Seaside Splendor

Seaside Splendor: Porto

Perched just seconds from Foz do Douro waterfront, with its vibey beach bars and sandy shores, you can see why this apartment caught our eye. While there’s no seafront views from the home, it won’t take you long to find them and there’s a tram nearby to hotfoot it into central Porto. While we can’t fault the home's spotless, minimalist interiors, it’s worth noting at full occupancy the last guest will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the lounge. We also think compared to the rest of the spacious home, the kitchen feels pocket-sized. But with a happening restaurant scene just a stroll away, we can forgive that.

Home truths:
*Construction work is ongoing in the area around the home from 8am to 7pm. Be prepared to experience some noise disturbance during your stay.
*This home sleeps five guests, with the last guest sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room. We think this bed is better suited for short stays or a teen.
*The kitchen is compact and, therefore, better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*Due to the sloping ceilings in the bedrooms, head height may be restricted in some areas.
*Bathroom essentials are provided to help you settle in.
*This home is in a central spot, so expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. Light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.
