The cathedral’s quarter is an intricate group of houses and alleys in the oldest part of the city, and is one of the most colorful and picturesque neighborhoods of Porto. The many narrow medieval streets, the high houses that seems to bend, the clothes hanging to dry in the wires, the children playing outside… all that is a very important part of Porto’s soul. For centuries, the whole town was just only the Bairro da Sé. The bishops gave the order to build a wall that surrounded and defended the whole neighborhood. All the main activities in the city took place here. Some streets still maintain in their names a sort of echo of those times: the Merchants Street, Bainharia Street (where sword scabbards where made), among other examples. In the 13th century the city has grown, the old walls were overturned and the population occupied areas along the river, like the Ribeira. The Fado houses are also in Bairro da Sé. Some typical taverns, with traditional snacks and drinks, can be found there too. If you take one of the downhill streets to Ribeira, the next neighborhood, you'll get to the riverside area in 15 minutes.
The trip to/from Porto Airport takes 30 minutes, by car. You can walk to most of the spots not to be missed in Porto, but the metro's nearest stop, S.Bento, is only 450m far from home and there are plenty of bus lines available at Batalha Sq., within a 8-minute walk.
This is a self check-in property and you will be requested to verify your identity before being able to check into the flat. There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking in the property. If our team discovers any evidence that this rule has been breached (e.g., smoke smell, ashes, butts, etc.) we fully reserve the right to charge a €200 EUR smoking fee, at minimum.

This is a nice space in a good location. However, dealing with the property management was frustrating. They constantly said "if there is anything we can help with, let us know" but when you brought up issues they would not even try to help. This place is bare minimum and doesn't even provide dish towels. Also the locked gate and door makes it impossible to use the lock box to share the one set of keys effectively.

Location is good to get around in Porto
The property was clean in general and location was convenient to get around in Porto. Note that the property was split in 3 levels - it feels so tiny. 1st bedroom was located in the loft so watched out your head when moving around, nothing to hang the clothes. We had to go down to use the bathroom a floor below (not convenient). A master bedroom plus the 2nd bathroom were on the second, and the dining and sitting area at the bottom floor (quite spacious). Bathrooms were very small with no toiletries other than toilet papers. Be prepared to bring your own toiletries like body wash, shampoo and conditioner. No kitchen towels and bathroom mats. Beds were comfortable though. Wanted to share more details about the property so the next visitors can better prepare for the stay.

A lovely home!
I really enjoyed my “home away from home” here! Everything was exactly as advertised in the listing. You MUST watch the video provided after your booking is confirmed so you can easily find it. Be orepared to walk hills and stairs as it is above the historic district with beautiful views of the river and the Ribiera waterfront from outside by the church.
