The short - When I go back to Porto, I hope this place is available to stay in again!!!
The long - Great communication with Maria & Paulo!!! Paulo met us at steps of apartment and took us upstairs, opened front door, we all said wow! We looked at view and said WOW! Looked across street and wall even said WOW (for World of Wine, very near by!). Apt. was clean and well decorated, beds were awesome!!! (thanks again Paulo!), kitchen great, bedroom upstairs was were my wife n I stayed loved it, could lift window in roof up for fresh air and view of Douro River. The room being in loft does have a bit of low ceiling in corners but we found it to be no problem! Paulo then took us to parking lot around corner to park car during our stay (no need car unless want to do day trips inland, which we did). Location was perfect!! Would take too long to list all the stuff within short walking distance. Except! I will tell you to walk out of apt. turn left short walk uphill to grassy knoll AWESOME place to watch sunsets, we even got some great local entertainment and drinks! Thanks again Maria & Paulo!!!
