They say you have 3 seconds to make a good impression, this apartment only takes 1! It is simply gorgeous, the photo's here only tell half the story. It really is one of the best places I have ever stayed.

Luis is lovely and was there to meet me and show me around as well as replying promptly to any queries I had before booking. He gave me lots of tips about where to go and where to eat.

The location of the apartment is perfect, you are a short walk from Sao Bento Metro for getting to/from the airport. You are about a 10/15 minute walk to the edge of the Duoro River. You have the Torre dos Clérigos right outside your window and the famous Livraria Lello & Irmão (book shop that inspired JK Rowling) is right next door.

There is a wonderful bakery around the corner and loads of restaurants, bars and tabernas all around you so really you could not be in a better location and you will feel like a local.

The added bonus of the yoga school is fantastic. Sadly I was ill while I was on holiday so was only able to take part in one sessions.

I would not hesitate to recommend Luis and his apartment and in fact I already have!

NB: if you are a light sleeper or not used to apartments you may want to take some earplugs as there is some noise from around.
