Pictures are exactly the same as the apartment except it is larger than one can imagine! You will be right in the middle of everything: pubs, restaurants, stores and lovely sights. This cannot be closer to everything; the bridge over the Douro river, the pedestrian zone - Santa Katarina, the churches, just check it out on the map - it's awesome. Extra tea and coffee plus other items to welcome you. Love the extra books and movies and other things to enjoy in the apartment. Sparkling clean too and the bed is a luxury with tons of squishy pillows. And what a HOT shower. yea!
