Description
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).

Great stay! Road closure problems but not bad at all
Lovely location, clean property, communicative hosts. Had some trouble with the check in but everything worked out. Make sure you check road closures if you take a car, we had a hard time navigating to get to the recommended parking garage. Location is literally lovely.

Cute Little Spot!
Thanks so much for allowing us to stay in your home! This condo fit the bill well and was in the middle of the action. Wine, a great touch! The home had everything we needed. A suggestion would be to increase your internet coverage to allow further searching of items of interest, otherwise it was a lovely stay!

Fantastic location
Property is in an awesome location - walkable to everything and steps from restaurants, shops, etc. Perfect set up for 2 individuals- no real living room per se but kitchen area with a table and chairs and floor to ceiling French doors (multiple sets) to a Juliet balcony. We were in the room mainly to sleep so the layout was fine. Although you are in the hub of night time goings on, we slept each night with the room fan on and slept well and were not disturbed by any noise. Would recommend!

Perfect Location, Spotless
This property is in the center of everything. It could not be more perfect for walking to all the fun and deliciousness of Porto. It was spotless and the bed was very comfy. It is bright. And the windows look upon all the hustle of the city. We would definately stay here again.

Delightful apartment in heart of Porto
My husband and I enjoyed four nights in this beautiful apartment on Rua da Flores. The apartment is immaculately clean and has everything you need for a short stay. The location is on one of the most interesting and lively streets in Porto. It can be a little noisy at night but the quality French doors to the balconies help a great deal. The multiple balconies make the space very light and airy. Susete was an excellent host- providing easy instructions and details about the apartment as well as a lot of info about Porto, things to see and do as well as suggested restaurants. We loved Porto would love to stay in Susete’ s apartment again!
