As Porto has exploded as a city break destination, the number of Airbnbs here have increased exponentially, with many people taking advantage of the availability of cheap, run-down old town properties to get in on the tourism market.
And whilst this means that there has never been a better time to find a central, stylish apartment for your weekend getaway to Porto, sifting through the literally hundreds of listings can be a little intimidating!
So, to make it easier to plan your trip, we’ve put together a personal selection of city’s most incredible Airbnbs, all well-located for a city break and broken down by price bracket (under £60 per night and under £100 per night) so every traveller can find something perfect in their price range.
Here are 13 amazing Airbnbs in Porto!

Porto Airbnbs Under £60 a night
Azulejo Apartment
We’re not the biggest fans of studios (it’s the kitchen smells, mostly), but we’ve got to admit that Porto has a handful of excellent studio options - including this one at the edge of the Bolhão district.
A delightfully refurbished apartment in a traditional building, it has a fully functioning kitchen, stylish pieces throughout, and a lovely balcony overlooking a pedestrianised street and public park.
Capacity | 2 guests, one bedroom
Price | From £46 for two people

Porto Dream
This small but perfectly formed duplex apartment is so bloody cool and proves that with some quirky design techniques a little space can go a long way!
We love how bright and airy it is, the cute little raised chill out area, the minimalist design features and fully functioning kitchen. It’s also in a great location, just 350 metres from Bolhão station.
Capacity | Technically four guests, but with just one proper bed we wouldn’t really recommend this place for larger groups.
Price | From £57 for two people, per night.

Straw Duplex
Located about a 15-20 minute walk from the river - and therefore away from the busy, touristic areas of Porto - this is a great option for those that prefer a more local experience and don’t mind a little walk to get where they need to go.
Stylish, crips design throughout, a really great bedroom considering it’s a duplex, and all the mod cons you’d expect from a modern Airbnb.
Capacity | Four guests, one bedroom
Price | From £56 for two people

Light High Ceiling Apartment
The best value Airbnb on this list, this one room studio apartment may not be perfect for all (if, for example, you need lots of space), but with its effortlessly cool design, stylish little elements and attention to detail, we know it’ll be just perfect for some people.
Capacity | Two people, one bed (the ad states two beds - one of which is a sofa bed - and three people, but we would absolutely NOT recommend that!)
Price | From £44 per night, for two people

Casas de SantAna
