Due to its important role in Porto's history, 'Rua das Flores' Street has more visitors during the day than local people. It's a place you cannot miss. Why not stay here for some days instead of just passing through?
This self-catering and quiet apartment, on the 1st floor of the Flowerstreet54 building, is carefully furnished and features hardwood floors. This well-sized and comfortable apartment is for two people. There is one bedroom with one queen-sized bed. The bathroom is clean and has a modern suite, and has a bathtub and shower. Clean bath towels, Linen, and tableware are all included and the kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, stove, oven, fridge, toaster kettle, and all you need to prepare your own meals. We can supply a travel crib at an extra cost.
The Flowerstreet54 building was completely rebuilt in 2005 and had to keep the original architecture by the imposition of the Culture Department of Portugal to maintain it's beautiful Portuguese style. The apartment is 300 meters from Ribeira Square. Located just 4 minutes walk from the Metro station 'São Bento' and also São Bento Railway Station, thus arriving from Oporto airport or any other places in Porto city is easy. The location is convenient, fast and economical and from here you can easily take advantage of all other public and tourist transport.
Next, to the apartments, there are supermarkets, grocery stores, coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, bars, museums, and taxi stops. Set in the heart of Porto's historic district, all-important monuments can be explored on foot. For example, Clerigos Tower, Lello Library, Bolsa Palace, Ferreira Borges Market, and Ribeira are all just 4 minutes away. You can also visit the wine cellars of Porto and the Cais de Gaia by simply walking across D. Luís Bridge and getting the chance to do a Cruise in the River. Nearby, you can rent bicycles, program a guided visit, and get the tram to the beach on a beautiful trip along the Douro River to the beautiful village of Pinhão.
You will have access to our Flowerstreet54 blog and our online guidebook so you can get the most out of your visit to our city without the need to do too much previous research.
Late check-in is acceptable until 02:00 a.m. (probably self-check-in after 20:00 via Key Box). Late check-out is possible if we don't have new guests on the same day.

We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay as much as most of our guests. It is clear, that you didn't make correct use of the rentals website to book an apartment in Porto that would fit her needs since there are filters that help you remove the apartments that don't have TV and or washing machines like ours and this would help you to choose the right apartment for you. We are glad you liked what we promised. Central apartment to visit the city, nice bed and decoration. Caroline left us a paper with 3 things to solve in the bathroom. In fact, the soap dispenser needed replacement (we have now changed it) but the 2 other repairs requested were due to the lack of knowledge on how to use the items. There is no more fixing to be done. Caroline could have contacted us; we would be glad to help her and explain how to use them. Best Wishes.
This is a perfect location for a stay in Porto. We were very comfortable in the space and decided that 4 nights is not long enough. Paula met us at the apartment and everything was explained plus any instructions are nicely typed out. We did a city walking tour with Guru Walking Tours and would highly recommend the guide Andre. Our hosts were very responsive though we did not need anything from them. The hosts have all kinds of Porto information on their web page. Kitchen was well equipped but why cook when you have such good food eating out! Crossed over the river for port tasting which also did not disappoint. Amazing how small this city is. We walked everywhere. Great, great location! We would definitely stay again!

Porto the nice city
We enjoyed city of Porto.
The location of property was great
The main issue was an uncomfortable bed which I notified the manager immediately and he checked it the next day and found a broken base under the mattress and he fixed it but it did not resolve the problem as the mattress was of poor quality and we continued with ongoing back pain due to uncomfortable sleep. I notified the manager again and he is planning to change it now after we have left. This was not a solution for us unfortunately but the city of Porto and its people are very nice.

Had a great stay, location perfect for accessing the Ribiera district, waterfront and town center. Enjoyed lots of great music right outside the apt. We felt safe, and the owner was easy to communicate with.
Det var fint. Ligger i gågaden. Vi bookede en p-plads 250 m fra lejligheden. Vaskeri i nærheden, ca. 200 m.
Lejligheden var hyggelig, havde en god beliggenhed. En anelse slidt. Vi brugte kun elkedel, da vi spiste ude. Udlejer havde meget kontakt med os.
Eneste minus var forkert kode til nøgleboks.

