The apartment is simply beautiful with glorious views of the river and the city. Very spacious and contemporary with all of the dishes and amenities that you need for a stay in Porto. It is easy to arrive with a rental car, and the parking (two private spots in the building's parking garage) is excellent. Check-in and check-out are very simple, and the only complication was that we forgot (before the helpful reminder) about paying the city tax in cash when we left. The apartment is fantastic for relaxing with friends and/or family, especially if you have a car and are willing to pay for parking in the city or near the bodegas. It is a bit of a walk (20 minutes to the bodegas and 40 minutes to the city), but the walks are beautiful along the river. Because we did go into the city center a few times, we ended up paying for parking for the day. It is also a very easy drive out to the ocean. Beautiful place to spend time with family and friends in a beautiful location.
