Stay here if you want to be in the heart of the Ribeira , it is absolutely ideally situated for the river and the port cellars. A short bus or tram ride, both just steps from the apartment take you to the beach for some sea air. The apartment is spacious and clean and the double bed was very comfortable. The shower was lovely and hot all mod cons etc. Take a taxi from €20 /25 the metro was 17 stops and cost 14.90 for two of us.
Thanks Cristina for the local info and welcome. We just wandered around looking at the beautiful old buildings, drank port and ate cod , it was great.
