Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Perfect for couples or solo travellers looking to explore Porto's historic centre, this studio apartment connects you to some of the most iconic landmarks. Walk thirteen minutes to Livraria Lello, swinging by Bolhão Market to stock up before walking along the river. Though the home is compact, its practicality makes it comfortable for two – just note the sleeping area is in the mezzanine. You may also hear some noise from neighbours and the street, so we suggest bringing earplugs. There's enough space in the kitchenette for cooking small meals at home, but as you're surrounded by cafes and restaurants, we recommend sampling the local fares, instead.

Home truths
Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend using public transport or exploring on foot.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some noise throughout your stay, including sounds from the neighbouring apartments.
The ceiling in the mezzanine sleeping area is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
While this home is in an apartment building, there are no concierge or housekeeping services.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
The windows here aren't well insulated, and since they face the street, privacy is lacking. You may want to pack an extra blanket or two.

About Batalha
Directly south of Bolhão and its famous market, Batalha is an inner-city area that borders on the historic centres of Baixa and Ribeira. Like a lot of Porto’s centre, it was relatively run-down until around fifteen years ago, but has since undergone a cultural revival. There’s a wide range of nearby restaurants to try out, and some famous music and theatre venues. Some parts have a calmer, more residential vibe,...
