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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Nice, clean unit. Very busy street.
The location is very close to the train station, which is very convenient. The down side to this is there are a lot of pan handlers and drug use is obvious. We witnessed a woman smoking crack on the steps to the entry door of our unit and the begging can be fairly aggressive at nearby restaurants. The unit was well appointed and clean. As advertised, the unit does have air conditioning, but it is a portable unit and the door to the balcony has to be open to use it. Making it very noisy and the smell of car and truck fumes fill the apartment. The street is very busy and noisy unlit late into the evening. Location is excellent, but there are downsides.

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.
