Apartment in Porto
Reasons to book
About this apartment rental
Located on the third floor of a historic building, this apartment perfectly blends Porto’s timeless spirit with modern comfort. It reflects the crossing of two worlds - where the city’s rich architectural heritage meets minimalist, contemporary design - creating a harmonious space that’s both rooted in history and attuned to modern living.
Architecture with Soul
The building, a charming example of Porto’s late 19th and early 20th-century architecture, retains its unique character with subtle neoclassical details. Stepping inside, you’ll immediately notice the high stucco ceilings, which add a sense of spaciousness and lightness to the apartment. The original wooden floors echo the city’s history, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
While this apartment keeps the traditional essence of Porto, it also offers a minimalist and modern environment designed for comfort and ease.
The Space
- Living Room and Kitchenette
The living room features a cozy chaise-longue sofa-bed and a TV, making it a perfect spot to unwind or catch up on your favorite shows. The living room opens up to a glazed balcony, where natural light pours in, brightening the space. A dining table for two sits comfortably by the window, ideal for enjoying a meal or a coffee.
Behind discreet doors, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchenette. It includes an electric stove, oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and a Dolce Gusto coffee machine. Whether you’re preparing a light snack or a full meal, the space is functional yet blends seamlessly with the apartment’s traditional feel.
- Bedroom
The bedroom is compact yet comfortable, with two single beds (80 x 200 cm). The room is interior, providing a peaceful atmosphere away from the noise of the city. While the room doesn't have natural light, it’s thoughtfully connected to the bathroom with a bathtub, allowing for a calm and restful experience.
- Bathroom
The bathroom area is designed for privacy and comfort. The sink and bathtub are located in one section, offering a spacious area for relaxation, while the toilet and additional sink are conveniently located in a separate space, ensuring both practicality and privacy.

What You Should Know
- No elevator: The apartment is on the third floor, accessible by steep wooden stairs, which may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
- Interior bedroom: While the bedroom is interior and without natural light, it provides a calm and quiet atmosphere for restful sleep.
- Compact but complete: This apartment is not luxurious but offers all the essential comforts for an enjoyable stay in Porto, balancing historical charm with modern functionality.
- Soundproofing: Due to the building’s age, sound insulation isn’t perfect - occasional street or neighbor noise may be heard. We believe it’s a small trade-off for staying in a place with such genuine character.
