Buckthorn

Buckthorn: Porto

A stylish but still practical flat, Buckthorn would make an excellent base from which to explore the city. Bonfim is one of the trendier areas of Porto, and while the flat’s not huge, it’s well equipped, and the balcony is a nice touch. It’s important to know that this doesn’t really feel like someone’s home (for the very good reason that it isn’t), so if you want the sense of a lived-in place, you’re better off elsewhere. When it comes to objective comfort though, Buckthorn does pretty well for itself.
