Located on the first floor of a historic building, this apartment beautifully illustrates how classic architecture and contemporary living can coexist. With ornate stucco ceilings, preserved wooden floors, and a thoughtful layout, the space combines comfort and character - perfect for those seeking an authentic yet modern Porto experience. 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. Inside the apartment, you’ll find elaborate stucco ceilings and original wooden floors that preserve the charm and craftsmanship of the era. At the same time, the interiors have been thoughtfully updated with modern finishes and minimalist furniture. The result is a seamless blend of past and present - where heritage meets comfort, and tradition meets simplicity. The Space - Living Room & Balcony A bright and inviting living area where clean lines and minimalist furnishings highlight the elegance of the traditional architecture. Full-length French windows flood the space with natural light and open onto a private balcony, which includes a staircase with access to the building’s shared garden - a rare feature in central Porto. The living space includes a sofa-bed, two armchairs, a TV, and a dining table for four - ideal for relaxing, working, or entertaining. - Kitchen A fully equipped, functional kitchen designed for longer stays or daily cooking. It includes an electric stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and a Dolce Gusto coffee machine - everything you need to feel at home. - Bedroom Accessible via a small hallway, the bedroom features a queen-sized bed and two large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The modern laminate floor contrasts nicely with the building’s older architectural elements. The room also has a private ensuite bathroom with a shower. - Bathrooms In addition to the ensuite, there’s also a social bathroom, offering extra convenience - especially for couples or small families sharing the space. Why You'll Love Staying Here - Classic Porto charm: Enjoy the beauty of preserved architectural details with all the comfort of a modern space. - Natural light & garden access: The open balcony and direct access to the shared garden add a rare indoor-outdoor feel to your stay. - Convenient location: Close to metro and bus connections, with quick access to Baixa, Cedofeita, and other key neighborhoods. What You Should Know - First floor, no elevator: The apartment is easy to reach, but may not be suitable for guests requiring step-free access. - Shared garden: The outdoor area is communal and may be accessed by other residents of the building. - Not luxury: Not luxury, but thoughtful: While not a luxury stay, the apartment offers all the essentials - balancing historic charm with modern functionality for a relaxed and comfortable experience. - 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.
