This is a true gem of a property. Very peaceful location and a short walk you can sit outside at the ice cafe enjoy coffee, delicious cakes whilst looking over the Douro river.
You can catch the 500 or 900 bus close to the cafe which will take you quickly into the City Porto dropping you close to the main station .The 1 Tram also stops outside. If you take either bus it will also take you the opposite direction to the beaches. I walked into the city which I would recommend as you will discover that every route is fascinating if you appreciate architecture.
The apartment has everything you need and a little terrace which was a suntrap in the evenings a quite place to sit and read. As a single traveller I felt very safe in this location. I would certainly return .
