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.
You can visit the Port wine cellars and the Gaia Pier crossing the bridge D. Luis on foot. You have the possibility to take a cruise on the Douro River, rent bicycles, tuktuks, take tram or train and other tours right outside your door.

Well designed unit in excellent location.
We really enjoyed the walkable location in the historic core near the San Bento train station, and lots of restaurants , shops and key sights. The apartment was beautifully designed with a full kitchen, lots of security features, and was well stocked with everything we needed.

Lovely Porto
Beautiful place. Great location. We were able to walk anywhere we needed to go. We did not mind the street noise as it added character and ambience to the stay. Might be more noise in the summer, we were there in November.

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.

Fantastic location in Porto
We stayed in this centrally located studio apartment for 3 nights. What a perfect location for exploring all the sights of Porto! Even though it’s just a studio, the apartment felt very spacious and was perfect for my husband and me. Because it’s in the heart of the city it is a bit noisy but with the windows shut at night we could sleep well! Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay! Road closure problems but not bad at all
Lovely location, clean property, communicative hosts. Had some trouble with the check in but everything worked out. Make sure you check road closures if you take a car, we had a hard time navigating to get to the recommended parking garage. Location is literally lovely.

This property is in the center of everything. It could not be more perfect for walking to all the fun and deliciousness of Porto. It was spotless and the bed was very comfy. It is bright. And the windows look upon all the hustle of the city. We would definately stay here again.

Cute Little Spot!
Thanks so much for allowing us to stay in your home! This condo fit the bill well and was in the middle of the action. Wine, a great touch! The home had everything we needed. A suggestion would be to increase your internet coverage to allow further searching of items of interest, otherwise it was a lovely stay!

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.

Conveniently located, beautiful apartment.
Across the street from the Sao Bento train and metro stations. We came in from airport by metro, convenient with luggage. Perfect location to walk the old town and see the sights. Nice stroll down a walking street, to walk to the Ribera or easy metro or busing. This apartment had two balconies. It’s noisy at night but we loved the vibe of the street activity and didn’t mind.The bed was comfortable and our hostess gave very detailed and helpful advice about the area, eateries and what to do.

Great Location
Accurate description. The managers were very responsive and easy to communicate with. The location is right on the Rue de Flores and very convenient. There is some noise at night. Not a problem if the windows are closed. Ac works well but only operates with the windo open. I recommend this VRBO.

Experience Porto Right in the Heart of the City
First of all, the apartment is extremely easy to get to, just a block away from historic São Bento train station. The street just outside the unit radiates with life and energy and you feel like you're in the middle of someplace special. Here you feel like you're actually a part of the city. Pretty much everywhere we wanted to go was within a 15-minute walk. Plus the unit was clean, compact, and the washing machine was an extremely helpful touch for two people in the middle of a two-week European trip. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location
Property is in an awesome location - walkable to everything and steps from restaurants, shops, etc. Perfect set up for 2 individuals- no real living room per se but kitchen area with a table and chairs and floor to ceiling French doors (multiple sets) to a Juliet balcony. We were in the room mainly to sleep so the layout was fine. Although you are in the hub of night time goings on, we slept each night with the room fan on and slept well and were not disturbed by any noise. Would recommend!
