Lady River House was a great place to stay for our recent visit to Porto. It is located very close to the Douro Riverfront, Central Porto (essentially downtown), University of Porto neighborhood and Gaia (where many of the Port Cellars are located). Joao was a fantastic host. He was easy to communicate with before our trip and met us at check in, showed us around the apartment and its various amenities and made sure we could figure out how to work the various keys. Very safe, amazing view of the river and overall great central location. Joao also had great recommendations of places to check out, including some less touristy restaurants. Get ready to walk lots of steps to get to the apartment though, it is conveniently located on Escadas do Barredo, but not close to where a car can be parked.
