The apartment is advertised as having a wonderful view of the Douro river and the Ponte Luis I. That is an understatement. My stay was quite rainy, but in good weather it’s unbelievable, especially in the early morning.
Although getting there can be challenging depending on your fitness (steep roads and a few stairs - just like the rest of Porto, really), if you’re up for it, it’s a splendid location for a vacation in Porto. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Most of the city center can be reached on foot. Subway station São Bento is about a five minute walk away.
Communication with Ricardo was good and concise, never intrusive or “too much”. I felt like it was “my place” during my stay. Superb location for one or two people.
A small table and a chair or two on the balcony would be the cherry on top of the cream!
Highly recommended!
