Beautiful apartment. Can't beat the location.
Pros: - the apartment itself was spacious and well-decorated. There is a small balcony, where we spent most of our time. Nice for a glass of wine at sunset.
- the scooters were so much fun! We followed Patricia & Bruno's advice and rode them out to Foz do Douro. I highly recommend.
- air conditioning in the bedroom was a life-saver, as we had to close the windows at night due to the noise (see below).
- location was excellent. Close to the tourist sites, restaurants, shopping, etc. Area felt safe.
Cons: - there is a sports bar behind/below the apartment that can get very loud, very late. The first night, a rowdy crowd kept us up until 4am. The second night it quieted down.
- there were some ants in the apartment. Not a huge deal, but annoying.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. But the late night noise may be a dealbreaker for some lighter sleepers.
