This is a perfectly located apartment, two minutes from the river with a great selection of bars and restaurants, as well as the port houses! Also very easy to reach Ribeira and other areas on the north side of the river, by bridge (either level), boat or metro (which we did not use). Being on the square by the church gives more space and a nice area to look on to, with the doors open, hardly any traffic or other noise. The kitchen is so well equipped, almost home from home, although we didn’t cook we could see so many utensils, dishes etc if guests wanted to prepare and cook meals. It suited us as 2 friends wanting our own bedrooms, but good sized communal space, but would also be good for 2 couples, lovely to have the 2 sets of doors opening in the lounge area on to the church square. Paulo was very helpful and good at responding to any queries we had, initially a problem with the entry code and opening the door - definitely need to pull the door first and then push it when entering the apartment from the street!! Instructions for kitchen equipment were available and the information provided with some simple rules was well set out and clear. Overall we were really happy staying at the Port Wine Flats
