Porto Polka Dot

This studio apartment in Porto is certainly petite, but it’s a bright space that’s perfect for a couple or solo traveller looking for a practical base from which to explore the city. Its private garden is a definite highlight and thoughtful touches like an Emma mattress, a rainfall shower and traditional tiling in the kitchen add to the charm and comfort. Its position just north of the historic centre means this home is best suited for those who don’t mind walking a bit to see the sights, but there are plenty of public transport links nearby to make exploring all the easier.


Home truths:
*This home is on the ground floor of the building
*It's laid out more like a studio with the bedroom semi-open to the living area
*There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*Given its central location, you may hear some noise from the street and neighbours during your stay
*The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
*Storage space is minimal here, so we'd recommend packing light
*The kitchenette is compact – we think it's better suited to light bites than larger meals
*Self-check-in is available
*We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Porto on foot or by public transport instead
