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.

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!

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.

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.

We enjoyed out stay in Porto. Susete was a great host. She was very responsive to my messages. The apartment was perfect for my wife and me. Location was great. Short walking distance to shops and restaurants. The unit was spacious and well stocked.

Great location in Porto
Location is perfect. It is close to train station, Metro and a 10 minute walk to river and numerous great restaurants. Apartment was extremely clean and comfortable. Only complaints: 1) tv did not seem to be connected to a service 2) lighting is poor and one light in kitchen was burned out as well as one in the bathroom. This should be routine maintenance. 3) Owner requested additional payment two days prior to departure for city tax which was not outlined in the original cost for the rental. Stayed in Lisbon prior to this visit and no city tax was added to the cost. Regardless, it was a good visit.

Right in the center of Porto
The appartment offers everything you need for a city-trip. It is located in a very crowded street. It is great to discover and experience Porto. At night it can get a bit loud, though. Susete was a very accomodating and helpful host. Her recommondation of the TimeOut Market was gorgeous! :-)

Cute apartment
Overall, the apartment was great. In a prime location if you’re OK with the noise… Felt like the unit could’ve been stocked a little bit better with toilet paper extra towel and maybe two laundry pods to make it easy for guests traveling.

Well located in old town
Well located flat close to Sao Bento stations - easy to get to from the airport. Easy walks to all of the hot spots. Washer is nice for long stays. Street noise can be loud but use the AC fan to help. Easy access and the host communicates well and responds quickly. Recommend

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.
