About this property

Flowerstreet54 - Special flat close to Train & Metro

Due to its important role in Porto's history, 'Rua das Flores' Street has more visitors during the day than local people. It's a place you cannot miss. Why not stay here for some days instead of just passing through?

This self-catering and quiet apartment, on the 2nd floor of the Flowerstreet54 building, is carefully furnished and features hardwood floors. This well-sized and comfortable apartment is for two people. There is one bedroom with one queen-sized bed. The bathroom is clean with a modern suite and has a bathtub and shower. Clean bath towels, Linen, and tableware are all included and the kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, stove, oven, fridge, toaster kettle, and all you need to prepare your own meals. We can supply a travel crib at an extra cost.

The Flowerstreet54 Flats building has been completely rebuilt but had to keep the original architecture the imposition of the Culture Department of Portugal to maintain it's beautiful Portuguese style. The apartment is 300 meters from Ribeira Square. Located just 4 minutes walk from the Metro station 'São Bento' and also São Bento Railway Station, thus arriving from Oporto airport or any other places in Porto city is easy. The location is convenient, fast and economical and from here you can easily take advantage of all other public and tourist transport.

Next, to the apartments, there are supermarkets, grocery stores, coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, bars, museums, and taxi stops. Set in the heart of Porto's historic district, all-important monuments can be explored on foot. For example, Clerigos Tower, Lello Library, Bolsa Palace, Ferreira Borges Market, and Ribeira are all just 4 minutes away. You can also visit the wine cellars of Porto and the Cais de Gaia by simply walking across D. Luís Bridge and getting the chance to do a Cruise in the River. Nearby you can rent bicycles, program a guided visit, and get the tram to the beach on a beautiful trip along the Douro River to the beautiful village of Pinhão.

You will have access to our Flowerstreet54 blog and our online guidebook so you can get the most out of your visit to our city without the need to do too much previous research.

It would be hard to find a more perfect place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. Plenty of space to unpack and feel at ease. Big bathroom...not usually found in flats. Big bath and shower....quirky shower door. You have to see it...to understand. Not bad in any way...just strange.

Appartement très bien situé

Cet appartement est situé tout prêt de la station Sao Bento, ce qui est génial pour tous les déplacements et pour les visites. Vous pouvez visiter Porto à pied facilement. Seul petit bémol, nous aurions apprécié un peu plus d’équipement dans la cuisine, comme une machine à café. Nous avons eu du mal à trouver une épicerie assez grande dans le secteur, juste de tout petits marchés. Il y a beaucoup de restaurants tout autour alors il n’est peut-être pas nécessaire de se faire à manger… Le propriétaire est très gentil et répond très rapidement à toutes les questions. Nous avons été quatre jours à Porto, quatre jours de pluie. Le bon emplacement de cet appartement nous a beaucoup aidé lors de notre séjour.

Get location and comfortable apartment

You can't beat the location, and surprisingly it is not loud, even though it is on a very busy touristy street. I loved having a balcony to sit out on and also the bathtub was a nice luxury. A couple things to note. If the listing hasn't been changed yet, there is no laundry in the unit, nor the building. There is a public one within a 5 minute walk. Also, know that there is no one on site. We ran out of toilet paper on our day 3 evening of our 5 day stay and had to wait until 11am the next day to be replenished. We were told that our unit is only allotted 2 rolls of TP per stay. This seemed unreasonable for a family of three for 5 days. The late check out of 1pm was very nice.

This was a cozy apartment in an excellent location. It's located on a busy pedestrian street, but our apartment was in the back of the building and very quiet. Super convenient to the train station and an easy walk to major sites. Highly recommend this property!

Lovely apartment perfectly licated

Just back from 4 nights stay. Met on arrival and lots of helpful info. We are a couple in our 60s and apartment gave us flexibility. Described as cozy, but was absolutely fine for us as a couple. Spotless. Not that many dishes etc but who needs them! We walked length and breadth of city but loads of transport if that suits better. We found May a perfect time for sight seeing and apartment an excellent base for us

Fabulous!

We stayed at João’s and Cristina’s Porto flat for 4 nights. It was wonderful! Conveniently located. Beautifully refurbished and decorated with bright rooms and a lovely kitchen. Comfy beds and a very spacious bathroom. The flat and building was also very quiet. We never heard any other neighbors or street noise. João was so kind and helpful as well. Being our first trip to Porto, we texted João many time with questions about the flat and the city. He always replied promptly with answers to everything. We would highly recommend staying at João’s and Cristina’s Porto flat.

Nice downtown apartment

The apartment in the very center of Porto provides a wonderful opportunity to explore the city of Porto hiking and enjoying the urban surroundings. Stylishly furnished, it is good for two people. Wi-Fi is easy, the facilities could be more adequate, especially in the kitchen. But if you don't want to cook yourself, it's just fine. You'll find a good restaurant next door ... Joachim

Why they chose this property

Location is crucial when visiting a city like Porto and our flat couldn't be more central than this. Metro and Train stations at 200 meters. One of the most important streets in Porto named "Rua das Flores", near to Ribeira, full of beautiful buildings, street artists and fantastic stores. Clerigos Tower, Lello Bookstore, Bolsa Palace and many other are all at less than 500m. Visit the wine cellars of Porto simply walking across D. Luís Bridge and get the chance to do a Douro Cruise.

What makes this property unique

This apartment is located in a prime location in the heart of the city, where you will be able to walk to many of the city's top attractions. Despite being in an old building, the inside of the apartment has been completely renovated, giving you the best of both worlds. You get the charm and character of an older building combined with the modern conveniences and comforts of a newly renovated space.

Overall, this apartment in the center of Porto is a great choice for those looking for a comfortable and convenient place to call home while exploring all that the city has to offer. You will not need to rent a car and the bus, train, and metro will help you in the rare cases that you will need to leave the historical area. If you still consider renting a car or coming with it from other cities, In the historic center of Porto, is not easy to find street parking without paying regardless of the apartment that you rent in this area. But there are two underground parking areas, both of them only 200 meters away (Ribeira Park and Cardosas Park). You can check the parking price here: https://parclick.com/parking-porto
