When traveling, I prefer renting short-stay apartments for more room, more flexibility, more autonomy, and sometimes at an even lower price than hotels. In Porto, I found PortoSense apartments, conveniently located on Praça da Ribeira, literally a stone-throw away from River Douro. We stayed at its duplex apartment (€120/night) located on the 4th floor, close enough to the hustle and bustle of the Praça da Ribeira but quiet and calm once all the windows are closed. It has a full kitchen, two bathrooms, double bed, sofa bed, and daybed…yes that’s a lot of beds, with enough space to accommodate up to 6 people. Let’s take a tour.
View from the window looks right out to the river. We could hear the market actions even from four floors up and we quite enjoyed this convivial atmosphere. The best part is that whenever we got tired of the noises, all we had the do was shut the windows.
They’ve got Port wine for us. That’s what
