Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This city bolthole is in the centre of downtown Porto, with the main attractions within easy walking distance. Head to the Douro River for a day cruise or to sample port in the famous wine warehouses of the Ribeira neighbourhood. If you’re not using the double sofa bed, the open living area offers plenty of space to spread out. The bonus is the enclosed balcony, furnished with a couple of lounge chairs and a dining table, and an additional slender balcony just off the bedroom.

Home truths

    At capacity, two guests will be on the sofa bed in the living room.

    While there is outside space, it is enclosed by metal grating so doesn't have much of a view.

    Well-behaved dogs are welcome to accompany you during your stay.

    There's a nightclub nearby, so some late-night noise may drift into the apartment.

    There is no private parking with this home, but you're in the centre of Porto and having a car is not necessary.
