This apartment is stunning and perfectly situated on the Douro river with amazing choices for food and beverage all around the area. The balconies in Rui’s apartment literally make you feel like you are sitting atop the river, with breathing views of the famous train and walking bridge (Dom Luis I Bridge) and directly across the Douro River you will see all of the infamous Porto wine makers that you can visit if you wish by simply taking a walk across the bridge. The apartment itself is beautiful and modern, well equipped and sunny with 3 beautiful large doors leading out to 3 balconies for these breathtaking views during the day and in the evening of the Douro River. Rui was excellent to communicate with and his apartment was easy to get to(in a historic area where you cannot drive your car up to but it is very close to the main road and very close to a parking garage, we easily brought a couple of luggages without struggle)The entrance to the apartment is on the 1st level from the historic street side but when on the balcony you will find that the apartment is higher up on the river side for the spectacular view). We did not use many of the amenities in the kitchen as we did not do much cooking but if we had wanted to cook a meal, the kitchen was very well equipped. Beds and linens were super comfy and the living room furniture was nice to sit and watch a little tv before bed. Our family of 4 was super pleased and would definitely stay at Ruis place again. Thank you Rui!!
