Don't hesitate--book this place now! We really enjoyed staying across the river from Porto (how else can you get that gorgeous view!), and the walk over the bridge was very easy. We went back and forth a couple times each day we were there. When Pedro offers you suggestions on what to see in Porto, you should take them! I hadn't done much research before arriving and he provide us a perfect itinerary of spots to wander to and places to taste port and olive oil (another Portuguese speciality). The apartment itself was clean and spacious--we just wish we had stayed longer! I personally recommend having a little port on the porch outside the front door while you enjoy the lovely view. Great way to unwind after a day of wandering.
