Our Douro #2 apartment in Porto is the most beautiful AirBnB we have experienced in Europe thus far. It far exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect for walking in all directions in the old city, particularly to the river. We enjoyed opening the floor to ceiling French doors, especially at sunset, to the views of people from all ages, walks of life and throughout the world enjoying themselves on benches and on the lush green lawn of Henry the Navigator Square with the Stock Exchange Palace just behind and Sao Francisco Cathedral nestled to the side. Just stunning! (And, most often, as we enjoyed the twilight view at the end of a long day we were also enjoying a glass of Port from the bottle the hosts left us as a gift.)
A marble island in the kitchen and modern appliances makes using it a pleasure. A large kitchen/living room is infused with natural light looking out through four floor to very high ceiling french doors which open wide to fresh air and a spectacular view. The three bedrooms with built ins and ample closet space and beautifully appointed 2 1/2 bathrooms was much appreciated. This is truly a spectacular apartment and we highly recommend it.
