Sitting right on Rua das Flores – one of Porto’s most beautiful, popular streets – this stunningly bright apartment not only puts you in a wonderfully central location from which to explore the city but offers a true taste of Portuguese living too. Stepping into the compact yet wonderfully curated living area, you’ll immediately be dazzled by the amount of natural light pouring in through the pair of whitewashed French doors that lead out onto a narrow, private balcony. Equipped with a table and chairs, this privileged outdoor space is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while indulging in some people-watching or sipping a sundowner while admiring the fading light glistening across the colourful, tiled buildings opposite. The main bedroom offers equally enchanting street views to wake up to each morning with its own sets of French doors, while the window-side desk space here offers a most inspiring spot from which to catch up on work. When it comes to things to see and do nearby, you need only walk out your front door to discover countless shops, restaurants and bars, while Clerigos Tower, Porto Cathedral, the Livraria Lello bookstore and bustling Cais da Ribeira are all within a ten-minute walk away. Home truths: *It's on the second floor with no lift *As you're on a very popular, busy street, some noise during the day and at night is to be expected *There is construction work taking place in the area on weekdays between 8 am and 6 pm *The second bedroom doesn't have any external windows *Smoking is allowed on the balcony *The building's entrance is communal *You'll receive an in-person check-in *Your host may be able to accommodate a later check-out time on request *Your host offers luggage storage from 12 pm onwards on request *You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started
