About this property

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).
The parking lot is located on the lower floors of the condominium, with elevators to Praça das Cardosas. In case of need of parking we thank you to mention in the reservation to be included the additional cost. (€ 30 per day)
Outside there are supermarkets, grocery stores, cafes, bakeries, restaurants, bars and a taxi rank.
Located in the heart of the historical center of Porto, all important monuments can be visited on foot: the Clérigos Tower, the Cathedral of Porto, the Lello bookstore, the Stock Exchange Palace, Ferreira Borges Market, Ribeira Square, River Douro are only 5 to 10 minutes away.

Perfect location

This room was close to everything and had a clever floor plan. There’s even a Metro stop on the corner. Plenty of interesting places within walking distance. It’s the perfect spot to discover and enjoy Porto. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful Apartment

A great place to stay in Porto, you could not ask for a better location. The apartment is very comfortable, well stocked and immaculate. The safe, underground parking is just steps away. We would highly recommend this property, and we would rent here again if in Porto in the future.

Central uptown historic area

Beautiful lil apartment, very well appointed. Very near Sao Bento stn so can hop off train 2 mins away. Loads of resto, shops, sights all around. It is very urban so there is street noise until about 22-23h. 10 min walk to Douro river front. Loved it

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!

Stay at Praça Cardosas

Clean, well appointed studio apartment in an active neighborhood. Numerous small shops and restaurants nearby. One block away from Sao Bento. The number of steps in the apartment can be tricky to navigate at night in the dark; but you soon get used to them.

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.
