wonders of Porto await, and a stay at this well-located pad will make it easy for you to explore all that this magical city has in store. Whether you’re travelling with friends or as a small family, this place makes for a comfy base. While space may be on the compact size here, the smart design means that there’s enough room for you not to ever feel cramped. Downstairs, the open-plan living area has a sofa and a small but well-equipped kitchenette, where you’ll be able to rustle up quick and delicious snacks. You can also access the balcony from here – a perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee or a glass of Port in the evening. For a night of restful sleep, choose between the Queen size bed downstairs or for more privacy, the bedroom on a mezzanine level. Outside your apartment, you'll find yourself just a short walk from the historic centre, and you'll also be surrounded by some excellent cafes and restaurants.
