Really nice apartment, and within walking distance of the town/river. We walked everywhere but as it's always uphill to return to the apartment (as most would be) some may prefer to use transport of which there are several options. Really not an issue unless you have difficulty walking. We were met by Arthur who really took time to explain what to see and where to eat. Try the fillet stake at Brasao but book ahead. Superb steak and only 18 euros! Also recommend http://side-ride.pt. Motorbike and side car tour. Brilliant fun. Lovely apartment in a great city.
