Historic Center Porto - Passeio das Cardosas

The apartment is located in Passeio das Cardosas, a project representative of a remarkable work of urban rehabilitation in downtown Porto. It is a block bounded on the north by Praça da Liberdade, on the east by Praça de Almeida Garrett, on the south by Rua das Flores and on the west by Largo dos Lóios and Rua Trindade Coelho. This intervention allowed the public to open a new square, Praça das Cardosas, inside the block. The Square has 24-hour surveillance and its interior is closed from 7:00 p.m. and only residents are allowed to enter.
The apartment was carefully decorated, emphasizing the quality of the materials and the comfort of the textures of the fabrics used. Well sized and comfortable for 2 people, with a play area with two armchairs, a table and TV. The sleeping area has a double bed, equipped with bed linen, Colunex mattress that offers health and well-being, headrest in capitoné of white skin and sufficient cushions to guarantee the necessary comfort. We have a guest bed that will be installed whenever necessary. The room has underfloor heating which allows full comfort even in the winter months.
On the upper floor we have the kitchen and the dining table. The kitchen is equipped to provide a good culinary experience: stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator, freezer, extractor hood, toaster and kettle.
The toilet is equipped with a modern set of hanging crockery, a bathtub with shower and a closet. We offer towels, bath sheets, hair dryer, washing machine, iron, ironing board and drying rack.
The cleaning of the apartment is ensured by a carefully selected suitable company. In case of prolonged stays the periodicity of cleaning will be agreed with the guest by means of price adjustment.
We have wireless internet and access to cable TV.

Lovely Porto
Beautiful place. Great location. We were able to walk anywhere we needed to go. We did not mind the street noise as it added character and ambience to the stay. Might be more noise in the summer, we were there in November.

Great location in Porto
We had superb communication with the host. Some difficulty locating and accessing the property at check-in was addressed over the phone easily. My only suggestion would be to simplify/clarify the instructions to access the apartment and access code system. The apartment was very clean and suitable for a couple staying in central Porto. Everything is very accessible by foot, including the main train station (Sao Bento) just down the street. Located on a main street of Porto, nights are loud and often can be heard from the bedroom. Temperature control is more difficult than expected given the type of A/C unit in the apartment (requires the window to be open at night to vent hot air, which is not preferable when the street is loud). Lastly, the host required an additional cash payment to comply with Portugal's tourist tax, and the payment was not included in the "property fee" as expected.

Great location made for very noisy stay
This is a clean, cute apartment which looks out onto a nice pedestrian only street. Very walkable to restaurants, shops, sights and close to the train station so the apartment is easy to get to. Unfortunately, we stayed during a very busy time for tourists and the weather was very hot. Some of the reviews say they were able to shut out the street noise by closing the windows and shutters, but this was not an option for us as we needed to run the air conditioner. The air conditioner was a portable unit which was quite effective but required that the window/door out to the street remain open. With the window open we heard the street noise which went on most of the night and started early in the morning. Also note that there is construction going on at the train station (jackhammers/pile drivers) so the noise during the day was intense (visit October 2023). Not really a problem as we were generally out all day exploring but wouldn't be suitable if you wanted to work or spend time in the apartment during the day (for example to nap/catch up on sleep).

Conveniently located, beautiful apartment.
Across the street from the Sao Bento train and metro stations. We came in from airport by metro, convenient with luggage. Perfect location to walk the old town and see the sights. Nice stroll down a walking street, to walk to the Ribera or easy metro or busing. This apartment had two balconies. It’s noisy at night but we loved the vibe of the street activity and didn’t mind.The bed was comfortable and our hostess gave very detailed and helpful advice about the area, eateries and what to do.

Experience Porto Right in the Heart of the City
First of all, the apartment is extremely easy to get to, just a block away from historic São Bento train station. The street just outside the unit radiates with life and energy and you feel like you're in the middle of someplace special. Here you feel like you're actually a part of the city. Pretty much everywhere we wanted to go was within a 15-minute walk. Plus the unit was clean, compact, and the washing machine was an extremely helpful touch for two people in the middle of a two-week European trip. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location in Porto
We stayed in this centrally located studio apartment for 3 nights. What a perfect location for exploring all the sights of Porto! Even though it’s just a studio, the apartment felt very spacious and was perfect for my husband and me. Because it’s in the heart of the city it is a bit noisy but with the windows shut at night we could sleep well! Would definitely stay here again.

Great Location
Accurate description. The managers were very responsive and easy to communicate with. The location is right on the Rue de Flores and very convenient. There is some noise at night. Not a problem if the windows are closed. Ac works well but only operates with the windo open. I recommend this VRBO.
