Ana Sofia and Joao are indeed super hosts and were very flexible on check in / our times that suited our travel and meant we could maximise our time. Super quick communications and very friendly. Nice neat apartment and excellent terrace balcony as on top floor - really catches the sun and sky and good space to relax. Mechanical window shutters add good peace of mind security and help rooms stay cool. Easy location to access everything in town or by river (subject to the hills) and lots of little hidden cafes/bars descretly nearby - ‘Hungry Bikers’ around the corner a must for excellent healthy breakfasts! Just a bit of a shame can’t enjoy the superb river Douro view and sunset from own balcony when the trees opposite are in full leaf - but can enjoy at street level in small park/terrace - popular with others.
