You'll easily fall in love with Porto's charming old streets and vibrant cultural scene.
Our 50m² apartment is located just 15 minutes away from the city center by foot, far enough to be quiet and close enough to easily reach many gems.
We live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of cafes and shops in the area.
Note: We have a 5-year old cat called Luke. He's calm, easy-going and comfortable around strangers.
He won't require any special attention besides being fed twice a day and I can ask a friend to come by for his litter box.
2 min away from bus stops
10 min walk from metro stops
30 min from airport by metro
20 min from the beach by car
(or 30 min by bus/metro)
I used to be a tour guide in Porto for 2 years and have lived here for 5 years now, I'd be happy to send you recommendations on where to eat and where to see live music!
