Creative types will love the setting of this ultra-modern apartment set along Rua de Miguel Bombarda in the heart of the historic centre. One of the city's most iconic and artist streets, famed for its galleries, interiors stores, and urban street art, this is the place to be. And you won't have far to go when it's time to unearth more of the city's charms. Dive into one of the many authentic bakeries around here for those obligatory pastel de natas and coffee to go, then amble along to the beautiful Livraria Lello bookshop (a ten-minute walk away). Or, just a smidge further, the impressive Câmara Municipal do Porto (a fifteen-minute stroll) and the mighty Porto Cathedral (twenty minutes away on foot). Back at home, the cool, marble floors, contemporary decor, and generous helping of natural daylight (thanks to those large windows), make this pristine apartment a joy to return home to. Grab a glass of something crisp and crash out in the open-plan living space to soak up the views of Porto's rooftops beyond. If you're peckish, there's everything you need to rustle up a light bite to eat in the sleek kitchen area. And when it's time to lay your... head, you'll love the lofty feel of the bedroom perched high above on the mezzanine level.

Local guide
About Miragaia
Situated to the west of the city centre, and leading down to the Douro river, Miragaia is a jumble of medieval streets. Like Ribeira, it has brightly coloured buildings and sweeping views over the water. But unlike the city’s main riverside hub, Miragaia is tucked away from the usual tourist trails. In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
