The Days That Are

Not too far from central Porto, this apartment is just around the corner from Faria Guimarães metro station. It makes an excellent base for sightseeing – you're close enough to explore on foot, but still tucked away from the hustle and bustle in livelier neighbourhoods.

Spend your days roaming along the postcard-pretty Praça da Ribeira, sampling Portuguese cuisine at the local cafes and discovering the hidden gems that lurk down every alleyway. Then, following your adventures, make your way home to this cosy flat and unwind in style. Stretch out on the sofa to rest weary legs before rustling up something to nibble on in the kitchenette. After dinner, pour yourself a glass of the city's famous port wine to enjoy alfresco on the terrace, watching as the sun slowly sets beyond the horizon.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area *This apartment is in a residential building with a shared entrance *The terrace is overlooked by other apartments, so it's not the most private spot to unwind *Although noise is to be kept to a minimum between 10pm and 8am, there's a chance you may hear your neighbours during your stay *Upon arrival, you'll be able to check yourself in *If you need to work from home, the dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace *Parking is tricky in Porto, so we suggest exploring on foot rather than driving – there's a metro station nearby
