Home truths

    There's a communal swimming pool and terrace area to enjoy here, shared with the building's other residents. The pool isn't fenced, so if you're travelling with little ones they'll need to be supervised at all times.

    There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.

    Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

    This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.

    Noise must be kept to a minimum between 10pm and 8am.
