We had a lovely stay at Miguel’s apartment over the Easter weekend. The apartment is right on the edge of the Ribeira district, which is the main area in the old town for restaurants. Looking on to the iconic Luis I bridge it only takes 5 minutes walking down to the restaurants, as well as across the river to the port cellars. The apartment itself is on the 4th floor and has lovely high ceilings and wooden floors. The 2 main bedrooms are at the front and have small balconies looking out to the river – not wide enough to sit on. There is an outside patio out the back, which you can access through the living/kitchen area.

Although the apartment was lovely we didn't spend too much time there as only had 4 days in Porto so spent most of the time out and about, eating & drinking and sightseeing. It was in the perfect location to come and go as we pleased, such as going home in the evening to quickly put on some extra clothing layers when the temperature dropped. The only thing I feel I should warn you of as there is a cockerel in the neighboring property that started crowing very early every morning, from around 5am and continued every minute or so for a good few hours – this certainly added to the experience and meant that sleep-ins weren't easy but that was ok as we were keen to get up and out for breakfast each morning – if you are keen on sleep-ins this might put you off though!

I would recommend Miguel’s apartment for your stay in Porto!
