Charming & Unique Downtown Flat

About the apartment
Centrally located in a quiet square, the flat is within walking distance to most of Porto landmarks, with easy access to major transportation lines.
The building has been completely renovated in 2014 to the highest standard, providing all the comfort of a modern house while maintaining its beautiful original features, such as its staircase or its windows in traditional Portuguese style.
The flat comfortably accommodates 6 people and it’s your perfect home away. Whether you are a family with children or a group of friends looking for a home away, this is a place you’ll be looking forward to come back to after a day out in the town.
With 125 square meters, the flat occupies the entire 3rd floor of the building.
The flat is very bright, with plenty of natural light coming from windows on three sides.
The flat has two bedrooms, one master bedroom, double bed and on-suite bathroom, and another bedroom also with a double bed. There is a second complete bathroom. There is also a charming mezzanine with two single beds that can serve either as a third bedroom (accommodating 2 people) or a relaxing sitting area. A small balcony overlooks the city. Bed linen and towels are provided.
The living room is tastefully decorated, including a dining table sitting up to 6 people. There is also a tv and free wi-fi internet throughout.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances and utensils necessary for you to prepare your Portuguese inspired meals, or simply prepare breakfast before you head out.

About Porto
Overlooking the Douro River, Porto is one of the most ancient European cities. It was born and developed from the northern bank of this river during the Middle Ages. One of the most significant aspects of Porto and its historical centre is its landscape, combining harmony with the urban structure and presenting a frame of rare beauty. The city was classified as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1996.

When discovering Porto, you will find many surprises. Besides its welcoming and historical environment, Porto is also contemporary and artistic. This is shown not only in the streets, architecture, monuments and museums but also in the terraces, restaurants, nightlife and shopping areas.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Excellent central property
We had a wonderful stay in Porto. The property was spacious and clean. Despite the central location the property was quiet. The owners were there to greet us on our arrival and were very helpful. We were given lots of tips were to visit and which restaurants to go to. We were very pleased with the apartment and would stay there again.

Lovely clean, light apartment that is central enough that you can walk in to central Porto.
We stayed here with our 3 children for 5 nights and really enjoyed this lovely apartment. It’s rare to get somewhere that sleeps 6 that has enough beds (usually its 3 double beds... fine for most of the time but my boys are very wriggly and wake each other up so having one room with twin beds was perfect. The flat was very clean, had everything we could possibly need to make our stay comfortable. Filomena was a superb host and helped us work out our surroundings and what we’d like to see whilst visiting. She was also super practical and ensured we had plenty of everything we might need (and very welcoming with a lovely bowl of fruit and delicious bottle of chilled wine on a hot day!) The apartment is in a quiet area ... apart from the seagulls ;) but there are many lovely places to eat nearby, and it’s ten minutes walk in to the centre of Porto. There are a couple of supermarkets close by and it’s about 2 minutes walk to the metro station. It’s also easy to get here on the metro from the airport. There are quite a few stairs to get up to the apartment (and some within it) so if you struggle with mobility this flat would probably be more challenging for you...it wasn’t a problem for us at all and we loved being able to see over the rooftops, but just something to be aware of if you need to consider it. We’d definitely stay here again if we returned and send a huge thank you to our lovely hosts for making us feel so welcome.

A beautiful flat in a very convenient location
An excellent stay in a beautiful, comfortable, and very clean flat. We were met at Trindade station by Filomena's friend who took us to the flat and who showed us everything. The location could not be more convenient, very easy walking distance from Trindade metro station, a direction connection to the Airport and to Campanha station. While the 'sights' could easily be reached on foot, the neighbourhood felt real, with local shops and restaurants very close. Thank you!

Lovely apartment, with lovely people.
Our stay at Charming and Unique Downtown apartment was very nice, the apartment was very clean and everything you need, Filomana and Walter were very nice people, they were there at the apartment to see us in, even thought it was very late when we arrived. We was able to leave our luggage at the apartment until we had to leave, Filomana called our taxi for us when we had to leave. Porto was lovely would recommend the apartment and Porto.
