This apartment is right smack in downtown Porto, extremely handy to the old town which is world heritage, the 18th/19th century area of Aliados and with metro and train less than 5 minutes away. A small supermarket is only 2 minutes walk. The apartment is simply and beautifully decorated and I felt instantly at home, not least through Tomás and his warm welcome and thorough information about the city.

As an old 18th century Porto building the staircase splits the apartment in 2 and bathing the whole place with natural light from the domed skylight. A really lovely place to stay. It is also well equipped with dishwasher and washing machine. Tomás was kind enough to leave us cooking essentials (salt, olive oil, tea, coffee) and washing/dishwasher detergent as well as soap, etc. The views from the upstairs room over the cathedral and the messy roofs of the old town are a treat to wake up to. I am sensitive to noise and despite being in the centre of town I slept very well.

All in all a great find which I would recommend and book again!
