The location of the apartment allows for absolutely beautiful views of bridge, the river, and Vila Nova do Gaia on the other side. The number of windows is great and allows for lots of great natural light. Because it is near the river there is quite a bit of walking uphill to get to other sites, but there is public transportation easily accessible nearby. The host was incredibly responsive including by fixing the wifi at 10pm one night so that we could continue trip planning (we had expected a response the next day). Of note because of the location of the apartment you can hear some music and people outside (this may be an issue for people that need a very quiet environment at night but it was mostly an issue on Friday and Saturday nights and it would definitely not preclude us from staying in the same place again in the future.
