It’s not often you can stay within walking distance of the city’s main sights, yet enjoy a cooling dip in a swimming pool upon returning to your abode. This charming studio apartment is in a building with a shared swimming pool and sunny terrace garden. Yet it’s just a fifteen-minute walk to the buzzing bars and cafés of Rua da Constituição on the edge of Porto’s downtown. Marques metro station is a five-minute stroll away, so you can access all corners of Porto within minutes. This apartment may be a studio, but the bedroom feels tucked away from the kitchen and living room in its own space. The decor is a charming mix of Southeast Asian influenced dressers, pot plants and wicker accents. The real bonus (apart from the swimming pool)? The living room opens up onto a private balcony with a bistro set for two and a view out over the rooftops.
