João's apartment is in a luxury building on the south side of the Douro River. Located on an upper floor, the glass windows that line the western-facing wall provide an impressive view. It is a modern space that is adequately furnished for any stay you might require. It should be noted that there is no air-conditioning, but the cooling breeze afforded by opening the many windows should suffice to keep most people cool. We didn't really utilize the kitchen to its fullest extent, but it has everything you would need. Three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms will accommodate a fair amount of people. We were just two couples, so it was plenty of room. A reserved parking spot in the basement is easily accessed by a remote on the keys, as is the electronically actuated front door. There is a mall, including a grocery store, right across the plaza, which was very convenient (and the wine section was like a candy shop for us adults). We chose to Uber when we had to, and had no issues getting a car to deliver us wherever we needed to go. It was an enjoyable stay, and João was attentive to any questions/needs. We would definitely stay there again.
