The flat is wide and nicely decorated and the bed is comfortable. There are several shops near by and a delicious traditional bakery for the breakfast! It is located in the shopping area and not far from the Douro. There are very good restaurants in the surrounding. The view is not fantastic currently but it is likely the buildings will be renovated in the future (as they are empty). Just be aware it is on the 3rd floor without elevator (which was not an issue for us)
