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.

10/10 stay at Susete’s place. We stayed 4 nights in April 2026 and wouid rent again. Very smooth check in, very good location, apt. is very clean. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay! Excellent central location, easy on/off train for arrival and day trips - Susete was extremely helpful and welcoming with excellent food and site recommendations - We will definitely return! Porto is a beautiful city with lovely people!!
Our host was very responsive, which helped, since this was our first trip to Porto. Great location and everything we wanted was very accessible. This was our third stop during our stay in Portugal and having the luxury of a Vrbo and a washing machine was a real plus. Excellent value for the money. Not large but very efficient.
Perfect level of equipment in an absolutely perfect location for the two of us. The host was excellent and we used the transfer partner to and from the airport (again, excellent). We will be using this wonderful apartment again when we return to Porto
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is very well located right in the heart of Porto, very close to the train station, tons of great restaurants and walking distance to many attractions. It was very clean and modern. We would definitely recommend.

Cozy, well appointed apartment in an excellent location. Somewhat noisy because of the street activity below it but otherwise great. Host went out of her way to provide information about the apartment and the area.

This apartment was small but had everything we needed. It was clean and in a great location near many shops, the train station, and restaurants. We would gladly stay again.
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!

Well equipped and location was perfect to explore the city! The AC should be addressed as you can only run it with the door open which we were not comfortable doing at night. Other than that it was great!

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in Porto.
We have permission from the condominium to install an air conditioning unit on the wall, as long as it's not visible from the building's facade. It will be installed in the next few weeks. Thank you for your improvement suggestion. See you soon.
