Located on one of Porto's historic streets, this apartment is the perfect balance between authenticity and proximity, away from the tourist crowds but still right in the heart of Porto. The building reflects the rich architectural heritage of the city, offering a simple yet deeply rooted experience of Porto’s timeless spirit. Architecture with History The building, typical of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is an authentic example of Porto’s urban architecture, with preserved neoclassical and revivalist details throughout the years. Upon entering, you'll immediately notice the ornate stucco ceilings and the decorative paneling (boiserie) on the walls, which enhance the living area. The high ceilings amplify the natural light, creating a spacious yet intimate atmosphere. Every corner of this apartment has its own character and history, and that’s something you’ll feel as soon as you step inside. The Space - Living Room & Kitchenette The living room is spacious and inviting, a perfect place to relax, read, or work in a calm setting. The kitchenette, carefully hidden behind doors, maintains the classic aesthetic of the apartment while being fully functional. It’s equipped with an electric stove, oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, providing everything you need for a practical and comfortable stay. - Bedroom The interior bedroom has no windows, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a quiet and undisturbed experience, without natural light interruptions. It’s furnished with two single beds, which can be configured into a double bed, and a wardrobe, ensuring your stay is both comfortable and practical. - Bathroom The bathroom follows the apartment’s discreet and functional style, with soft beige tones and a spacious shower area. The simple yet practical design aligns with the overall aesthetic, providing comfort and functionality. Why You'll Love Staying Here - Authenticity: Experience Porto in a genuine way, in a space with real history and unique architecture. - Discreet functionality: The compact, well-equipped kitchen, alongside the efficient use of space, ensures that the apartment is perfect for a practical and comfortable stay. - Easy access to public transport: The metro station is just a 7-minute walk away, with several bus lines that quickly connect you to Baixa, Cedofeita, and other key areas in the city. - Quiet environment: The apartment is ideal for those seeking rest and silence, offering a peaceful atmosphere for both relaxation and work. What You Should Know - No elevator: Access is via solid, but steep wooden stairs, which may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility. - Interior bedroom: The bedroom has no natural light, being an interior room, which makes it quieter and more restful, but without a view or natural light compared to other rooms. - Not luxury: This apartment offers essential comfort but isn’t a luxury space. It’s a home with soul and authenticity, where historical architecture meets modern functionality. - Soundproofing: Due to the building’s age, sound insulation isn’t perfect, so 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. Additional Information: → The property is Self-Catered.
