The apartment is clean, bright, stylishly decorated with additional soft furnishings which made it a very comfortable stay. We were on the third floor so had amazing views of the Douro River from all of our windows which was fabulous. The location is great for the historic quarter, five minutes from the river and a ten minute walk from Sao Bento metro. The apartment is located on a steep street, thus the amazing views and in a quiet location which was excellent. Our hosts replied promptly to all enquiries, agreed to an early check in to allow us to get on with enjoying the city and very accommodating when our flight arrived 40 minutes early by meeting us even earlier than planned. Adriano was warm and welcoming when he met us, provided maps and was full of useful information, told us to contact him if we had any questions or concerns. Being in a flat you may encounter noise when people are talking and moving round upstairs which could entail you waking up earlier than planned, this only happened on some of the days we stayed and did not spoil our holiday.
