Located on Rua Miguel Bombarda, where museums, eateries and museums all vie for your attention, this modern apartment is perfectly set up for creative types looking to explore the city. With the use of a dividing partition, the cleverly designed living space feels open and comfortable while the bedroom is neatly tucked away for a peaceful night's sleep. The sleek kitchen means you can glide seamlessly between the dining area and living room, or better still, head out onto the private balcony for an early-evening aperitivo. We can think of no better place to relax than out here, the patio doors flung open, instantly extending your communal area and inviting the balmy climate inside. When you're not soaking up the calming atmosphere of your plush pad, we recommend you take the ten-minute walk to Livraria Lello – trust us, this famous bookshop is a must-see. Surrounded by art houses, boutiques and charming cafe-bars, the Miragaia district is ideal for those looking to discover Porto's authentic, old-world side while being close to the city centre.

In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
