The views from this first floor apt are stunning, no matter the time of day, though the evening light on water and old building is magical. (there is a lift for luggage) It is close to everything when you do manage to drag your selves away from the windows. Catia meet us on arrival was friendly, passionate about Porto and easy to understand. Some Tips, we didn't need the hop on bus. The old tram two minutes walk (yellow) takes you to the coast 3 euros each way. Do visit the restaurant below good food and friendly staff. (did not disturb us at all noise wise and fun to check out the diners) walk over to port tasting (just other side of river 10 mins) using pathway under the steel bridge and catch the gondola up to the top of same bridge afterwards for the walk home. It's fun (gondola 6 euros one way or 9 euro for return) Make sure you visit Livraria Lello book store buy tickets on your mobile just show phone at entrance, you need ticket before you que. The rest you can discover your selves. Enjoy
