Make yourself at home in this light-filled apartment, located in Porto's lively centre. Perfect for large groups of friends or family, the spacious pad has been tastefully decorated with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. Whether you're kicking back on one of the vast L-shaped sofas or cooking up a storm in the bright kitchen-diner, you'll be surrounded by high-quality furnishings and thoughtful touches. We're particularly fond of the parquet floors throughout, as well as the views over traditional Portuguese streets.
