We recently stayed 3 nights here. We are 2 couples from Australia in our 60's driving around parts of Spain and Portugal. Loved the size and location of this Apartment overlooking the Douro River.It is on the Gaia side not Porto but it was good not staying in inner city Porto. A 15 minute walk gets you to the bridge to cross to Porto. On same side as the Port Caves (we did Taylors). We took a 50 minute river cruise which I would recommend to get ones bearings. Very touristy cafes and restaurants here so apart from G7 Roasters (fantastic coffee) we didnt eat along here but preferred to walk other direction to the fishing village Afurada more local and better food and atmosphere. Was good to have undercover parking. Apartment has all mod cons but austere. Great views but if you leave windows open can be noisy at times although this all adds to the experience that is Porto. Highly recommend.
