Home truths
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.
Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. That said, we think the best way to see the city is on foot.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.

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