This inviting studio flat in a UNESCO World Heritage City is ready to become your new home. It is located on Rua Miguel Bombarda, known for being a hub of art galleries, alternative shops, and a gathering place for art enthusiasts and new ideas. Enjoy the privileged location while staying in a beautifully decorated studio apartment with high-quality furniture, appliances, fast wi-fi, and minimalistic details for a luxurious yet charming atmosphere. The Ribeira District is steeped in history, a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets, ancient houses, and Portuguese character, and it's a great place to walk around during the day. To truly embrace the locality of Porto and feel immersed in the culture, visit one of the many Port cellars for a wine tasting session. Last but not least, don't miss The Foz District, located at the mouth of the Douro River and features incredible beaches, river sidewalks, and a laid-back atmosphere.

In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
