Great location. Host is incredibly kind. One quick note, those that have mobility issues beware that the flat is right smack in the middle of the large hill that faces the Douro. Going down or up does take effort, especially if you have heavy luggage in tow. The small market at the bottom only carry bare bones minimum necessities. If you plan on cooking at the rental like we did, take a cab to the Pingo Doce nearby. (less than 4 euros each way) All cab rides were very reasonably priced as the most we paid was 7 euros for a 20 minute ride. Porto is also a smaller city where you can walk to most of the attractions without really needing the metro. Flat has modern feel and is great for a home base. Can't wait to visit again.
