It has a living room with double bed plus a single bed for one adult or one child, a kitchen and a full bathroom. It also has a balcony overlooking the typical orange roofs of Porto and the Clérigos Tower.

Four minute walk from São Bento train station and subway station, near Avenida dos Aliados. Just a few minutes from Ribeira and beside the Porto Cathedral, being in this apartment is being in the centre of Porto and benefiting from a calm and at the same time all the areas of culture, entertainment and nightlife.

No damage deposit needed and no cleaning fees either.

Late check-in will be possible according to availability and no extra cost will be charged.

Late check-out will be possible, too, but according to other guest's arrival.

Urban apartment - Casa da Portela is registered at the Tourism Board of Portugal (no. 5105/AL) and supervised by the local authorities, Camara Municipal do Porto and ASAE. This means it is run according to the Tourism Board rules and guidelines and that it operates within the Portuguese law.

Muchas gracias por su comentario. Me gustó mucho que hubieran estado en mi apartamento. Espero que vuelvan pronto a pesar del ruido de las gaviotas. No siempre hacen ruido, depende de la época del año. Espero que los tampones hayan ayudado.
