While studio apartments can sometimes be disappointing due to the lack of space, this cosy gem located in the heart of Porto between two stunning city parks has all the charm and comfort to more than make up for its compact size. An ideal base for a romantic getaway, as well as for a solo traveller, this pad will make your Porto stay a relaxing and memorable one. The hosts quite clearly have a special connection with this place, and it shows in the loving way they’ve decorated and maintained it. Enter to be welcomed by a light-filled space, with huge windows letting in streams of natural light gently reflected off the greenery of the garden outside. There is more than ample room for relaxing and lounging about on the plush sofa, where you can enjoy movie nights and evenings of wine and conversation. You’ll also be able to whip up quick and delicious meals in the bright and modern kitchen, and you can share them with your travel companion at the dining table. For a night of restful sleep, the luxurious soft bed awaits you, and although it is situated in the same space as the living area, you won’t feel cramped here. Wake up restored and ready for another day of city adventures – but first, start your day right with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Outside you’re front door you’ll find yourself within easy walking distance to most of the city’s exciting sights – with the iconic Torre dos Clérigos just five minutes away.
