Diana's place is in the Ribeira area located at the western end, so there is minimal street noise. We both literally had to catch our breath when we walked into the place as the view's are AMAZING. The apartment is on the edge of the water, with amazing views for the Duoro, Ponte Luis I, and Gaia, where the port wine companies are located, all within easy walking distance. Many of the Duoro day cruises and the cross Duoro ferry leave just steps away. We had a taste of port waiting for us at our arrival. The apartment has air conditioning for hot days.
