Yes, the location is perfect, and the door that opens from the balcony brings the whole river scene and bridge into your apartment, which might I add is not done justice by the photos which make it appear much narrower than it really is. It's REALLY nice of a host to provide food in the fridge, milk, wine, port, breakfast cereal. I almost feel guilty we didn't finish it all. It should be noted there is an odd little corridor to the bedrooms with steps and a very low ceiling so you have to be wary to duck. When you're as tall as me it's inevitable you're going to bang your head on occasion which is the only downside, but mainly you're living right in among the Ribeira locals (a labyrinthine set of alleys among steep hills) and that feels special. Thanks Felipe & Manuela.
