About this property

Historic Center Porto - Passeio das Cardosas

The apartment is located in Passeio das Cardosas, a project representative of a remarkable work of urban rehabilitation in downtown Porto. It is a block bounded on the north by Praça da Liberdade, on the east by Praça de Almeida Garrett, on the south by Rua das Flores and on the west by Largo dos Lóios and Rua Trindade Coelho. This intervention allowed the public to open a new square, Praça das Cardosas, inside the block. The Square has 24-hour surveillance and its interior is closed from 7:00 p.m. and only residents are allowed to enter.
The apartment was carefully decorated, emphasizing the quality of the materials and the comfort of the textures of the fabrics used. Well sized and comfortable for 2 people, with a play area with two armchairs, a table and TV. The sleeping area has a double bed, equipped with bed linen, Colunex mattress that offers health and well-being, headrest in capitoné of white skin and sufficient cushions to guarantee the necessary comfort. We have a guest bed that will be installed whenever necessary. The room has underfloor heating which allows full comfort even in the winter months.
On the upper floor we have the kitchen and the dining table. The kitchen is equipped to provide a good culinary experience: stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator, freezer, extractor hood, toaster and kettle.
The toilet is equipped with a modern set of hanging crockery, a bathtub with shower and a closet. We offer towels, bath sheets, hair dryer, washing machine, iron, ironing board and drying rack.
The cleaning of the apartment is ensured by a carefully selected suitable company. In case of prolonged stays the periodicity of cleaning will be agreed with the guest by means of price adjustment.
We have wireless internet and access to cable TV.
The apartment has 2 mini balconies overlooking Rua das Flores and São Bento Station (metro and trains).

The location couldn’t be better! It was perfectly situated for sightseeing and great nearby restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the few times it was a little warm and we used the AC, it cooled down the apartment very quickly. We were able to check in a little bit earlier than scheduled which was very appreciated. They helped us arrange airport transfer which was also really helpful. Highly recommend!

Well equipped and location was perfect to explore the city! The AC should be addressed as you can only run it with the door open which we were not comfortable doing at night. Other than that it was great!

We really enjoyed staying in this apartment. The location is perfect and is within walking distance to major tourist attractions, restaurants, nightlife and train stations. The host sent us some excellent recommendations for food. Although the apartment is on a busy street, noise was never an issue for us. Yes, it can be busy during the day, but once the restaurants close in the evening, it was actually very quiet. We enjoyed the balcony and viewing the historic street below. The host was very quick to respond and we would definitely stay here again.

The room is in the heart of Porto. It was incredibly clean. While there is a big of noise outside, everything clears out by 11 and then it's quiet. However, if you're an early bird you can easily close the large shutter doors to drown out any news. The only issue we had was getting in to the garage, where we parked our car, and then into our apt. The codes can be tough at night and there is a lot of road work being done there and that day both roads were closed so we had to try to talk to the policia to let us in. But that isn't due to Susete. Her place was wonderful and she was very responsive. A great place to stay in the heart of Porto.

Fantastic location

The apartment is a wonderful location. Perfect space for two. But it's not really air conditioned. It's a unit that has to go out the door, so you have to have the terrace door opened when it's running and the street is very loud.

Beautiful Apartment

A great place to stay in Porto, you could not ask for a better location. The apartment is very comfortable, well stocked and immaculate. The safe, underground parking is just steps away. We would highly recommend this property, and we would rent here again if in Porto in the future.

Wonderful property - perfect location!

We spent 5 wonderful days in Porto and a lot had to do with our stay in this wonderful apartment. Susete was so helpful and gave us all the information we needed to get into the apartment but also gave us such helpful suggestions and recommendations to make our stay even more memorable. We felt very safe and comfortable in the apartment. It had everything you could need. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. It does get a little noisy later in the evening, but it didn’t keep us up.

An Awesome Place

We absolutely loved this location and little apartment. Although on a busy street, when you closed all of the doors on the little balconies, the sound was almost completely blocked. The apartment had all the amenities anyone would ever need to have a wonderful stay in Porto. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Susete was able to answer all of our questions and always responded in a timely manner. The place was very clean and the tub was excellent for someone who enjoys a bath! Loved our little home for the week. Loved Porto!

Don't be fooled by the advertised air conditioning, you will be gravely disappointed. There's a floor unit, you opened the floor to ceiling doors and put the exhaust hose out the door. So while a trickle of cool air is coming from the unit a blast of hot air comes through to the apartment. Instructions to enty are so confusing and complicated even my driver couldn't figure them out. This being said, great location for sight seeing and was very clean.
