Monochrome & Gold: Porto

Just a few minutes from the iconic São Bento station, this two-storey apartment places you in the heart of Porto – perfect for urban explorers and those here on business. While small, thought has been put into the design of the living area, and this sense of style carries over to the bedroom, too. Convenience is king here thanks to self-check-in, toiletries, and a kitchenette with cooking basics. And when you're hungry, the nearest restaurants and cafes are only 40 yards away.

Home truths:
*This is a two-storey apartment. Guests will need to climb stairs to reach the bedroom and bathroom here.

*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. Light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.
