7. The cosy two-bed near the UNESCO World Heritage Site

When we say something is postcard-perfect, we usually don’t mean it actually appears in the postcards but this comfortable apartment, located near Porto’s cathedral in the Unesco World Heritage area, does just that.

Rooms? Two bedrooms. Sleeps six.
The Mood?
Relaxed artistic hangout lovingly cared for.
Location perks?
Walk around the other side of the house and: there’s the cathedral!
Budget range?
Affordable.
Time Out tip:
The hosts provides lots of ‘extras’ including wood for the woodburning stove, if you’re here for a wintry trip.

8. The premium loft near Luiz Primeiro

A loft apartment with a difference. If somewhere minimal and modern is what you expect from places to stay in Porto, this is your guy. It's in the perfect location too, found in the heart of the Historic Center, an area classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. 

Rooms? Three bedrooms. Sleeps four.
The Mood?
City slicker minimalism with a few quirky twists.
Location perks?
You’d struggle to find a home closer to the D. Luis I Bridge!
Budget range?
Good value for a stylish stay.

Only 200m from the medieval maze that is the Ribeira – make the most of lazy mornings wandering those atmospheric streets.
