About this property

Flowerstreet54 - Romantic Apartment at Downtown Center

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 apartment, on the 2nd 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 with 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 its beautiful Portuguese style. The apartment is 300 meters from Ribeira Square. Located just 4 minute's walk from the Metro station 'São Bento' and also São Bento Railway Station, thus arriving from Oporto airport or any other place 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 apartment, 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 will be at the apartment on your arrival to welcome you, and give you the apartment keys and all the necessary information that you may need for a perfect stay, including nice tips on what to visit. You will always be able to contact us by mobile phone or WhatsApp.

We really enjoyed our stay at this Porto property. Everything we needed was right outside our doorstep or a short walk away. The apartment was clean, quiet and had everything we needed for our short stay. The hosts were wonderful. We would stay again.

Excellent stay
My wife and I had a great week in Porto. Location is central on the pedestrian street with plenty of the restaurants. However, the night life that was nice to observe from the small balcony, didn't disturbed our night sleep. Apartments are spacious and everything worked fine: no problems with high speed Internet (WiFi), or other utilities (I mentioned it because as a seasoned VRBO user I know that it is not always the case). Another thing that I want to mention that I got very clear check in and check out instructions that were easy to follow. Our hosts responded to our questions right away and we felt like we had friends in Porto that take very good care of us.

Great location!
Loved the apartment in old Porto! Literally in the middle of flower street and basically no cars - only people! We could be part of the action just in the apartment! An excellent restaurant a few steps away..Tracas- the grilled veal was amazing! The street was busy during the day & evening, but very quiet if doors of balcony were closed. Convenient to train station and most anything you’d want to see! Highly recommend..but must climb stairs, no elevator! Excellent communication with owners!

Such a lovely apartment in a great location. The street is closed to cars and it is no nice to walk out and stroll. Convenient to all the sites. We walked everywhere. Communication was superb and they offered to arrange transport from the airport which was one less thing to worry about. If you are taking a train, it is extremely close to Sao Bento train station. Very clean and spacious for a one bedroom. Would stay again.

Awesome property and location
So easy to walk everywhere in Porto. Located on busy street. Super fun but neighborhood is busy into wee hours. Bring ear plugs if noise bothers you as there is no AC and window must be open. There are two windows but only one works.

Charming sweet little appartment
We had such a great time in Porto. This was mainly due to the very charming location we had been in right in the heart of Porto. To Mr and Mrs Pinto it is very important, to make the guests feel very comfortable and relaxed. Mr and Mrs Pinto gave us a lot of inspirations and recommendations to get to the most beautiful and interesting places in Porto. What a luck to have the opportunity to rent that appartment and got to know the "Pintos".. Thank you very much for your hospitality, your kind assistance what made our trip to an ever lasting moment H.B.

The location was great, however the apartment definitely needs an upgrade to the lighting, as all lights were very dim. The condition of the couch was a bit sad and uncomfortable. The bed could really use a mattress topper for those of us who are a bit older. My wife would have appreciated a mirror by a power supply to blow dry and straighten her hair. Having said all that, we still enjoyed our stay in Porto.

Lovely apartment in fabulous location!
In one of Porto's top tourist hotspots, the apartment is in easy walking distance of most of the city's many attractions. It is spacious, well-appointed and comfortable, with big windows and good views. The street can get very noisy, but the acoustic glass windows deal with it incredibly well. On the other hand, there's so much music in the street that it's like getting a free concert. Cristina, Paula and Joao were very good hosts - helpful, good communicators and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended!

Perfect stay!
Husband and I spent 2 1/2 weeks in an apartment here. Glorious! The apartment looked out over the pedestrian-only street filled with happy voices, street musicians and beautiful sights. Located over a Nutella and waffle shop meant the only street aromas were mild and actually quite appealing. Furnishings were very comfortable and attractive. Close the doors to the outside, silence, even on busy weekends. Location- perfect! Many restaurants and shops close by. Minutes to Metro, train, mini preco and laundromat. Our host was very helpful and friendly. Thank you! Wonderful stay!

Wonderful stay at a great location!
We loved everything about our stay. Having stayed in multiple VRBO's over the past two months in Spain and Portugal, the welcome pack and quantity of towels, face cloths (rarely provided for some reason) and toiletries (one VRBO left us one role of toilet paper for a 10 day stay) was a welcomed surprise! The apartment was much bigger than we needed but with 95,000 visitors in town for the Mobile World Congress we were very happy to find this gem. One small issue arose when the kettle's auto shut off stopped working. This was resolved and a new kettle delivered in just a few hours! While televisions are not a major concern, the apartment has a nice smart TV with Netflix pre-loaded (always remember to LOG OUT when using someone else's TV). The WiFi was plenty fast and allowed us to easily communicate with family and friends. We would absolutely stay here again when visiting Barcelona!

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 Ribeira, is full of beautiful buildings, street artists, and fantastic stores. Clerigos Tower, Lello Bookstore, Bolsa Palace, and many others are all at less than 500m. Visit the wine cellars of Porto simply walking across D. Luís Bridge and getting the chance to do a Douro Cruise. Imagine being able to roll out of bed and into the bustling streets of Porto within minutes.

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

You will have access to our blog and our online guidebook so you can take the maximum of your visit to our city without the need to do too much previous research.
