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).

Heart of Porto
Great property right in the heart of Porto. Within walking distance of everything. Exactly as advertised. We would definitely stay here again. Short walk to the waterfront. If you want to experience Porto this property is perfect.

Right in the heart of the city. Easy Uber ride to property. Can be a bit confusing to find the entry door the first time, but quickly figured it out. Can be a bit noisy at night, as you’re right on one of the busier areas in town. It’s the city though, so you can’t complain. Shower head wasn’t attached to the wall, so showering was a bit difficult. I’m sure they’ll get that repaired. Would stay here again, no question about it.

Well designed unit in excellent location.
We really enjoyed the walkable location in the historic core near the San Bento train station, and lots of restaurants , shops and key sights. The apartment was beautifully designed with a full kitchen, lots of security features, and was well stocked with everything we needed.

Nice, clean unit. Very busy street.
The location is very close to the train station, which is very convenient. The down side to this is there are a lot of pan handlers and drug use is obvious. We witnessed a woman smoking crack on the steps to the entry door of our unit and the begging can be fairly aggressive at nearby restaurants. The unit was well appointed and clean. As advertised, the unit does have air conditioning, but it is a portable unit and the door to the balcony has to be open to use it. Making it very noisy and the smell of car and truck fumes fill the apartment. The street is very busy and noisy unlit late into the evening. Location is excellent, but there are downsides.

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.
