Carla communitated very well with myself over text and made check in very simple. The apartment is in a perfect central location right next the the Douro River and next to a beautiful church (Bell rings every day at 8am). There is also a shop very near by which provides essential foods etc. The apartment was spacious and clean with very comfy beds. Only thing I would say is that it was a wee bit cold in the evenings (obviously wouldn't have this problem in summer).
