Terrific apartment in a convenient location. Just up the street from the Douro River, there are plenty of restaurants, shops, and markets in the neighborhood. For tourists, it’s a short uphill walk to Estacao de S Benton (the bus station) and Avenida dos Aliados. The apartment was clean and comfortable with essential amenities. We took them up on the offer to arrange for a driver to pick us up at the airport, and we’re glad we did. Driver was waiting for us when we arrived and was very polite. We definitely recommend Merc Place!