GREAT apartment in Porto
My husband and I went to Portugal to celebrate our 25th anniversary and we are so glad we included Porto as part of the trip. This is a wonderful apartment to stay at when visiting this beautiful city. The apartment is centrally located-an easy walk from the São Bento Train and Metro Stations. It is modern and clean, has a fully stocked kitchen and with a view of the cathedral. You can easily walk to any of the many historical sites around the area. We would definitely stay here again. Our hosts were very helpful and flexible with our arrival time. They gave us some great tips on where to eat and special places to see. Obrigada.

Not as good as we hoped for.
The unit has a great location on a pedestrian street within walking distance to both the river on one side and the less touristy 'city' on the other side. Cristina was charming and the unit was spotlessly clean. That being said, we would not stay there again even though we loved Porto. For us, there are a couple deal breakers: the layout of the apartment does not allow complete closure between the bedroom and the living room/kitchen area which allows light and noise to go back and forth; the internet was inconsistent and so frustratingly unreliable; and lastly, through no fault of the owners, a new restaurant opened right underneath the unit and the constant all-day noise of chairs being scraped on the stone floors as the patrons were seating themselves was very annoying.

Thank you for your review.
The layout of the apartment is well shown in the pictures and guests love the big and charming chimney in the center of the apartment. And that's why guests choose it and book it, not only via Homeaway but via other websites. During the rebuilt of the apartment, in order to keep the chimney, the bedroom and living room could not be closed, so there is a passage between them. But if you keep the windows of both sides closed, you will have complete darkness in the apartment. Complete is really 100%.
Considering the internet, we would be glad to help if we knew you were facing problems. We never got a call from you during your stay informing us of this problem. We always leave our contacts and if something is not ok, our guests contact us and we try our best to solve it.
The store at ground level is not a restaurant. It has open a store that makes pancakes and waffles with Nutella. During the first days, the store was completely full, with big queues outside the store (madness). The noise we hear is only perceptible if we are in complete silence, otherwise, you will not notice it because it is really low. Nevertheless, this store is open from 11.00 a.m. until 24:00 (on summer) and 11.00 and 23:00 (on winter), which means that the apartment will be completely silent for (at least) 11 hours (the most important time, which is during sleeping time).
Just to add to our response that the store has now (July 2017) changed the chairs so they don't do that scrap as they did in the past.
Best Wishes
Cristina & John

Excellent accommodation in Porto.
Excellent accommodation in Porto. Close to all major attractions, supermarkets and restaurants. Cristina and Joao went out of their way to be flexible with our arrival and departure times, including holding our luggage. The apartment was clean, had a great view of the cathedral, provided an excellent kitchen with cooking equipment and wifi. We would definitely stay again.

Why they chose this property
Location is crucial when visiting a city like Porto and our flat couldn't be more central than this. Metro and Train stations at 200 meters. One of the most important streets in Porto named "Rua das Flores", near to Ribeira, full of beautiful buildings, street artists and fantastic stores. Clerigos Tower, Lello Bookstore, Bolsa Palace and many other are all at less than 500m. Visit the wine cellars of Porto simply walking across D. Luís Bridge and get the chance to do a Douro Cruise.
What makes this property unique
This apartment is located in a prime location in the heart of the city, where you will be able to walk to many of the city's top attractions. Despite being in an old building, the inside of the apartment has been completely renovated, giving you the best of both worlds. You get the charm and character of an older building combined with the modern conveniences and comforts of a newly renovated space.
Overall, this apartment in the center of Porto is a great choice for those looking for a comfortable and convenient place to call home while exploring all that the city has to offer. You will not need to rent a car and the bus, train, and metro will help you in the rare cases that you will need to leave the historical area. If you still consider renting a car or coming with it from other cities, In the historic center of Porto, is not easy to find street parking without paying regardless of the apartment that you rent in this area. But there are two underground parking areas, both of them only 200 meters away (Ribeira Park and Cardosas Park). You can check the parking price here: https://parclick.com/parking-porto
