The location was very good, about a 12 minute walk from Sao Bento train station, more uphill on the way to the unit, but then mostly downhill on the way back to the train station. The slope was not really steep. The unit is on the first floor, so not too many steps up when you arrive. Lovely views of Douro River from the spacious bedrooms. The kitchen and sitting area, across the hall, was a very good size. Unfortunately the wifi did not work very well on this side. The location was very convenient, and we would stay there again. Across the road is the Porta4 Restaurant, a very tiny restaurant with excellent reviews, for which you have to make a reservation a few days in advance.
