Casa da Cultura

Occupying a privileged spot in the heart of Porto, this apartment is a convenient base for those exploring the city. Inside, it's a thoughtfully decorated space with balcony doors that open up the communal living area. While the kitchenette is very small and only suitable for prepping lighter bites than larger meals, you'll find plenty of casual eateries, bars and cafes on your doorstep. Location-wise, this one is hard to beat – though some street noise should be expected.

Home truths:
*You'll be able to check yourself in here 24/7. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. *We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. That said, you'll find some of the area's best restaurants close by. *You'll have to climb stairs as there's no lift in the apartment building. *It's a Juliet balcony so there's no seating. However, we still think it's a nice spot to perch with a drink.
