If you’re after a practical bolthole in the heart of Porto’s historic centre, this apartment ticks the right boxes. Granted, it‘s not the most soulful of places, but the Juliet balconies on the windows are a nice touch to soak up the street bustle below. It’s worth noting the second bedroom lacks natural light, as there’s no window – perfect for banking a good night’s kip, but it won’t suit everyone. But for such an unbeatable location, we can let that slide. Set along vibrant Rua Formosa, you’ve got Porto’s happening restaurant scene on your doorstep, and all the sights are within easy reach.
