Jose met us at the appt, helped us check in and showed us around the appt. He also provided suggestions for local attractions and restaurants.
The appt was very clean and looked to be newly renovated. It is ideally located a two minute walk from the walking bridge across the Douro River. Lots of restaurants across the river where we spent most of our time.
There is a hairdresser two doors up the street and a wine store right next to that. Very convenient !!
The cable car is a 5 minute walk and there are a number of shops and restaurants on your side of the river (we preferred the other side)
As with most of Portugal you have to be ready for some steep inclines and declines when walking
A few things to note- three flights of stairs to your appt, parking is actually 150m away in a monitored lot and there is some construction on the street…they are civilized and don’t start until 8 and knock off at 5ish. It really didn’t bother us as the walls are thick
Would stay here again
