We love the vistas over the River Douro and the Gaia district from this home’s Juliet balconies and bedroom windows. Whilst the apartment is housed in a building dating from the 18th century, it’s been completely renovated inside. One thing to note, though, at full capacity, two people will be on a sofa bed in the living space. Situated in one of Porto’s picturesque districts, Ribeira – this apartment boasts an enviable location too. You’ll find a maze of cobbled medieval alleys, cosy bars, and eateries serving traditional cuisine. Attractions nearby include the iconic D. Luís Bridge and the beautiful Bolsa Palace.

Home truths:
*This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. *Guests three and four would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for two guests only. *The only bathroom is the main bedroom's en-suite. Guests staying in the living room will need to use it, which may not suit those looking for more privacy. *Given the home's central location, you may hear some street noise. Light sleepers may wish to pack earplugs. *The lounge is somewhat overlooked by the building opposite. There's a chance you might see neighbours through the window. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free on advance request.
