The location of the flat is nice - or even more than that - when it comes to the view from the tiny balcony: the Douro river, the old town Porto, the cityscape. If you cross the road and take the stairs down into the small streets, you will enjoy small shops, cafees & wine cellars within 5-10 minutes. Keep in mind, though, you will have to accept the noise from traffic during morning & afternoon hours. Nights are quiet - which we appreciated.
Beds are good, bathroom big & clean, kitchen OK. Spacious flat!
