The apartment was perfect. The balcony has a fabulous view of the city and the Douro River. We hung out there many a night with a glass of wine. The space was very clean and the bed very comfortable. It has a compact galley kitchen, but with everything you need. Some folks mentioned this before, but it is a 5 story walk up. If you have a lot of luggage, or don’t like stairs, this may not be a good fit - but the view/balcony is worth it.
