It's a just renewed apartment with all the commodities of contemporary life, with a little taste of its original modernist architecture. The building is from the fifties it was the first street in Porto to have had a proper urban project made by one of the finest Júlio Brito, the same author of Coliseu do Porto.
It's a two bedroom, one with a double bed, and the other with two large singles. The kitchen is an open plan to the living room, with a small balcony to Clérigos Tower. It is equipped with all appliances and hygiene stuff like soap and shampoo;and all the small comforts you may need so travel light!
