Lovingly renovated by the owner, the apartment is cozy, well-equipped and has a balcony overlooking a garden and an orange tree. The new building has an elevator, garage and garden. We wish you an incredible experience! Welcome to the Meraki apartment : ) Meraki is a Greek word meaning to do things with love, to put part of yourself into everything you set out to do. And that's exactly the energy here! The owner renovated the apartment for herself to live in, so every corner of it is filled with love and good energy. The owner left Porto and decided to put it up as local accommodation so that other people, like her, can have incredible experiences staying there. The apartment is cozy and very well equipped, with a nice balcony facing the garden, overlooking an orange tree. Ideal for enjoying a delicious breakfast or afternoon tea while watching the sunset. The building is new, has an elevator, garage and garden. The apartment is also very well located in the heart of Porto. It's a 15-minute walk from Bolhão Market, Rua de Santa Catarina, Via Catarina shopping center and the famous Avenida dos Aliados. Right in front of the apartment is a market with fresh fruit and vegetables. Just a 5-minute walk away, you'll find one of Portugal's largest supermarkets, Continente, and also the 24 de Agosto Metro Station. The apartment is in a very quiet and well-located neighborhood. The owner wishes you an incredible experience :) \*Please note there is daytime construction nearby.
