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.
The apartment has 2 mini balconies overlooking Rua das Flores and São Bento Station (metro and trains).

An adorable, clean, modern, small studio in the heart of Porto. You are steps from the busy streets, alleys, cafes, shops and restaurants. And the whole scene plays out in front of you right outside your small balcony. Speaking of that scene, there is a wonderful restaurant, Impar Flores, right across the alley and people line up early. We drove into town from Lisbon and due to an insane amount of street construction, finding the place was quite challenging. The written directions were tough to follow. A map of the complex and precisely where the apartment is, would be very helpful. As of this writing there is not a good AC option, there is a portable unit but that requires leaving the door open and it is quite loud outside. Susete explained that she has been experiencing delays in getting a true unit installed. If you visit in the summer, check to see the progress of the installation.This was out first visit to Porto and it is a wonderful, beautiful city. And do not leave without having Franchesina!

The location couldn’t be better! It was perfectly situated for sightseeing and great nearby restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the few times it was a little warm and we used the AC, it cooled down the apartment very quickly. We were able to check in a little bit earlier than scheduled which was very appreciated. They helped us arrange airport transfer which was also really helpful. Highly recommend!

The room is in the heart of Porto. It was incredibly clean. While there is a big of noise outside, everything clears out by 11 and then it's quiet. However, if you're an early bird you can easily close the large shutter doors to drown out any news. The only issue we had was getting in to the garage, where we parked our car, and then into our apt. The codes can be tough at night and there is a lot of road work being done there and that day both roads were closed so we had to try to talk to the policia to let us in. But that isn't due to Susete. Her place was wonderful and she was very responsive. A great place to stay in the heart of Porto.

Don't be fooled by the advertised air conditioning, you will be gravely disappointed. There's a floor unit, you opened the floor to ceiling doors and put the exhaust hose out the door. So while a trickle of cool air is coming from the unit a blast of hot air comes through to the apartment. Instructions to enty are so confusing and complicated even my driver couldn't figure them out. This being said, great location for sight seeing and was very clean.

We really enjoyed staying in this apartment. The location is perfect and is within walking distance to major tourist attractions, restaurants, nightlife and train stations. The host sent us some excellent recommendations for food. Although the apartment is on a busy street, noise was never an issue for us. Yes, it can be busy during the day, but once the restaurants close in the evening, it was actually very quiet. We enjoyed the balcony and viewing the historic street below. The host was very quick to respond and we would definitely stay here again.

The apartment is a wonderful location. Perfect space for two. But it's not really air conditioned. It's a unit that has to go out the door, so you have to have the terrace door opened when it's running and the street is very loud.

An Awesome Place

We absolutely loved this location and little apartment. Although on a busy street, when you closed all of the doors on the little balconies, the sound was almost completely blocked. The apartment had all the amenities anyone would ever need to have a wonderful stay in Porto. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Susete was able to answer all of our questions and always responded in a timely manner. The place was very clean and the tub was excellent for someone who enjoys a bath! Loved our little home for the week. Loved Porto!

We felt very safe and comfortable in the apartment. It had everything you could need. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and spacious bathroom.

Power outage

This property was in the perfect location, just what we were looking for. It is small, but very clean and in a nice building. We were provided fans, fully stocked kitchen and towels for the bathroom. Unfortunately, we were playing cards with the lights on late in the evening and the power went out. We also had a fan on, but it was provided by the property manager. At this point we were unable to contact the property manager after several attempts. It would have been helpful if we were provided a "what to do if something goes wrong" contact. The next day she indicated there is someone in the building who can help, but we had no way of knowing that.Luckily we bbrought headlamps on our trip.

Wonderful Stay in the Heart of Porto!

We had an amazing experience staying at this apartment in Porto! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming. The apartment was spotlessly clean, stylishly decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay — including a fully equipped kitchen, cozy bed, and great Wi-Fi. There’s a washer/dryer combo in unit. No laundry detergent. Safe is also included to lock valuables.The location was perfect: close to restaurants, shops, and some of Porto’s best sights and Sao Bento train station, but still quiet enough for a restful night’s sleep when we got it. It truly felt like a home away from home.Our host was incredibly kind and helpful, offering great local tips and always quick to respond to any questions. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into making this place special for guests.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Porto!
