Description Poet's Swing: Porto

Rua da Alegria is only a few minutes away from the shopping street of Santa Catarina and within walking distance to the riverside. But the central location doesn't mean that Poet's Swing is noisy – tucked away on a quiet street, it offers a relaxing atmosphere with beautifully refracting light from the tall windows. Spending time here is a pleasant experience, highlighted by the sleek modern furniture. There aren't many entertainment options in this home, but if you're here to explore the city, then you'll love coming back to this luminous apartment.

Home truths:
* This home overlooks the street on one side and an interior courtyard on the other – it's not the most picturesque view
* The reception lobby gets quite busy during the day
* Our home critic noted that the lift is quite slow
