We were met on time by the friendly and efficient Caterina who showed us the apartment. The apartment is right on the riverfront in the Ribeira district. This is a great location however it is extremely busy at most times with people walking through the tangle of streets and sometimes very noisy with the bars and restaurants that stay open till late. The view of the river and Gaia is wonderful, but again the party boats and sometimes jet skis can spoil the ambience. The apartment looks like the photos but the furnishings are starting to look like they need a bit of an update. There is an elevator to the second floor which was welcome after days of exploring. The wifi worked perfectly and main attractions are close by, if sometimes uphill! There is a great restaurant called Bacalhau underneath the building which is worth trying.
